Adventure

About Us

Adventure Sports Club, IIT Kanpur is the forum for adventure enthusiasts, trekkers, climbers and armchair mountaineers in the student community.

We work to develop the spirit of adventure in IITians. Our aims are to make the best of the absolutely flat damn terrain around Kanpur, and the measly vacations we get in a year, while having the greatest fun possible.

While our stock activities are trekking, rock climbing and mountain biking, we have also organized skiing and river rafting sporadically. Feel free to explore our photo gallery, and drop us a line in case of any suggestions/questions...

What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?

According to George Mallory, "It is no use." Climbing Everest offers no tangible gains—no gold, silver, gems, coal, or land for cultivation. However, it fulfills something deeper within us, a response to the challenge of the mountain and a representation of life's eternal struggle upwards.

Is there any scientific or practical benefit to climbing Everest?

While there might be some understanding gained about the human body at high altitudes, and this knowledge may benefit fields like aviation, the primary purpose of climbing is not utilitarian. It is about embracing the sheer joy and challenge of the adventure.

What is the ultimate conquest in mountaineering?

As Sir Edmund Hillary said, "It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves." The journey is as much an internal challenge as it is an external one, leading to personal growth and self-discovery.
