 This
course will take you through all of the basics of the morning
portion of the Introduction to Top Rope Climbing course. Our focus
will be on introducing you to the most basic concepts of rock
climbing.
After
a short lunch break, we will take you to visit the Buddhist Muang
On Cave, which is a deep cave filled with Buddha images. It is
a very holy site for the locals. After that, you have the choice
of visiting the Sankamphaeng Hot Springs or Tad Moei Waterfall.
In
the cold season, we recommend the hot springs, where you can soak
in warm spring water, and relax with papaya salad, ice cream and
a whole slew of other tasty Thai treats.
In
the dry season, we recommend the waterfalls where a short jungle
trek takes you to a beautiful ice cold waterfall. Here you can
lounge under the falls, cooling off and enjoy the sunshine.
