Going up! Part 1

After two weeks on islands swimming we needed to find a new activity. We just happened to be close to world class rock climbing so we couldn't resist. We jumped on another boat and headed for the unbelievably lovely karst mountains in Railay. I'm going to leave most of my thoughts about Railay to another post since these next two are just going to focus on climbing. 

We set out with our guide early in the morning and had a quick 15 minute refresher before jumping on our first wall. Cassie gripped the wall and worked her way half way up before finding the wall a bit too challenging. I did the same. Feeling a bit more comfortable we set out for our second wall and we both completed it with ease. I can only assume that the first wall was just jitters since it was our first time actually climbing outside.
