Khao Sok National Park – A jungle night and a jungle day

May 9, 2020October 22, 2020 / Sirri Rimppi / 1 Comment

How come the crags are always empty when I climb? These two are just a short cycle away so I spent my odd off day doing easy stuff in the sun ☀️
Sun is shining and trees are turning, I’m starting to believe in urban summer.
Starting to look like spring, finally, and I’ll need to get used to real rock again. The ”easy” stuff kept me busy, no confidence to climb the highballs quite yet…
