About Climbing Workshops and Outdoor Camps
It’s not just about climbing harder or higher, it’s about the kind of person you become with every move. For us, the real joy is seeing folks push themselves, connect with others, and feel genuinely part of something bigger than just an outdoor camp.
What We Offer
- Real rock, real vibes. We run sport climbing workshops in Badami (think ropes, knots, anchors - the full basics), beginner bouldering camps in Hampi where everything’s sorted for you, single-day climbs near Bangalore if you just want a quick taste, and even guided Himalayan bouldering trips for those chasing next-level adventure.
- Our events aren’t just for pros. If you’re a total newbie, we’ll guide you aaram se (no stress). If you’re somewhere in the middle, our intensive bootcamps will push your technique, endurance, and mental game.
What To Expect
- We bring the essential gear (ropes, helmets, crash pads, chalk). You handle your travel and food for most multi-day trips, but some (like Hampi) are all-inclusive. Need climbing shoes? Usually can rent those on site.
- Open, no-judgement space - always. We do women-only climbing sessions and fundraising climbs too, so the community’s always buzzing.
You’ll find all kinds here: people who want to learn, people who just want to hang, and others who simply love being outside with a good crew. That’s our scene.

My Story
Hey, we’re Let's Play Climbing. Started off just chasing that bouldering buzz, now it’s a full-blown community. We’ve run wild at Psicobloc India, splashed into deep water soloing, camped in Hampi, and climbed in Badami—always with new friends and old rocks. Somewhere along the way, climbing ropes turned into rescue ropes. Now, we train SDRF and Fire Dept folks in tactical animal rescue. For us, it’s all about climbing, saving lives (animal, tree, human), and keeping the vibe real.
My Work
