| Dendrophilia (4C) | AKA Torterra Downclimb. So amazing to have a root ladder to go up and down the boulder. So so sick. |

| Druidcraft (5C) | Holy wow. The first boulder they showed me was this BEHEMOTH. This boy is a 25 feet boulder with a Ficus tree growing at the top. This is incredible lucky as the Ficus roots entangle and flow down the side to create a perfect root ladder for the downclimb. Anyway this climb starts on the downhill right side sit squat starting on an obvious crimp. a slightly powerful starting sequence leads to some beautifully sculpted in-cuts which make good pause half way up. Then it gets real and slabby. The crux is a super high step like 16 feed off the deck and with terrible hand holds. Pads would have been nice. Pa found me some rope back at the house and it was enough assistance to comfortably suss the crux before pulling from the FA from the ground. Such an incredible memory to leave Thailand with. |

| Morla Slab Left (5A) | There is an obvious slab on the uphill side of the Torterra boulder. Would be cool to do this direct, but its way easier to bail left to the rail/shelf. Ap would be an amazing climber, wow. |

| Cute Blonde Farang (6C) | WHAT There were good boulders nearby the whole time!? Wow. Finally found these on my last day, but dang I could spend several days in this little crag. There must be a ton of boulder fields like this one all across Thailand. Quite a nice little climb! Start on a sharable half pad crimp rail. With low feet pull on up and left to the Gaston. Use a smeary foot and lunge for the lip for a fairly easy lip encounter. Fantastic rock quality and good movement. A bit on the short side but good nonetheless. Up the hill from Torterra ~3 minutes |
