Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is an activity in which participants climb up down or across natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The goal is to reach the summit of a formation or the endpoint of a usually pre-defined route without falling. Due to the length and extended endurance required and because accidents are more likely to happen on the descent than the ascent rock climbers do not usually climb back down the route.

Rock Climbing has always been famous adventure sports in Sikkim. It’s one of the interesting outdoor activities that are extremely admired by tourists. This is another challenging sport for the one who love adventure. It includes climbing a natural rock, with the sole goal of reaching its peak point by using a determined route. It’s a kind of mentally and physically demanding sport. One can check their intensity, balance, legerity and endurance along with his/her mental ascendency.
