Rock climbing is becoming popular in India now and many mountaineering
clubs in the country are imparting training to the novice. Since it is a part of
any expedition, the mountain climbing enthusiasts have to learn and practice this
game before one can think of joining the expedition. Himachal Pradesh being a hilly
state has the best rocks and rock climbing areas spread all over the state. The
best thing is the availability of all rock features like - slabs, chimneys, walls
and overhangs at almost all the places.
