Behind the Scenes: The Real Climbing Festival Vibe
It’s not just about the climb; it’s about the community, the coffee, and the chaos before the main event. Here’s a peek into the raw energy that powers our festivals.
This video shows a little bit of everything: our team setting up the event, participants enjoying the water, and the incredible fire performance at night. It's a true festival experience.

About this collection
You will notice our setup isn't just about the wall; it’s about the safety briefing, the hydration stations, and the physio recovery zones we integrate into every Psicobloc festival. While the competition is fierce, the behind-the-scenes reality is surprisingly calm—we make sure there’s always a corner for yoga, a spot for fresh coffee, and plenty of 'aaram se' (take it easy) moments to balance out the adrenaline of the climb.
From Rope to Rescue
Building a climbing event from scratch is a massive undertaking. Whether it's our flagship Psicobloc India deep water soloing carnival at Varanashi Farms or a quick community meet-up in a Bangalore gym, the goal remains the same: create a space where science meets stoke. We aren't just climbers; we are a community of rescuers, teachers, and enthusiasts.
The Anatomy of Our Events
What happens when the cameras turn off? A lot of work, and a lot of connection.
- Safety First: We integrate professional water safety clinics and physio recovery zones. If you are pushing your limits on our 25-foot wall, we want you to know you are supported.
- The Community Vibe: Events aren't just for pros. We run workshops that cater to all skill levels, ensuring that beginners and experts share the same space, the same crash pads, and the same encouragement.
- Beyond Climbing: We host morning yoga, slacklining, and flow arts to keep the festival energy high. It is a holistic experience meant to keep the 'bouldering buzz' alive long after the event ends.
Why We Do It
For us, it's never about who wins or loses on the scoreboard. It is about the energy of people pushing their limits and cheering each other on. By fostering this environment, we’ve raised funds for crag development in the Himalayas and supported our top athletes. When you join a Let's Play Climbing event, you are contributing to a growing ecosystem of climbers, animal rescuers, and adventure seekers in India.
Lets Play Climbing
We are Let's Play Climbing, a bunch of folks who started by chasing the bouldering buzz and ended up building a community. We’re here to make climbing accessible, fun, and real, whether you're hanging off a wall or just cheering from the sidelines.
