Benefits of Wall Climbing.

Wall climbing sport is at an infant stage in Bangalore. People know about it but are not very well aware of the benefits that they can acquire. Well just to break it down...... one of the most important benefit is the effect on your cardiovascular health. Research has shown that to keep your Cardiovascular system healthy, one must participate in any kind of sport that stresses the heart, resulting in increased heart rate and what better way to have an intense start than wall climbing. This will reduce the chances of diseases like shortness of breath, heart attacks etc. Having said that let us see what are the other advantages of this particular sport- 

1. Full body workout- You may not believe it but there are very few sports that can actually compete with how strenuous wall climbing is on human body. For a beginner climbing wall just for 3 minutes can be exhausting enough. Therefore practicing this will give you a full body workout, keeping you in shape that you would want. You can forget about running for 5 miles, just climb a wall for 30 minutes daily and see the result.   
   
2. Thrilling experience- There is nothing more frightening than hanging on a cliff tied on a rope. This ultimate experience will teach you to conquer your deepest fear and will make you a strong person. It will teach you that when you are determined to do something then you can do it no matter what. It will give you sense of accomplishment when you finally make it to the top of the wall.  
   
3. Team Spirit- Wall climbing is a team activity. You will be amazed how you can make friends just by climbing walls. You will have to work in team and make sure that everyone is safe. There will be people guarding you with their life. It's a total team spirit and an experience worth treasuring.
   
4. Improves concentration- This helps in improving concentration as while you are up there struggling for your life, all you can think of is "how to make it to the top" and the senses of not giving up. It makes you a survivor. 
   
5. Fun Activity- Last but not the least. It is just another fun activity for people who like adventure in life and like the outdoors. Another kind of a weekend getaway with your friends or family. Some even call it a way of relaxing.

What is it all about? 

Well exactly the reason we sat with the founder of the company Mrs. Astha Chaturvedi to understand what the company is all about?

(Hello Astha. How are you doing today?)

I am very well thank you. I am feeling very motivated and excited for our very first blog post. 

(Can you tell us something about Wall Climbing?)

Sure. It is just like another form of  rock climbing but to put it in a more professional way-Wall climbing or "sport climbing" as the sport is popularly known as is scaling of a man made structure that simulates real mountain climbing experience for the user.

The sport evolved from classic mountaineering to take away the barrier of mountaineering. In sport climbing the climber is secured to a belayer on the ground at all times during the climb- inducing the risk of injury to almost zero.

(Why did you choose this sport to pursue?)

In India the biggest barrier to adventure is safety and trust-we want people to experience the fun, the joy and the high of adventure in the safest manner. The idea is to enhance your adventure "gene". Sport climbing cuts through 2 biggest barriers:

1. Safety/Trust
2. Lack of time-to reach adventure closer to you.

We help in setting up of climbing walls as close to you as possible. Our process and the enforcement of processes makes it completely safe.

(Services that you offer?)

1. We offer one time climbing sessions- these are small sessions where you put in as much time you have during the day and get introduced to climbing.
2. Climbing training- These are courses designed for you to make climbing a part of your fitness regime.
3. Group climbing- This is typically a product where you come and enjoy climbing as a group. Be it a team outing or just for a great evening out with friends- this is the product for you.
