At some point in time, we all pause and think about how physical activity and the adventurous streak has taken a hit owing to our hectic lifestyles. Most of us complain about the lack of activities to pursue over weekend. Well, what if we tell you that you can actually pursue rock-climbing at the heart of the city in an indoor facility. Fit Rock Arena should be your go-to place if you are looking out for doing something remotely adventurous over weekends.

Started by duo Shyamsundar Manoharan and Sathya Narayan Prakash, this is the second branch of the facility that already has a centre at Pallikarnai. Prior to setting up this branch, they used to regularly organize events for a basic introduction and a first-hand experience of rock climbing at a 60 feet high natural rock face at Malaipattu, Manimangalam which is the closest possible climbing site in Chennai.

At the indoor arena, one can find a natural rock face with predominantly big holds for both hand and feet, which doesn’t need a great deal of fitness to climb. The 1,000 sq feet climbing arena has been inspired by popular TV series Game of Thrones. There are about 50 to 60 routes to reach the top and the arena has five to six trainers to guide you through the climbing. The thick floor mats ensure that you don’t get hurt even if you fall down.

So, if you are feeling adventurous this weekend, you know where to head to!
