About

We’re a bunch of climbers who believe it’s all about the people, not just the rocks. Our crew comes together for weekend climbing meetups around Bangalore and one big annual event - the Ramanagara Romp. The vibe is always friendly, aale aale! (Go for it!), whether you’re a pro or just lacing up for the first time.

The Big Festival Energy

  • Ramanagara Romp is our outdoor climbing festival near Bangalore. It’s a multi-day scene every December, with routes for all levels, epic community challenges, and late-night stargazing if the skies are clear. Loads of climbers from all over join in, and the energy is infectious. If you’re after social climbing experiences and want to meet folks who get the psych, this is it.

Regular Group Climbs

  • Almost every weekend, we hit local crags like Varlakonda or Talai Betta. It’s chill but organized, perfect for making friends and getting cheered on. People share food, tips, and stories, and you’ll hear a mix of Kannada and English flying around.

What Matters Most

  • Safety is a big deal for us, always. We’re led by experienced climbers who keep an eye out, so everyone feels secure.
  • We’re all about inclusive climbing gatherings. Kids, grown-ups, first-timers, old-hands, everyone’s welcome. We’ve had all-women days and plenty of beginners in the mix.

It’s more than climbing - it’s building a community you can trust and memories you won’t forget.

My Story

We’re Bangalore Climbing Initiatives, just folks who got totally hooked on the rocks around here. Started with a few workshops, now it’s a wild mix—kids, trekkers, total newbies, even people who just wandered in. It’s not only about climbing, but about yelling 'Aale aale!' (Go for it!) and having a big goofy family cheering you on. Climbing’s our happy place, and honestly, we just want more people to find theirs with us.

My Work

Workshops & Events for All - We run outdoor climbing workshops, from beginner rock climbing in Bangalore to advanced anchoring and even rock-rescue skills competition.

Everyone’s Welcome - Never climbed? Only tried gyms? Doesn’t matter. If you’re curious or want a real community, you’ll fit right in.

It’s a Family Vibe - Expect laughter, encouragement, and stories. At our community climbing festivals, you’ll leave with new friends, not just chalky hands.

Serious About Safety - Our instructors are certified, our gear is top-notch, and we drill the basics like top-rope belaying so you’re safe on real rock.

Learn the Essentials - Get hands-on with safety commands, knots, and movement. Our outdoor climbing workshops cover everything for your first real climb.
