slackula Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Does anybody know if there is a rock-climbing wall anywhere in Phuket? I used to climb a bit when I was younger and I'd like to try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 ive not heard of any in phuket, but there are some new climbs in koh yao noi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Burr Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 ive not heard of any in phuket, but there are some new climbs in koh yao noi. There was a bar on the road from Nai Harn to Rawai called The Wall. It did have a climbing wall, but, it closed down due to lack of interest and far-flung location. Would have thought Phang-Nga and Krabi would be a climbers paradise. The real thing, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 sure sir burr. railei is full of dreadlocked climbers, but koh yao noi is really 'unchartered waters' for this group of people. we have climbs here which are already routed but they receive very few visitors. which is great. i think the locals like to keep it that way too! there are guys out on the local islands who have routes set out, but its not an obvious place to climb. you need to arrange it first with a local. if you email [email protected] more information can be provided.

That's got a wall - my g/f climbed it last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slackula Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 Climbing wall- Central Festival Mall, 2nd floor at Super Sports store.Seriously, folks!! Yup, saw it yesterday! I asked if I could have a go but they said no because I was heavier than the guy on the other end of the safety rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this mental picture of you falling off the wall and a little Thai guy being catapulted over the top of it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably he had the same image in his head too, hence the refusal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
