“Way for building your performance on climbing a bonus!”
Rock climbing as a sport started in the United Kingdom in the 60’s. As the sport grew, climbers found it difficult to get a way from work and pursue climbing in the hills on a regular basis. Climbing enthusiasts found it difficult to go far away from the cities after work. Therefore, they improvised methods and attempted the steep corners of the buildings to simulate the rock climbing.
Rock climbing is not very different from mountaineering except that instead of snow there are rocks involved in this adventure sport. Rock climbing's most basic features include climbing a rock face, using only hands, feet and a safety rope.
Natural Rock here in Kathmandu offers for those who would like to climb some of the Nepal’s introductory Ice Peak; recommended for any one who love such climb. The main objectives of 2-day rock climbing course is to provide pre-climbing experience for our climbing participants although they are experienced which is compulsory course for every one who is joining our expedition.
