First Ascent
Ranga Vudukuru, a climber based in Hyderabad, took me to Orvakal Rock Garden for the first time. He suggested that I lead up the long vertical crack. I found the start to be difficult, probably a 5.8 move. Since it was my first lead climb in India, to be safe, I chose to start at the short vertical crack to the right. I used two medium-sized cams and one nut for this route.
