Krabi

Krabi


Rock Climbing in Krabi, Thailand was something I had been looking forward to the entire trip. It was far cooler than I had expected. We did a bunch of bouldering, I learned how to do sport climbing, including leading, we went deep water soloing with three other guys, and we explored a bunch of different walls. Our guesthouse on Railay Beach was comfortable, inexpensive, and had a restaurant with awesome food. The falling fruit was a hazard, though. One landed on my plate and scared the bejeezus out of me. The weather was excellent except for a bit of rain in the afternoon on the third day. The heat was intense, but we climbed in the shade when we could, and the sea was always close by. Scott and I both wished we could have stayed a few more weeks, as we were just starting to feel like we were getting the hang of climbing on limestone on our last day there. I'll post some more stories of our experiences there when I find some time to later. I have uploaded photos taken by both me and Scott, so you can see many of our various climbs. You will probably notice that each is very different from the others. The variety and unique formations made the climbing there continually interesting.
