Most of the routes in Thailand were overhanging rock! So here are some pictures of John (coldclimb) and some people i didnt know climbing them.

Perspective? John peers up at this huge overhanging wall.

I've seen photos of this climb in magazines before. And to be honest, your shots are much better than those magazine photos! great work! http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/xzicon_smile_cool.gif

Hey, you should have done that for the danger challenge. The next one is wide open, I think..............???

Great shots, looks like one of my nightmares, not actually, that stuff is not even in my imagination.

For those who like it, I agree, great shooting, better than lots I have seen while thumbing through Natl Geo, etc.

are you actually going anywhere with the climb, or just climbing because it is there?

:huhGreat shots! I used to date a guy who was into doing this stuff and he taught me a few things but boy....You two are just nuts. More guts than I've got.

Looks like you had a great time in Thailand. These shots came out really really well:thumb
