Climbing is a very technical and subtle sport - unlike football, where the team plays out clear tactics and strategies that can be explained and visualised relatively simply, climbing is more to do with balance, body positioning and coordination. Now, these things could be impressed upon an audience but would require pristine animation and direction which, unfortunately 'Sport Climbing Girls' doesn't have a lot of...
It seems to me that whoever thought up the whole premise knew something about climbing but the staff actually making the anime haven't a clue: puzzle games to climbing is surprisingly more realistic than it sounds - 50% of climbing is problem solving, working out the correct and most efficient sequence of moves to reach the top; lead climbing takes a while to learn and can't be done without training as is shown in the anime, the girls back clip which can be potentially very dangerous, their footwork is all over the place and body positioning is generally not shown very well.
And as with all sports anime, the Miss MC is stupidly op. I don't know much about other sports but in climbing it takes a very long time to get good; it uses muscles not often used in other sports and building finger strength takes years - if you go too hard your tendons WILL pop (trust me) - so sending a V6 highball after a month and a bit training is stupidly unrealistic.
The competition setting is fairly unrealistic too. The climbing community is generally very supportive and friendly which isn't really represented in the anime.
From a generic anime standpoint it's pretty meh. The animation is bland and uninteresting, the character design is whack and the story is pretty generic - mc wants to be best in japan, makes friends and rivals along the way - but if all you're looking for is naked feet and tight fitting sportswear with convenient camera angles this anime is for you. Hopefully it gets people interested in climbing like Dumbbell did for weight lifting but I'm afraid it's sub-par in that regard.
