Here’s a beginner’s guide to Rock climbing and Bouldering in India.
Rock climbing can be a great workout. There are a lot of gyms that now offer rock climbing activity as a workout option.
It’s a nice diversion from the regular weight exercises and actually serves as a great workout.
Rock climbing & Bouldering
Rock climbing is done with all protective gear, and you’re tied to a rope, whereas bouldering is usually freehand (you are not tied to a rope).
This is why bouldering is usually done over a much smaller height.
India Hosts Bouldering and Rock Climbing Championships
For the love of defying gravity…Hang out with acclaimed bouldering idols from different countries at the Bengaluru Bouldering Championships (BBC) that is held at Koramangala Indoor stadium, Bengaluru.
The competition was started to increase Bengaluru’s appeal as a venue for international climbing competitions. With the support of the IFSC (International Federation of Sport Climbing), the organisers hope to organize a world-standard event (some day) in India that would inspire more people to take up the sport.
India has already hosted an IFSC bouldering world cup at Navi Mumbai.
