Explore the Vertical

Although a Philosophy major, I was engaged in all sorts of co curricular in college hoping to find my true calling and it was then that I was introduced to climbing 5 years ago now. Initially the idea was to get fit through climbing but with time it grew onto me.
Climbing became a medium for meeting new people from all facts of life, exploring new places and experiencing different highs and lows (literally). I've had prior experience in the industry as a climbing instructor and events manager where I've learnt a thing or two about climbing.
At the box, I will be introducing climbing to you new folks, coaching kids and hosting events.
Excited to have you at the Box!

I recently moved to New Delhi in search of a better opportunity & exposure!
I think I just found one by joining ‘The Boulderbox’ as a Front Desk Manager. I'm trained in hospitality & management and previously I worked as a soft skills trainer.

Although I hail from the hills, I had no climbing experience until I joined ‘The Boulderbox’. I couldn't be happier to start this journey from here. The climbing community, in general, is the most supportive & encouraging folks I have come across! I’m learning & experiencing new things every day and I love it.

I look forward to seeing you at the centre. Cheers! :)

Hi, I am Arenn.
I'm so thrilled after joining as a front desk associate at Boulder box. I have years of work experience as a front desk associate in Aloft hotel - Bangalore. I love to explore new places and travel as it helps me to learn about the diverse cultures and ways of life!

My job role is to welcome you, clear all the doubts & inquiry and build a strong community. I'm happy to help, and i hope you have the best experience visiting our centre.

Born into a family of climbers I have always been surrounded by rope and chalk. I began climbing as a child and was always fascinated by the previous generation of climbers and their stories which inspired me to create my own. Having studied at boarding school in Himachal Pradesh i fell in love with the mountains and spent all my vacations outdoors, climbing and trekking. The rock makes me feel thoughtless and calm. In the search of this peace I've traveled around the country and climbed at the best bouldering spots India has to offer.I have dreams to climb and open boulders all around the world and give back to the community that has helped me become the person I am.

Intrigued by the lifestyle climbing has to offer I chose to join Boulderbox to climb, learn and grow along with this community.

I'm an avid outdoor enthusiast, proficient in rock climbing, surfing and highlining.

Although i trained to be a commercial pilot, I was bitten by the climbing bug in 2013 while preparing for my pilot's licence examinations. A subsequent trip to Hampi the same year reinforced my love for the sport. The flow I found while moving on rock gave me a sense of tranquility, akin to meditation.

Since those formative years, I have found the same love for other sports such as surfing, highlining and skateboarding.

I joined the boulder box team as a climbing coach since it gave me an opportunity to pass on my passion for climbing to those new to the sport.

I started my journey in climbing when i was just 7 years old. As a kid, i was more into athletics than in academics. Rather than being confined in one space, i liked playing, exploring places and trying new things out. And with climbing, comes the perks of exploring places, travelling to different environments and meeting new like minded people. Now climbing has become an important part of my life.

So far, I’ve been able to secure Asian Youth Championship on two occasions. In addition, i have also achieved 9 consecutive National Championships medals. I also am the reigning India’s National speed Champion. My other accomplishments include competing in the 2018 Asian Games and finishing second in India's composite ranking and having ranked 2nd combined rank in India.

My ultimate goal is to become a World Champion in all discipline i.e. Speed, Lead and Bouldering. I know it’s still a long way to go, but it’s all perseverance!
