In Iwa Kakeru!, video games—especially puzzle games—have always been at the center of Konomi Kasahara's life. When she enters Hanamiya High School, she decides to break away from that routine and look for a new activity. While wandering the halls, she discovers the gigantic wall used by the school's rock climbing team and is immediately drawn to it. As soon as she tries to climb, Konomi realizes that the same puzzle-solving instincts that shaped her gaming skills can also help her find a path to the top.
Certain that she has found her calling, Konomi joins the club and begins training with the Hanamiya Climbing Team, including climbers such as Jun Uehara, Nonoka Sugiura, and Sayo Yotsuba. What starts as raw enthusiasm becomes a demanding introduction to competitive sport climbing, where technique, strength, and route reading matter as much as determination. As she works to improve her climbing skills, Konomi and her teammates learn what it truly means to be sports climbers and push toward victory in the competitions ahead.
