Who is the Rock Climbing "Monkey King" of India?
His name is Jyoti Raju, 27 (?) years old, from Karnataka.
Jyoti began climbing with thoughts of suicide but instead of jumping from a cliff, decided to climb it.
His skills and fearlessness persist to this day where he entertains crowds with his bouldering / free solo climbing exhibitions on walls of the tenth century Chitradurga Fort.
Are humans built to climb?
Greg Downey at NeuroAnthropology has some cool insights.
Jyothi is still climbing as he launches his acting carreer, and has made headlines as recently September 2013, when he scaled the clock tower at Moorusavir Math.
