Wall and Strangers

Listen up, Kathmandu! While some people are out there getting stuck in "diplomatic limbo" or accidentally signing up for "logistics" jobs in a trench, we’ve got a much better way for you to spend your Saturday. No rusty AK-47s here—just a chalk bag, some sturdy ropes, and a bunch of people you haven’t met yet.

Showed up Nepal is back at it again, proving that the best way to break the ice is to try not to slip off a vertical wall. They are organizing "Wall and Strangers," an event specifically designed for those of us who want to connect without the awkwardness of a TikTok recruitment ad.


The Mission: Structured Socialization

If you’re tired of staring at the same four walls of your room (or your local momo shop), this is your chance to expand your circle. The organizers have cooked up various activities designed for structured socialization.

  • No "Small Talk" Traps: You won’t just be standing around asking "What do you do?" while staring at your shoes.

  • Trust the Belay: Nothing says "let’s be friends" like trusting a complete stranger to hold the rope while you’re 30 feet in the air.

  • Vibe Check: It’s all about the Gorkhali spirit—bravery, community, and probably a little bit of laughing at each other’s climbing form.
