CLIMB ON ..... goes the  call
and here we are hanging on a cliff  looking for that next hold ...
Over the Years Iquest Has evolved as one of the Finest Adventure Based organizations and we have been approached by a lot of climbing enthusiasts from across various age group, working environment  etc .
keeping in view that a specialized course that adheres to international standards cannot be designed overnight  like a usual absailing ( rappelling ) session  not many ornagizations venture into this .

For Iquest we had the support of outdoor experts like Kuttappa ( Kuttss) , Pranesh ( Prani)  and Gaurav ( Gujju)  which laid the initial foundation to design a taught course in Basic Rock climbing ...

With a strong emphasis on quality and delivering  skills and inspiration for budding outdoor enthusiasts , we filled the course  with a range of elements in our Syllabus .

The second edition of the 'Iquest Basic Rock Climbing Course ' was conducted during the month of Niovember 2012.

Coaching is an art and at Iquest we believe only experts can do it better
we love teaching  and  do it in a more flexible manner  , and the students  are majorly  benifitted by this approach
