Bouldering in Zanskar, India 2009/2010

The best thing to do in India during the summer months is to get as HIGH as possible.I had this in my mind while going up and up and up and then after a tip from a local trekking guide found an area of quality bouldering which is at 4500 meters altitude so nice and cool. This is a fantastic place to go climbing up the wild valleys of an uninhabitable part of Zanskar. Luckily its off the main trekking line so the only people I met in the 2 months up there were crusty Indian shepherds who were very friendly. If you want to climb quality boulders in Zanskar area of Ladakh check this place. Get the exact directions and info from Pil at jungliatpil@yahoo.com
