Here's me as the sun sets at pra nang beach

Picture of phra nang beach taken after climbing (thank you sophie 7b)at the top of defile exit. Photo-arinpetit

Shot in early January, 2006. Best Route in Minnesota, 6c. Escher Wall. Thailand. Photgraph shot by Jon Prince on a Canon SD 400.

Cool route, which I found fairly easy to do. (I just like short overhangs) The start had the most difficult part. Luckily I knew where the kneebar was, otherwise I wouldn't have made it.

A great morning warm-up, but may now be off-limits? In 1992, a local was charging tourists a few bucks to TR the on this pillar!

Cyro G. of California nearing the end of this long route in the corridor left of Princess Cave. This is not the route's name and I can't remember it.

Photo of the wall right of Dom's Cave. Some good 10s are on the left and a really nice bouldering traverse takes up the bottom right side of the photo.

This problem starts on the right stalactite and cruises to the one John (coldclimb) is moving to and then comes down the wall on the left. After going to Thailand for climbing we soon realized the only routes not overhanging were the beds we crawled out of in the morning.

Okay, so Alaska boys used to oceans of slabby granite were more than slightly out of place under the stunning display of mass suspension put on by the overhangs in Thailand, but we managed to find a couple of routes that weren't beyond us. This is Kelsey (Prezwoodz) on Mekhong Crazy 6a+.

This Boulder off PhraNang Beach in Thailand is probably harder in low tide! You can see more shots of Thailand 2005 in my Thai Gallery.

Happy Island off PhraNang Beach in Thailand has a few sport climbs, some moderate. You can see more shots of Thailand 2005 in my Thai Gallery.

I previoulsy submitted a photo of the same climber and one of the comments were that they would have liked to have seen him climbing rather than resting on the rope. So here it is ! Taken as I was about to Abseil down from the Phra Nang cave. The climber in the picture was on his way up a 7 A called Caveman.

An unknown climber on un-named route, believed to be graded at 7a+. Recent new-routing on Hat Phra ngan, Railey Peninsular appears will have a short life. This and another 4/5 routes are rumoured to be de-bolted soon because the locals dont like climbing in proximity to the sacred Princess Cave. Bouldering there has always been accepted as you can see by the over-chalked holds at the base of the wall.

Adilah doing some light bouldering barefooted by the beach near 1-2-3 wall.

This photo is of Alex before we realized that no one used shoes here. We tried it and seemed to climb just as well.

This problem started with a jump start and ended in a huge hole. Great problem.

We spent a lot of time bouldering at the princess cave. It had a mystique that was all its own.

We really enjoyed bouldering here. You can notice the 'Princess Shrine' next over my right shoulder. This was a cave filled with giant phallic symbols. What is it with the obsession with male anatomy?

This is my Mmmmpfff face. This is apparently the face that I make when going for a hard move. It's so unflattering that I decided to share it with you. Enjoy!

Wonderwoman and I went to Railay for our honeymoon and spent 10 glorious days climbing the seaside cliffs. This was on a rare bouldering day. If you have not been to Thailand, you have got to go. It was fantastic! Here is Blueeyedclimber stickin' it at the Princess Cave. By the looks of the offerings left inside the cave, the Princess had a lot of men stickin' it to her! - Wonderwoman (aka Mrs. Blueeyedclimber... or is Blueeyedclimber now Mr. Wonderwoman?)

Check Wonderwoman's nasty cross-through. She bouldered the hell out of that cave. I think she was inspired by phallic sculptures. They gave her the strength of 10 Clydesdales. Blueeyedclimber just watched in amazement at those freakin' back muscles. (description by blueeyedclimber).

Ton hangs out above the sand and just to the left of the Princess Cave. What a great place to boulder.
