One of the best places to climb outdoors close to Delhi, Dhauj, has been developed by delhi climbers for a long time. Fortunately, Delhi climbs has a small area there and provide a great facility for any level of climber to experience rock climbing in an outdoor environment.
We were a group of five climbers from Kanpur. All of us, except one, knew how to lead and had decent experience on climbing walls. Two of us had climbed outdoors too. So, we were looking for a place to climb and some help regarding where to put the ropes, what routes to climb etc.
We had a great experience with Sandeep and others. They not only showed us (and set up) routes, but also taught some knots and anchors. We camped at the same place and shared meals. Overall, a great outdoor climbing experience.
