Actor Anupam Kher Overcomes Doubt on 35‑Foot Climb at Age 71

Anupam Kher, travelling abroad, faced a 35‑foot vertical wall inside a Raleigh mall in North Carolina. He posted a short video noting that most climbers stalled before the top, which triggered his own hesitation. His instructor’s pep talk sparked a decision to attempt the climb. Kher explained that each step required him to pull up with hands and feet while the safety belt offered limited reassurance. The experience evoked memories of a boy who once trekked Shimla’s hills. Reaching the pinnacle at 71, he felt a deep sense of pride and called the feat a victory of the human will.
