Description
I live and rock climb in Badami, located in South India, 150km North West of Hampi. Badami is home to some of the best sport climbing in India. The routes range from 5b to 8b+ and there are now some 9a's. I have completed my HMI (Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling) Basic mountaineering course - 300.
Sometimes the climbs are hard to find and it helps to have someone familiarity with the area to find hidden spots amidst the cliffs and temples. I help climbers find their way around crags, set up top ropes and suggest betas and try to improve technique where possible. I've been guiding in Badami for the last couple years, guiding foreigners and Indian climbers. My climbing grade is currently 7b+
EXPERIENCED CLIMBERS NEEDED!
We are currently seeking climbers with experience in climbing. We need climbers with experience in setting and cleaning routes. We also need help seeking climbers with experience in belaying top rope and lead belaying. If you would like to volunteer and don't have experience we could m teach depending on how long you commit. Climbers/ volunteers would be with guests and making sure they have a great climbing experience.
We are also seeking someone with Event coordinator experience to help set up a climbing festival here in Badami.
