Most of the routes in Thailand were overhanging rock! So here are some pictures of John (coldclimb) and some people i didnt know climbing them.

Perspective? John peers up at this huge overhanging wall.

    Hey, you should have done that for the danger challenge. The next one is wide open, I think..............???

    Great shots, looks like one of my nightmares, not actually, that stuff is not even in my imagination.

    For those who like it, I agree, great shooting, better than lots I have seen while thumbing through Natl Geo, etc.

    are you actually going anywhere with the climb, or just climbing because it is there?

    ginger again
