Festival in Delhi
Moving on from Jaipur, we drove for a day to reach the capital of India, Delhi. Delhi is the busiest city I’ve ever been in by far – always chaos, always something going on.
A couple days I stepped outside the hotel to find some sort of Hindu parade coming down the street of the bazaar where we are in Pahar Ganj. I’m not really sure what it was about, but it was pretty interesting to watch.
We also got out for some climbing yesterday, just outside of Delhi at Dhauj rocks (near Faridabad). It was really nice rock, with loads of trad routes between 10 and 30 meters tall. I bagged my first too legitimate trad leads, which was really fun. Without a guidebook I can’t say for sure what grade they were, but I would guess around French 4 or in American grading 5.6 – easy but good for starting to lead.
Anyhow, now I’m in Manali, waiting for the rest of the group to catch up and relaxing in the cool mountain air!
