Illustrated by
John Margeson.
After trying other sports, Dan decides that rock climbing could be his ticket to becoming a jock. Ditching his pals in order to become a champion, he ultimately learns the values of true friendship and good sportsmanship after entering a speed climbing competition. Though the message is unsubtle, it's delivered in a fairly light-handed way.
