From Phuket, the best way to get there is to drive up to Bang Rang Pier
and from here take a long tail boat or a speed boat up to the Manoh Pier. From Krabi, the embarkation port is called Ao Thalene. From both departing points, the price
will vary from 120 THB to 200 THB and every 30 minutes there is a boat running up and down from 6h00am to 4h00pm.
Since the climbing area is located on the extreme north on
the island, it is necessary to rent a motorbike, and drive for 20 minutes through some scenic hills surrounded by rubber plantations and wild forest. Do
not be surprise to meet monkeys, snakes or monitor lizard on your way!
Once you arrive at the end of the road, you can safely leave your bike at the parking of the Hotel Paradise Koh Yao Noi and from here start a nice and easy trek! Do not forget to bring loads of water to drink...you will be sweating a lot!
Climbing in Koh Yao Noi is absolutely great! Most of the routes are protected with super safe Titanium Bolds and the quality of the rock is super!
The two most famous areas are surely The Mitt and The Grateful Wall, however, since the first one is indicated for strong harms holders and second
one is reachable only by boat, I would suggest The Bee Wall, or The
Breakfast Wall instead.
The Bee Wall starts with a 6a+ and a 6b next to each sharing
the same anchor and it goes further with an amazing second pitch of 7a+. The crag continues with two more 6c and one 6c+
all of them around 25m.
