Psicobloc India: The Deep Water Soloing Experience
Experience the adrenaline of climbing a 25-foot wall with nothing but a pool below. From high-stakes speed battles to relaxed climbing jams, join us at India's only deep water soloing festival.
Two climbers go head to head on the Psicobloc wall. You can see the different routes set for the Psico Battle, designed to test both speed and technique.
A young climber shows intense focus as he tackles a difficult section of the wall. Our events are a platform for athletes of all ages to test their skills.
This dynamic move, known as a 'dyno', shows the athleticism required in psicobloc climbing. The climber is airborne, reaching for the next hold.
Here you can see two climbers on the wall at once. One is in a life vest for the Psico Jam, while the other competes without one, showcasing the different ways to participate.

A climber pauses mid route to read the sequence of holds ahead. This mental aspect of route reading is just as important as physical strength in climbing.

About Psicobloc India: The Deep Water Soloing Experience
We set up our 25-foot wall at Varanashi Organic Farms, creating a controlled environment where you can push your limits without the fear of a hard landing. Whether you are aiming for the competitive Psico Battle or just want to try the Psico Jam, we ensure your safety with certified lifeguards and water gear, so you can climb, splash, and reset.
Psicobloc, or deep water soloing, strips climbing back to its purest form. There are no ropes and no harnesses. You simply climb the route, and when you can no longer hold on, you drop into the water. Our festival in Karnataka brings this intense sport to India in a format that welcomes everyone.
We structure the weekend with two distinct approaches. The Psico Battle is for those who want to race against the clock and other climbers. It is fast, intense, and requires focus. If you prefer to go 'aaram se' (easy style), the Psico Jam is your space. You can take your time on the wall, test your technique, and splash into the pool whenever you are ready.
Safety is our priority. We provide life vests for those who want them, and our team of trained lifeguards is on the water at all times. Beyond the wall, the event feels like a community gathering. We organize yoga sessions, water safety clinics, and workshops that help you build confidence on and off the rock. It is about more than just scaling the wall; it is about connecting with other climbers, sharing beta, and learning from the community. Whether you are a pro looking for a challenge or a beginner wanting to experience your first fall, this is the place to do it.
