GIRIVIHAR ROCK CLIMBING CAMP 25th - 30th December 2009
GIRIVIHAR since its conception in 1954 has been devoted to outdoor adventure activities like
hiking, rock climbing and mountaineering. Activities that cultivate love for the environment and
respect for nature.
Rock Climbing is an art in itself. It is also developing as an independent outdoor as well as
indoor sport. Like any other sports activity, Rock Climbing also calls for perfect physical and
mental fitness and mastery over the basic techniques and skills. Some are attracted towards the
sheer adventure involved in rock climbing while some towards the calculated risk involved in it.
Some people have a natural instinct for this sport and some just love to observe it. But certainly
if one loves climbing, learning correct and safe techniques is a must. It will not be correct to
claim that rock climbing can be taught through classroom style sessions. So we provide perfect,
on-site training from experts in the field. What remains to bring out the hidden genuine tough
rock climber in you is real hard practice.
It is with all those in mind that GIRIVIHAR has been conducting the Annual Rock Climbing
Training Camp for youth (age above 14) for more than 30 years now.
So if you have started experiencing the urge to climb, we are sure you will find this camp an
attractive proposition. Of course, a question most likely to occur to you will be, why you must
choose GIRIVIHAR’s camp, when you can master the sport just by practicing with your senior
fellow climber friends and other options that are available.
Here’s the answer:
GIRIVIHAR is one of the oldest and most reputed mountaineering clubs in Mumbai
We have had decades of experience conducting Adventure and Rock Climbing Activities,
and have enjoyed an enviable safety record
With a long list of pioneering ventures to our name, we are an organisation of genuine
mountain experts
First Aid facilities are available at climbing site
An optimum instructor: trainee ratio of 1: 4
We conduct this camp for one reason only - introducing new rock climbing enthusiasts to
the sport and moulding them to adapt only the correct and safe techniques.
We offer plenty of follow up sessions to fine tune and upgrade your skills
And last, but not the least, we conduct the Camp on a NO-PROFIT basis, making it one of
your wisest and most economical investments in your hobby
