Rock Climbing session at Kanheri Caves

We will be conducting a rock climbing training at Kanheri Caves on Sunday, 23th may 2010.

This is intended to be an introductory session and is open to the public for individual participation. Some images from a previous training session can be seen in our image gallery.

Meeting Point: National Park Main Gate (Borivali) at 9am sharp

We will then travel by vehicle to Kanheri Caves. We begin an introductory rock climbing training session with basic information on rock climbing, equipment, climbing protocol and safety measures. This will be followed by a demonstration.

The session will then continue with practice time on rocks of various difficulty levels where you can learn to climb through personal experience and improve your climbing technique under the direct guidance of Raka. Guided climbs are an excellent entry into the sport of rock climbing. We begin with easy routes and as your skill develops, we move on to the tougher ones. We will be winding up the session by 4:30 pm.
