### My story

Hey, Mani here. Climbing’s been a wild ride – highs, lows, all of it. Winning medals for India, like that first silver in LA, still gives me goosebumps. I’m the only Indian with five world championship medals in para climbing, and trust me, it’s not always smooth. But every comp, every win, every fall – it’s all part of the hustle. Still hungry for the next challenge, always.
