What we know

Huge wall at Harishchandragad fort. Its south face was first climbed in December 1985 by a team led by Vasant Limaye, over 17 days; the second ascent came only in January 2014.

This is a smaller area. It has few climbs or little written down. Do not expect a guide, pad rental or a place to stay for climbers. Go with someone who knows the place, and check access before you travel.
