Gallery | Travel and Sites | Thailand! February 13-28, 2010 | Deep Water Solo'ing

We paid 800 Baht each (about US$24) for a full day of boating around the sea, climbing perfect limestone, and falling into soft, green water. Wee's Deep Water Solo'ing trip was worth every Baht.
Mark heading up for his first climb out of the kayack
The crew from Tonsai pull up beside us
Lots of climbers on the wall at once
Mark pulling out through cool stagactites
Mark falling into the water!
Making a long reach, pretty high above the water
Climbers working their way around the rock
Lovely views in the distance from our anchor point
Mark working up the route
Found a nice resting spot!
Climbing nearly to his highpoint of the morning
And falling!
Big Splash!
We spent the day on this great little boat
Too paddles Mark back to the boat
Hanging out, talking about the climbs, drying off a bit
John heading for the drink!
Another big splash!
Climber off!
Boats anchored for lunch at a secluded cove
A beautiful day in the tropics - great for climbing!
Climbers eat their lunch in the last bit of shade
Our lunch, a big pot of shimp fried rice
The longtails anchored on our beach for lunch
Tropical Fish!
Mark plays with a lot of fish (feeding them rice)
These fish were so cool
The floor of the sea is covered in shells
Beautifully clear water
A nice view while swimming
Kate dives in
Stephan rides shotgun on the longtail
A view back towards Railay, Tonsai, and Ao Nang
Stearing a longtail
The Tonsai group climbed on the sunny side in the afternoon
We worked this (harder than it looks) traverse
Kate deep water solos - not very high
Kate working her way along the traverse
Swimming in rock shoes is one of the weirdest things
Mark starts up the last route of the day
Mark climbing in swimtrunks
The steep vertical rock was very hard, solid, and clean
How high should he go?
This is about where I started calling him down
But he climbed a little higher
1... 2... 3!!!
Falling!!!
