Climbing …..climb on!

The Nature’s wonderful heights have always made me feel shortened –both in stature and pride! Nevertheless, I’ve been always in love with them, then be it the immense peaks of the mountains or the “ Delhi Heights ” of the college wall and nearby natural rocks where the college’s thrillionaires often pay their climbing visits- its all ….just indescribable. Climbing is the act of going up a mountain, hill, any steep terrain, or artificial wall. Climbing comes in many types, each having its own features and methods. There are several ways to categorize it. For instance, it can vary based on the area you are climbing. Using this category, its types include: Mountaineering or Mountain Climbing, Ice Climbing, Indoor Climbing, and Rock Climbing. Rock Climbing has become a major sport generally a risky sport, which needs physical strength and endurance, it poses a different kind of challenge, excitement, and adrenaline rush. This is probably one of the many reasons why a lot of people (me included) are so excited about this activity. The lovely ropes (as I like to call them) along with all those equipments including the artistic D shaped carribeners, are your life line once you begin climbing. The regular wall climbing sessions at the college wall and the occasional natural rock climbing have provided me great quality with these equipments to stay as far away from any mishaps as possible. But even after that there are a lot of things that one needs to keep in mind, the most important being the mandatory, “climbing” echoed by “climb on” to make sure the bilayer is ready! It is then followed by the most exciting part of the game-brisk movements of the steely hands on those varied holds providing the fashionable lizard-like climb over the footholds, discs et al; till your hands give up or the view of the top overwhelms you! The climbing, seemingly daunting, is actually one of the basic acts in the Adventure World! But still, the adrenaline rush, every time you get a bird’s eye view of the world beneath, with only you up there with the birds and the breeze, will suffice even the most veteran of the climbers.So, what are you waiting for?

CLIMB ON…!!
