Well, this year the nationals was on a new wall and in a university campus. The wall is nice.
This wall is definitely the best artificial climbing wall in the country.
The rock face is the most impressive feature. It gives the same rock surface feel with zero accidents.
The event was organized in the Laxmi Bai National Univeristy of Physical Education, Gwalior, M.P. The wall is an indoor structure placed in their multi purpose hall.
This year’s South Zone team was big, 28 participants.
The event was inaugurated by the Gwalior’s Mayor. Participants at the inauguration.
Isha, aged only 8 years, did a demo climb during the inauguration. A very nice way to start the event.

Womens and Girls had the privilege of climbing on the rock face for their semis and finals. That’s unfair to the boys!!!!!!!!!

A new permanent Bouldering structure was also created specially for the event. It has definitely got good standard. It provides four different surfaces with lots and lots of scope for setting really crazy routes. Nice!!!

Well, to close it off, we have always seen bikes and cars running in a well, on Television. It was really breath-taking to see in front of your eyes. We had a chance to go to Gwalior Fair, and it was nothing less than spectacular to watch this crazy stunt show.
Hats off to the bikers.
