Girls outnumber boys, more enthusiastic at rock climbing camp in J-K

Girls were more enthusiastic and outnumbered boys at a rock climbing training camp organised in the Valley to promote fitness and rejuvenate the minds of participants.

The Kashmir Mountaineering Association of Jammu and Kashmir has organised the event in collaboration with the department of tourism at the artificial rock climbing wall station Nowgam village in Anantnag district.

"Such activities are needful so that they become strong enough to deal with disasters.

Girls are coming forwards.

This is a good source of training and physical fitness," said Reyaz Ahmad, coach-cum-instructor.

Injeela Amin a trainee said, "Due to unrest, sports activities were affected in the Valley, especially for girls.

Normally, only a few girls participate in sports.

We are thankful to the sports and tourism departments for providing us a chance.

We request the authorities to keep providing such opportunities."
