Rock Climbing

Adventure sports has fast caught up in the Indian milieu. Rock climbing is the arena of the adventurous, a constantly increasing tribe. Steep rocky cliffs and mountain sides offer much to explore and conquer to those with an inclination towards the sport.

Often seen as the first stage for mountain climbing, it is the most basic level of climbing a rock face. Hand and feet do most of the work, but safety equipment like ropes, body harness, friends (cramming devices that contract to the pulling of a trigger and are wedged in the crevices) and nuts (metal wedges of different sizes) are essential. A physically exhausting sport, rock climbing is also one of the most challenging.

India has a host of places that support rock climbing. The Manali valley in Himachal Pradesh is an excellent place for rock climbing. Adventure Hills offers courses in this sport by trained and qualified instructors. Rock climbing uses a minimum of aids and the challenge is to find the toughest route and scale it in the least possible time. However, it provides equipment like rope, gloves, hooks, helmets and harness to the climbers. Shoes  have to be brought by the climber himself/herself.
