I have been rock climbing for almost 30 years now. I was 12 years old when I was introduced to the sport, in 1984, but began to take it more seriously when I was 14. I was particularly happy when I achieved my hardest climb, a '7c+ French Grade' at Malham Cove, a limestone formation in Yorkshire, England. Another memorable moment for me was getting the opportunity to take part in the World Cup of Sport Climbing in October 1991, in Japan. Besides participating in events, I have also been coach to the Indian national sport-climbing team. My favourite destination for rock climbing is Krabi in south Thailand; in India, I enjoy climbing in Savandurga, near Bangalore. Outside of India, I have climbed in the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, USA - mainly on the east coast - Japan and Thailand. When I was very active, I would climb at least three times every week. However these days, I am not as regular as I used to be. Instead, I'm more serious about pursuing other adventure activities, mainly triathlon - I completed the Ironman Triathlon in 2011 - and trail running .
