Celebrating the art of bouldering & friendship
Nestled in the picturesque Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, the village of Rakchham in the northern Indian Himalaya offers an unique and breathtaking bouldering & climbing backdrop experience. This area boasts a diverse range of granite boulders, making it a heaven for both experienced climbers and those who are about to start their journey into the art of bouldering. (quote taken from the Rakchham Book)
In April 2010 I visited Rakchham for the first time. Every year I came back here with my friends and often alone, developing this bouldering & climbing paradise. It has become a second home for me. Now its time to share this love with you!
Together with the RMAC we will show you this bouldering paradise. With more than 560 Problems and 14 sectors, I am sure you will also find your personal „project“.
“We will climb together & show you the trails and the best spots.We want to learn together and have a great respectful time in the mountains.”
