Can climbing truly heal? In this episode with Gaurav 'Gujju' Jagadish, that is the central question. Gujju opens up about a deeply traumatic life event - his wife Kala's suicide - and how climbing helped him cope.   

As a climber, Gujju brings a LOT to the table - he's an incredibly passionate boulderer; an example of someone around whom communities build themselves. He's been responsible for kickstarting bouldering activity in newer areas around Bangalore. He's also the founder of Bangalore's newest bouldering gym, Let's Play Climbing. Very importantly, he sees beauty in climbing in a deeper, redemptive way that has repeatedly been informed by his life's trajectory.
