Ascent Notes for: The Groove Tube - 5.9 popular Average Rating : 4.54/5

Very unique feature in my climbing experience. Very easy climbing.

There are not many routes I have done that are so over graded.A cool route but even at 5.8 it is soft. Think what it would be in Yosemite or similar even at the ORG it would not be 5.9.

View from the top belay ledge is worth waiting around to see. Careful about doing the second pitch, it's great but a 60 won't get you down.

Really just loved being in the tube! There's a similar feature on a wall up north in Chiangmai at The Ant Hill. Still the view of Tonsai Bay is better than the hills around Chiangmai

groove tube was awesome. rated 10a in the guidebook, felt
5.9 except the last little exposed bit when you exit the tube.

didn't change the difficulty, just exposed.

Super easy for the grade but super fun! The book is correct in saying its a must-do climb!

super classic, the book says don't go home without it and I agree

THis was my first Thailand climb. Def overated in my guidebook but what a blast. Those pockets where so much fun.

Be ready to queue for this route if you come later than 3pm.

I had a big assed grin from start to finish. The most fun I have ever had on an easy route, period.

possibly overrated as well.
