Jyoti Raju is an Indian free solo climber, born in the State of Karnataka. He earned himself the title Monkey Man by climbing the tall stone structures and walls at the historically famous Chitradurga Fort, Karnataka,[1] without the help of ropes with a technique he learned from monkeys. He does not climb for sports, but to entertain the visitors to the fort.[2][3][4]
