Samsara Is Nirvana | Ft. Kumar Gaurav, Madhu CR | 4Play 4playmedia 2020-08-29 | In 2007 a multinational group of climbers - Giovanni Quirici, Guy Scherrer, Phillip Chabloz, Claude Chardonners and Elie Chevieux established a first ascent of Samsara is Nirvana. A 750 metre tall limestone wall, at over 4000m elevation in the remote Kharnak gorges of Ladakh. For a decade since then multiple teams have tried and failed at ascending the wall. One of India's leading sport climbers Kumar Gaurav made an attempt, and fell from one of the top pitches. Narrowly missing death and destroying his wrist in the bargain. After a complex rescue, the doctor's pronounced that Kumar's career may come to an absolute halt. One can only guess how a wrist is critical to climbing in the vertical terrain. Kumar however soldiered on. After a year of recuperation, Kumar returns to the base confident and with an equally psyched partner in Madhu CR. And the rest is history.Watch one of the most awaited adventure movies to come out of India, a daring feat in Indian mountaineering, taking on one of the hardest climb in India by the foundational crop of big wall climbers in this part of the world.

Friendship Peak (5289 M) Speed Record 2020 | 4Play Presents: Its Over | Featuring: Kieren DSouza 4playmedia 2020-06-23 | Kieren D’Souza is an Indian ultramarathon runner and endurance athlete. In 2016, he became the first and, as of June 2020, the only Indian to qualify for and finish the Spartathlon, a 246 kilometre footrace from Athens to Sparta held annually in Greece. Kieren, then aged 23, completed the race in 33 hours, 2 minutes and 25 seconds.In the June of 2020, Kieren undertook to complete a training project he had been conceptualising for 6 years. Merging his ambitions for alpine style mountaineering with ultra running, Kieren ran upto the summit of Mt. Friendship, a 5289m high Himalayan Summit near the town of Manali in Himachal Pradesh. A popular peak among trekkers and mountaineers of all skill levels, Mt. Friendship is usually summitted over 3-5 days. That too from the trail head at Dhundi. However, in a bid to establish a game changing precedent for India as well as test his own skill levels, Kieren ran to the peak from the heart of Manali town and back in a total of 11h 45m and 50sec. Even making a 15 minute stop at the summit to conduct an instagram live session with the broader running community.The record setting feat's GPS details can be accessed on Kieren's Strava handle: strava.com/athletes/12516308Follow Kieren DSouza on instagram: instagram.com/kierendsouzaContribute: https://www.Patreon.com/4play________________________________________________________________For more stories from the outdoors, and extreme and adventure sports, SUBSCRIBE!Also, look us up on:Website: https://www.4Play.inFacebook: facebook.com/4PlayIndiaInstagram: instagram.com/4play.in
First In India: Mt. Friendship Peak (5289 Mtr) 2020 Speed Record | Kieren DSouza | 4Play 4playmedia 2020-06-20 | "On a crisp early morning I headed off from an empty mall road in Manali. The goal was pretty straight forward, run/climb up to Friendship Peak. I passed old manali, then a couple of sleepy villages before reaching Solang and then Dhundi. This is where the actual trek to Friendship Peak begins. On the trail I covered ground fairly quickly and smoothly. Reaching the base of the the lady leg ridge. A slow long ascent later I was on the top and ready to head to the peak in the snow, that started fairly early on. Took my first, mostly forced break because I was extremely cold. Reason being I had no warm layers on, just a thin waterproof jacket, shirt and shorts. Aditya and Mohit helped me get my boots and crampons, pants and an extra jacket on. My idea of wanting to reach the peak in a complete self supported way could no longer happen. But I cannot say I did not welcome the help, I really needed it. The three of us headed up together. Mohit slowed down but Aditya Bikram Pande and I continued to the summit. Reminded me of old times when we used to go on runs together before Pande took to climbing even more dedicatedly. We weren't fast but steady. I had to stop to take a breather at every 25 odd steps (something not particularly unknown to anyone who attempts climbing a peak). In about 3.5 hrs from lady leg, we were on the summit, enjoying the view, shooting videos. It was cool that my first attempt on Friendship was with Aditya in Jan 2018. We had planned a similar non stop approach to the peak from Manali, albeit in the winters under the coldest conditions either of us have every experienced, no experience, no proper gear and first time doing something of this sort led to an unsuccessful attempt. Though leaving us with a rich experience. And now here we were, the two of us sitting and chatting on top. At this point, I was half way through the project.15 mins later we headed down. It was a fairly steep descent, not having an ice axe on me, I had to be a little cautious. As I descend, I started to feel really weak and low on energy, dehydrated. Plus I think the altitude affected me a bit. Dragging myself, I got back to the col where I had left my stuff earlier, changed into my trail shoes, had 2 gels, and started racing down. I left my stuff for Mohit and Pande to bring back. Back at the lady leg ridge, I changed in to my running shorts and downed warm soup Sukrit had kept for me. Quick bye to all the guys on the walkie and rushed down as finishing below 12hr mark was a possibility. The last hour from Solang was probably the toughest! I was zapped out of energy and was just about running. None the less made it in 11hr45min50sec to the mall only to meet friends who stood there to cheer for me.This is what has been playing in my head for a few years now. Happy to share it pretty much turned out the same way.Stats for the geeks (record on my watch)Date: 16th June 2020Distance : 53.40kmElevation gain : 3657Time : 11hr45min50secHighest Point : 5289mNutrition - 7 Gels (Unived), 2 Bars, few sips of water and 2 cups soup.I am usually dreaming up the next goal even before i have finished the current one. So as I am writing this, my mind is busy racing and working out details on what's coming next."-- Kieren D'SouzaFollow him on instagram: instagram.com/kierendsouzaContribute: https://www.Patreon.com/4play________________________________________________________________For more stories from the outdoors, and extreme and adventure sports, SUBSCRIBE!Also, look us up on:Website: https://www.4Play.inFacebook: facebook.com/4PlayIndiaInstagram: instagram.com/4play.in

Is This The Last Chance? 4playmedia 2020-04-22 | We humans are a funny speciesDon't you think?Putting fishes into tanksand cutting trees into pieces.We exploit the placewe call our homeuntil we realize that all we lovewithin a blink of an eye, can be gone.We put our perspective into things,build the so called 'zoos'put animals into cagesand make them dance in circus rings.But this pandemic has shown usthat this is no longer fun,finally we are locked inand maybe, maybe it's our turn!Rivers are becoming clean,Pollution levels are getting low,nature is giving us a chanceunlike us, all selfish and mean.But we know, this is just temporary right?Because as soon as this is overwe will go backto our daily fight.Factories will work day and night,more resources will be used outrightand all those positive changeswill be out, out of our sight.Okay, let's give this a thought.When all of this gets overWe will still have a choice.Don't we?To go back to the same mistakes of the pastor just make better decisionsso we don't have to askthat how long will our future last.The planet will heal itself and carry on,And before we know, we'll be long gone.We humans are a funny species indeed.But its no fun and games anymore at all.So I must end the rhyme here.This...this is your wake up call._________________________________________________________#RealHeroesRealActionRealJuice#AdventureSportsInIndia__________________________________________________________For more stories from the outdoors, and extreme and adventure sports, SUBSCRIBE!Also, look us up on:Website: https://www.4Play.inFacebook: facebook.com/4PlayIndiaInstagram: instagram.com/4play.in
