Mobile Artificial Climbing Wall Setup at Forum Mall Bangalore

Well, the mobile artificial climbing wall is going places.

Updated with the pictures of the wall after the recent burst of creativity!!!

Event promotion at the Garuda Mall, Bangalore





The wall after the art work.

A stark difference with the wall before.



From Hyderabad to Functions to Schools and now Shopping Malls.



The mobile artificial climbing wall setup was a novel way for the promotion of the new UTV action movie channel.



The wall is 8ft wide and 20ft high. The setup is very much refined now and it takes only couple for hours for the setup.



Wherever the wall has been put up, the response has been very good. Well, this is acting as a means to popularize the sport as well, which is very much needed :D

Badami Rock Climbing Trip

Beyond any doubt, Badami is THE paradise for Rock Climbers.

Pictures will speak for themselves. A photo log of the year end climbing trip.



It has the most wonderful lead routes and equally crazy bouldering moves.





It’s a big crazy dyno move.




There are more than 200 bolted routes. But sad to say that some of the burden-to-the-society people have stolen the starting hangers :( Very bad, which has resulted in some really high first clips. Like this one at more than 20ft.



The rocks are made up of sandstone and limestone. Thus we could climb for 4 continuous days. Compared to Ramanagram granites, they are super smooth, very very nice.







Some bouldering routes are really scary, like this one with the finishing hold at more than 25ft.



And some are really technical.



There are routes literally every where. You just have to look up and bingo, there is a route.







Great Shot!



Apparently, for non-climbers, Badami is most famous for its Cave Temples.
