We had all come to this beautiful, though scant in vegetation, rocky(ing) place in Haryana to have a full day,on 21st of December 'O8,of exotic adventure climbing. The hour and a half journey in the completely packed car was, surprisingly, not at all tiring!Therefore, we did not waste even a minute on reaching the destination ,and
began exploring the rocks for the fittest route to have an encouraging start. The route located,the rope was tied to a huge boulder, with a double eight and two safety knots on the harness, the climbing began.The pumping heart ,the heavy sinews as the climb proceeded, and the thrill of climbing a natural rock more than ten times your own height was just too good. One after the other, fourteen climbers (though novice)took turns at scaling the rocks. The morning saw a frenzy mob as fourteen boys and girls from the college tried to fit themselves in one single Innova which had already accommodated all the ropes, harnesses et al plus the driver, the seven seater took off from the Rudra gate only to stop at Dhauj-our final destination. And now, an hour had passed,the route changed but the excitement was still the same especially because now we were to climb up and then rappel down the same route. Mean
while, a few of us had a relaxing time at the edge of the nearby natural lake; taking turns at the lake and the rocky wall. Evening was approaching and we were all lost in the fun of the rocks,the nature’s immense heights, the spirit to scale them and above all in the lighthearted mood of the group, from playing silly games to interviewing each other on cameras(cellphones) as common villagers.The day had left us all as one family and we could feel the strength and love that our stephanian family holds.The morning might have had a few famous ‘snobs’ but the evening had us all in one hue trying to humble nature by our feats at various places in Dhauj. Packing ourselves one atop the other, we began with our ride back to college..lost in the fun that the group had to offer on the way back, and only to regain consciousness when the driver called us off at the college gate. Nature had had its toll over us in return for our toppling over it!
