Rock Climbing in Ramanagram near Bangalore

It was one of those days when your body is itching for the dose of climbing and nothing less than Ramanagram rocks can satisfy the hunger.

Beautiful saturday morning.

The weather was perfect for an absolute full day of climbing. One of the best things about staying in Bangalore is the most amazing weather in the whole of the world and one of the best climbing place, only a kissing distance away.

The rock face.

Well, this is the famous rock face, where 6 routes are bolted. All with grades around 5.

Now, I don’t think anything else needs to be said, photographs will say everything. It was a pure bliss.

Rain god, pounding on us.

Unfortunately, in the afternoon, rain played the spoilsport. Once it came down for 30mins and the next time for more than an hour. And more so, over the face of the rock.

Then it was the time to call it a day. Rock climbing in Ramanagram always leaves me with burning fingers and hell lot of satisfaction. Keep Climbing.
