Climbing 23 January 2550 - Phra Nang Bay

The 23rd was Ram's last day of climbing in Thailand, and he got on some good, hard, routes. Phra Nang bay in particular was a beautiful spot. There were a few tourists, but no line for climbs, and an interesting change from the climber beach.

We also climbed nearby "Money Maker" story is someone used to keep a rope set on it and charge for belays to the tourists and Ken lead a 6a+ on the right of Defile Wall. We had dinner at a Thai-Indian restaurant in Railey East, and then the five of us walked the 30-40 minutes back to Tonsai in the dark sharing a headlamp (Ken's of course :). It was a bit tricky navigating the sharp coral and rocks, but the beach walk seemed safer than the jungle path at night which could introduce some dangerous critters (snakes, scorpions, and monkeys).
