Rock climbing is gaining popularity in India as a sport. Why not challenge yourself to a session this weekend? Beginners have a chance to learn the basics, and build confidence in a rock climbing workshop, organised by the bouldering gym, Boulder21, by Mumbai-based adventure sport platform, Girivihar.
"Participants will be taken through the fundamentals by an instructor, including body movements, grip, foothold, how to handle a fall, amongst others," a Girivihar team member shares. Apart from climbing techniques, climbers will be taught safety protocols as well.
It is an indoor wall. Shoes and other necessary equipment will be provided. They add that attendees should wear flexible workout clothing (avoiding sleeveless clothes), keep nails short, and avoid wearing accessories. Participants will be updated with all details as well.
Rock climbing remains an uncommon sport in India. The idea is to ensure that sessions can become a step towards generating awareness about it, and getting more people to take interest in and benefit from it.
On March 15; 9 am to 11 am
At Shree Math, Acharya Renukacharya Udyan, Nerul East.
