I think if it's your 1st comp. you have to compete with the "beginners" go for it.

If you want to compete go for it. I have only done one comp after only climbing for less than a year, I had a great time doing it and placed in the beginner division. I was actually kind of shamed that I placed. I was hoping for enough points to be bumped into the next category. But either way, it was a blast just being there and climbing with other peeps.

Yeah, definitely do it. Comps are super fun, and you will climb way harder than you expect to, I guess the atmosphere makes you do it.

Go for it. Comps are a great way to get psyched and add some motivation to your climbing.

If you go into it expecting a day of climbing with motivated people and good problems you will not be disappointed. Also, it's hard not to have that motivation rub off on you at least a little.

Do it. I was climbing around the same when I dabbed my hand in the competition game.
