Earlier, Shivani Charak was selected in the Indian team and deputed to three European countries for a 4 weeks specialized training on world class climbing walls in Switzerland, Slovenia and Italy.
It is a unique distinction and honour for J&K that 16 years old Shivani and 17 years old Mrityunjay are the youngest sport climbers in the Indian team for the Bouldering World Cup. Besides, it is the first time that 2 J&K sport climbers have been selected in the Indian team for an International sport climbing competition.
