Railay climbing changed my life!
- Some 20 years ago, my friend invited me to climb at Railay and I had to try to show I was not a coward. Some years later I was a climbing instructor and as I improved and had done almost all routes at Tonsai I eas not one of the playboys but you know I am a man and I was very young and the Euro and American girls liked my six-pack.
Back in the days I also tried some competitions but this was not for me and the same goes for comparing who did the most hard routes. I got a big ego and I did not like it. Climbing and eating is good for my head and then I go to sleep. The new climbing center is perfect for me and I think I will come here every evening to do some boulders.
My plan is to get an international UIAA degree and to to more advanced courses. I know that the new generation climb scientifically and I would and the new boulder wall could make it possible but it will be just for myself to get back in shape. I do not want to start comparing myself again. I have a good life now and have changed my thinking. My Finnish girlfriend since four years did not know that I climbed hard until we had known each other for three months.
Normally I do not speak but you keep asking questions and seems interested and it is always nice to meet and talk with other dedicated climbers, you open up :)"
Sarut works at Real Rocks Climbing and the picture is from their new boulder wall integrated with shop in Ao'Nang where he hangs out most of the days. During high season he normally makes about 1 000 euro a month from his courses.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
