Ever wanted to swap the gym wall for real granite? Join our day-long intro workshops near Bangalore. We handle the technical gear, the safety, and the community cheering—you just show up ready to climb.

Our 50th Intro to Rock Climbing Workshop was a huge milestone for us. It represents fifty times we've shared our love for real rock, watching nerves turn into confidence and strangers become a tight-knit crew.

Welcome to the family. At our 48th workshop, we saw 18 new climbers discover the thrill of the outdoors. The day was filled with laughter, cheers, and the amazing feeling of conquering a challenge you didn't think was possible.

Another weekend, another group of amazing individuals welcomed into the world of outdoor climbing. Our 47th workshop was all about turning hesitation into determination and building a community on the rock.

Our 46th Intro Workshop was a special one, with climbers of all ages, including a veteran who attended his first workshop in 1979. It’s a testament to the lifelong passion for climbing that we love to foster.

The 45th Intro Workshop was another day of pure joy. We believe in sharing our passion with a focus on safety and fun, creating new stewards for the outdoors with every person we introduce to the sport.

We even take our workshops indoors. Our 44th Intro to Climbing workshop, hosted at Tenzee, was a great way to teach the fundamentals in a different setting, proving that the BCI community spirit thrives anywhere.

"Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would be rock climbing." This is a participant's story from our all-women-led workshop, a day that turned self-doubt into pure confidence and empowerment.

About Your First Climb: Beginner Workshops

You do not need previous experience, just a pair of comfortable clothes and a good pair of socks. We take care of everything else—from providing high-quality climbing shoes, helmets, and harnesses to teaching you the essentials of knot-tying and belay safety. Our workshops are held at natural granite crags like Ramanagara, running from 7 AM to 6 PM, with a small group setting of 1:4 or 1:5, ensuring you get plenty of hands-on time on the rock.
