Things here have been alright. Its the super low peak season so there aint many people around. We are the few Singaporeans here. There are many caucasians from both US and Europe. Expect 10 times more during the high peak season during the month of December.
We are currently staying at this place called Diamond Cave at Railay East. Claudia left today, while Jiasheng, Sandra, Gerry and Doris moved to Tonsai. John, Pengyang, Caleb and I will be joining them tomorrow. Tonsai will not be as high tech and touristy as Railay cuz I guess the place is more for climbers. I shall see how when I am there.
Summary of the routes I did:
Monday @ Fire Wall
For Helga 6a+ - Onsight
Boobtube 6b - Onsight
The Groove Tube 6a - Onsight
White Hot Hernias 6b+ - Hangdog Finish
Tuesday @ Duncan's Boot

Top Knot 6b+ - Redpoint
Tuesday @ The Keep

Friday @ Dum's Kitchen
The Lion King 6c+ - Redpoint (4 attempts)
The Lion King left me with a flapper wound on my left ring finger and a blood clot on my right middle finger. I doubt I will be climbing even tomorrow. Today is also a rest day for us. John and Pengyang are as psyched as ever. So many routes that they wanna send. Me? I guess I am just here to climb. No need to put myself under unecessary pressure. I am here to clock climbs. But don't get me wrong! I am here to train as well. I will not be slacking here. Neither will I be contented with just doing 6as and 6bs. I will just do what I feel like doing and what the rest recommend me to do.
Its a really nice over here and I am happy to be here, but I miss home even more. Can't wait to be back.
MONOKURO BOO♥
