Nepal’s first indoor climbing wall is ready to take in climbers !

It wasn't mere coincidence that Paresh Krishna Shrestha decided to build an indoor climbing wall in his house in Patan. The 24-year-old, who also helps out with his parent's trekking agency, has always been attracted to adventure sports. As a former regular at the Pasang Lhamu Mountaineering Foundation's artificial climbing wall, he knows the benefits of the sport and is putting his money where his heart is.

Paresh hopes his wall, which he has spent the last six months completing with Rs 500,000 from his own pocket, will give children and youngsters a quick start at what could¬—and should—become Nepal's premier sporting attraction. "There is plenty of opportunity in Nepal for adventure sports, and Bouldering helps strengthen character and determination."

Project Climb, as Paresh likes to call it, includes climbing walls in four rooms of his house in Patan. The walls are made from recycled wooden containers, while the grips are imported from Singapore. Each wall is approximately eight feet in height and 12 in length. Some are straight up, while others have overhangs. No safety harnesses are needed here, as none of the walls are very high and even if one does fall, there are layers of thick mattresses on the ground below cushion you. "The walls may look amateurish to professional climbers but the intention is to get young kids interested in climbing, and they can start here," says Paresh, who is organising a ten-day camp this month. Though he intends the walls to be used by locals, even professional climbers like Majid Shirani (pictured) from Iran have given it a try.

He says, "Climbing is so addictive because it constantly tests your willpower."
