Rock climbing is alive and well in the North Caucasus. In an environment in which a few sports are exalted above all others, rock climbing has begun to offer an alternative activity for all ages. Teddy shares today about his involvement with On Sight rock climbing gym and community center in Nalchik, the capital of the North Caucasus Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. They not only offer a range of climbing experiences from novice to expert, but they have an eye to help the community at large through holistic engagement ranging from business development to education to competitions. You may not consider yourself an avid climber (or you may!) but either way we think Teddy will inspire you to add Nalchik to you itinerary on your next visit to the Caucasus.
