Competitive Climbing...

'To climb or not to climb' competitively seems to be the thought constantly recurring over the last couple days, causing spells of day dreaming and mind wandering. I need to register by Dec.1 but am unsure if it something that I want to do...
...turn something that I've been doing for the last two years as recreation and my form of escapism into something that is [ultra-]competitive. I already have doubts about my abilities and do I really need to compete against others of a similar ability just so I can see how I compare to everyone else? Or do I consider it a personal test of the training I've been putting myself through over the last 2 months?

...of which I still have my doubts...

Additionally, should I compete, do I challenge myself and enter Advanced (V5+) and compete with the best locally or do I concede to my doubts and enter Intermediate (V2-V4) for experience only. I personally believe that the V5+ will be way out of my league... especially to flash on the first attempt... but it would be a challenge.

**Update**
After much mental anguish and probing of friends opinions... I have decided to enter the competition in the Intermediate catagory. The comp is on Dec. 2nd... feel free to come down and watch... The mens scramble starts at 11:30am.

Location: Cliffhanger (Coquitlam). 98 Brigantine Drive, Coquitlam, BC, V3K 6Z6
