Tuhin Satarkar

China marks stop #4 of Marmot's Lead Now Tour, a global tour to inspire people through rock climbing and raise $10,000 a month for twelve different non-profit organizations. Paige Claassen and 2 of India’s strongest climbers – Tuhin Satarkar and Sandeep Kumar Maity – navigate not only heat but the cultural barriers of a country deeply rooted in tradition. In a culture where women are expected to keep the home, dress conservatively, and live under the guidance of men, a woman climbing Ganesh (5.14a/8b+) is an unexpected event.

Kilian Fischhuber meets his Friend Tuhin Satarkar, a young Indian talent in India and repeats 'Ganesh' a world class route at the cave-temple-city Badami and Indias hardest route to date. Now the both are trying to find an even harder line at the high-quality sandstone cliffs around the city.
