Rakchham Climbing Company

Go vertical.

Technical mountain training and climbing experiences from the Sangla–Rakchham valley.

Rakchham Climbing Company

RCC operates under THT as our specialised climbing and mountaineering wing.

The granite above Sangla and the boulder fields around Rakchham are our training ground and our workplace. We teach on them, we climb on them, and we are careful about how much traffic we put on them.

02Safety philosophy

Nobody is impressedby an accident.

The rope is the last line, not the first

Movement, judgement and route choice come before protection. Gear covers mistakes; it does not replace skill.

Ratios we can actually hold

Instructor-to-climber numbers are set by the terrain and the group, not by how many places we would like to sell.

Turn-around is not failure

Weather, rockfall, daylight and how the group is actually moving all outrank the summit.

Equipment has a lifespan

Ropes, hardware and soft goods are logged, inspected and retired on schedule.
