Krabi (Railay )

About Krabi (Railay Peninsular):

One of the best and probably the most scenic sport climbing location in Asia! Large range of grades (5.7 - 5.14s). 450+ single pitch routes and a multitude of multi-pitch climbing Affordable to extravagant accomodations next to the walls. Your could spend a lifetime there and not climb everything (if you are content with sport climbing) and there's plenty of other activities for rest days such as diving, hiking, sea-canoeing or just lazing on pristine beaches. What more can you ask for? All walls well bolted, guides and equipment rental available (but at a cost!). See other areas of Railay Peninsular, Krabi for additonal details on climbs. IMPORTANT NOTICE: OWING TO THEIR EXPOSURE TO THE SEA, BOLTS AND PROTECTIONS ON THE RAILAY PENINSULAR OFTEN HAVE A SHORTER THAN NORMAL LIFESPAN. IT IS CRITICAL THAT, IF YOU DO NOT HIRE A GUIDE, AT LEAST ENQUIRE ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OF YOUR INTENDED ROUTES PRIOR TO CLIMBING.
