Bouldering Events and Climbing Community Highlights
Experience the energy of Bangalore's climbing scene. From high-stakes competitions to casual weekend jams, discover how we push limits and build community in the heart of Malleshwaram.
This is me, representing India and winning a bronze medal at the 2023 IFSC World Championship in Bern, Switzerland. Bringing home medals for my country is a dream come true, and it’s the same passion and dedication I pour into every event we organize.
The Bangalore Open 2022 was one for the books. This video captures the incredible energy, from climbers tackling challenging bouldering problems to the moment our champions stood on the podium. This is what high-stakes, supportive competition looks like.
Dyno mode activated. Our skill workshops are all about pushing your limits in a fun environment. Here you can see climbers practicing dynamic moves, leaping for holds, and getting stronger with every attempt.
It's all about the vibe at our community boulder jams. This is where climbers of all levels come together to share routes, cheer each other on, and just have a great time. No pressure, just pure climbing bliss.
Here is the official announcement for the Bangalore Open 2022. We host major bouldering competitions for Pro and Amateur categories, creating a platform for the best climbers to test their skills.
Another proud moment, winning the silver medal for India at the IFSC Paraclimbing World Cup in Salt Lake City. My journey as a competitive athlete deeply influences the quality and spirit of the competitions we create.
Behind the scenes of our route setting. We pride ourselves on creating routes that are as much a mental puzzle as a physical challenge. This video shows a climber navigating one of our creative problems during a session.
We believe in giving back to the community. This was a call for volunteers for an indoor rock climbing workshop we hosted for local kids, because climbing is for everyone.

Why Climb at Bangalore Boulder?
Climbing is more than just gym time—it’s problem-solving in motion. When we set routes at our Malleshwaram facility, we don't just attach holds to a wall. We design puzzles. A route here forces you to think, balance, and trust your grip. We cater to every skill level:
- The Weekend Warrior: If you’re here for a social burn, our community jams offer an open, no-pressure environment to climb, chat, and enjoy the music.
- The Competitive Spirit: Our flagship event, the Bangalore Open, is where the city’s best gather to test themselves on competition-grade circuits.
- Technical Growth: Through our skill workshops, we break down complex moves like Dynos, helping you understand body tension and footwork.
Built by a World Champion
Founded by Manikandan Kumar, the only Indian with five world championship medals in para-climbing, our gym carries that same relentless spirit. We believe that every fall is a lesson and every top is a celebration. We’ve kept the environment grounded—no pretension, just passion. Life mein toh problems hoti rehti hai, but here, we find the solutions together. Whether you're visiting for a session or looking to join a community that cheers for your first ascent as loudly as your tenth, you’ll find your crew here. Come ready to sweat, learn, and grow.
