Squamish
Day 5 & 6: Climbing and hiking in Squamish
Best day ever!?!?
Our climbing gym members at the final climb of the year. What a fantastic day! Great climbs. Great food. And a lot of good beer the rest of the evening.
Need a rope?
The last climb of the season... and everyone was there. Me in the foreground and Hong Hyeon (the local gear store owner) in the background.
Maisan Climbing
Taking a rest on a nice climb at Maisan (Horse Ear's Mountain).
Climbing at Seonunsan
We got a jump start on the morning to hike up to one of my favorite climbing places in Korea. We shared this large climbing area with three other climbers and a million flying insects. I had forgotten that one drawback of warm weather, bugs. We climbed for nearly 8 hours straight and by the end we were both spent. One thing about only 2 people going climbing is that it makes it very difficult to take pictures. So these are about the only shots we got from the climbing area.

- This is what we found when we went to fill up our water bottles in a near by pool of water. We had no idea what this was but it really freaked us out.

- If you look closely, you can see little "larvae" in pods along the length of the tube.

Climbing at Twin Rock
Nothing beats climbing mid-week. No class until 7pm on Thursdays offers a great excuse to head to the nearest crag. Today we chose a lesser known area in Kyeryong Mountain National Park.
Climbing in Thailand
These pics were the usual sites that we saw everyday. Gorgeous sunsets, limestone cliffs hundreds of feet high and climbers by the hundreds. Sometimes it was a little crowded, but take a short walk to a new wall and you were rewarded with a wall all to yourself. The other guy in the pictures is Bill. I met him on the boat to the beach and since neither of us had a climbing partner we climbed together for the next three weeks. Our climbing styles complemented each others and by the end of the trip we were both climbing much harder stuff than when we started. And if the climbing wasnt enough, almost every evening I watched the sun setting over the Andaman Sea as I threw down some paht thai and a Singha Beer. I would love to get back here come next August after I have a little more strenthg and skills and hit another fraction of the climbs in the area. In three weeks Bill and I only climbed about 5 percent of the climbs on Tonsai beach and the surrounding areas....
