Everyone knows Hampi, India's and maybe the world's biggest bouldering venue, but only a few know a hidden bouldering paradise in a deep valley in the Indian Himalayas. In the state of Himachal Pradesh there is a place at an elevation of 3800m/13000f called Chotta dhara. There lives, as the myth goes, a caveman that can be seen wandering around the boulders carrying......a crashpad? Ooops! This is Phil an Englishman that has discovered the area and opened most of the problems there.
