Super fun traverse on this huge sliced off piece of rock! Starting on one corner, traverse all the way around and finishing by manteling on the diagonally opposite corner. My friend Pirmin taught me a new move; a toe and heel hook combination (not shown on my pictures but you can sort of see a bit on the last pictures of him - he did it the nicest, smoothest and most efficiently!). So good!! It felt secure and definitely saved a lot of energy along the final edge! 😃 #bouldering #boulder #boulderup #climbing #climber #climbers #climbon #climbwithindia #hampi #boulderinghampi #southindia #travelindia #climbingdestinations #girlswhoclimb
