Climbing in Phuket: First Climbing Session

On Saturday 16^th FEB I have proudly ran the first Phuket Climbing Session.

Considering that at this stage it would be too difficult to follow up too many beginner and considering that I still have a limited number of climbing shoes, I could not invite too many people therefore we were only in 4: 3 strong and motivated beautiful girls, and myself.

As always I gave them a short introduction about the philosophy of climbing, about the big difference between indoor and outdoor climbing and most important, the concept of movement, which in such a small climbing wall is definitely essential!

The result was impressive! I think there is some potential here….enjoy this short video footage and join our next session.

Climbing in Phuket: The wall is ready...

As everybody knows, Southern Thailand is surrounded by rock!

Krabi, Ao Nang, Tonsai, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Phi Phi are definitely rock climbing paradises well known all over the planet.

However if you you want to climb during the week after working hours and you live in Phuket, you'd better find a solution because there are no climbing walls at the horizon...

Considering I am exactly in the situation described above, the only solution I had was to find my own way and therefore...I built my own boulder wall!

I developed the idea of building a small boulder wall inspired by the experience of my good friend Jean Verly whom from a dusty climbing room in his home in Hanoi ended up setting up and managing the first Climbing Gym in Vietnam.

I am not that ambitious, however I am happy that I made my small dream come true and I am glad to invite you to contact me if you fancy share some movements with me!
