After almost 4 years living in Thailand I finally had the
opportunity to take a few days off to visit the city of Chiang Mai, and of course to spend
3 full days of Climbing at Crazy Horse Buttress.
Crazy Horse Buttress
is a popular climbing area predominately equipped and developed by CMRCA which is probably the most active climbing
company in the whole Thailand.
Although the crag has many different spots, we only managed
to climb at Crazy Horse which is the main area and offers the larger number of
routes, we climbed at The Horse Shoe
aka The Hoof and on our last day we
eventually managed to climb at The
Furnace which to me is probably the best wall of the entire area.
Generally speaking I would say the experience was great, we
definitely enjoyed the most all those routes featuring slabs, small crimps, and
very vertical walls which are so different from what we normally find in Southern
Thailand.
The result was great, we all got engaged in small personal projects
and we managed to send (almost) all the routes we tried!
A huge thanks goes to CMRCA for their passion and their very
professional contribution to the development of Rock Climbing in Chiang Mai.
I believe we will book a flight back very soon!
