Rockclimbing in Krabi!











I had the greatest day yesterday!! I went outdoor rock climbing for the first time in Krabi (Thailand) and it was amazing! The mountains are gorgeous and the views when you're hanging onto the rock for dear life 30 metres above were incredible. The routes we did were equivalent of 5.8 to 5.11 at home...that 5.11 though was killer, but i got to the top and it felt amazing when I did. We also hiked in a cave climbing up some bamboo ladders in some parts and holding tight to ropes where it was steep to arrive at the most gorgeous view on the other side of the mountain. Then we abseiled down (leaning back at the top of a mountain and using the rope to lower yourself even though you know your secured is kinda scary!) and continued to do a few more challenging climbs in the afternoon.

Thanks A and Ali from Thai'd Up, you 2 were the best instructors ever! Thank you!!
