If anybody talks about climbing in Southern Thailand, the
mind immediately goes to the climbing meccas of Tonsai and Railay!
Nevertheless, this time I went out just to discover the new crag called Spirit Mountain located in Ao Nang on Chong Plee district, only 5 minutes driving from Ao Nang downtown
and 20 minutes from Krabi.
The
crag stays in shade until 1pm however if you have loads of water and you
manage to resist the peak hours, it gets again better from 4pm till sunset. All
the routes are bolted with titanium bolts and vary from 5a to 8a however you
can find also many of them equipped only with threads…be careful!
The access is super easy, you can have a look to the
pictures below.
The crag offers a very nice mix of climbing styles and grades, which make this crag a perfect spot for beginners, a very inspiring habitat for intermediate climbers and a great playground for expert climbers.
