Karbi 2006

YMCA of Hong Kong
King's Park Centenary Centre
Climbing in Thailand, Krabi(Railay)
April 29 to May 7, 2006 (9 Days)



Introduction
Krabi – Railay Beach and Ton Sai
Without a doubt Thailand’s most developed and extensive climbing area. With over 500 bolted routes in walking distance, the ability to belay off the beach in many areas and all year round sunshine, this has deservedly become one of the world's top climbing holiday destinations. The area was first discovered by climbers in the late eighties and since then has grown extensively and continues to do so. The area is wonderfully laid back and relaxed.

Who can join?
This climbing trip is suitable for all levels of climbers. Participants should hold the YMCA Climbing Assessment Card. Both Top Roping and Lead Climbing is acceptable. Our experienced instructor will give you tips on climbing and recommended routes in a safe way.

第一次

嘩!
皇天不負有心人,我終於一嘗出山玩multi-pitch!
我一心諗住我牛一當天去beacon hill 爬multi,但未出門口己經見到屋企窗外滿天是雨,但仍然心存僥倖,可以一爬,所以一於叫晒爬石朋友照舊去石硤尾食早餐,一於出咗去先算!
一出南昌西鐵站,已經心知不妙,哎呀,落住毛毛細雨,地面濕晒,oh~~無得上山。無辦法啦,天意如此,只好轉去climberland玩玩boulder,點知,都係唔係幾玩到d線!

相隔兩日,終於放晴,亦即係農曆新年假期最後一天,我地一班爬石人又再戰beacon。一上山大家拿拿林著齊所有必要及非必要爬multi既高級有品味用具,而最快手既原來係amy!

首先我,瑪利亞同amy一齊串燒三兄弟,amy 打頭陣做先鋒,beacon只有一條可以爬multi既線,就係6a one eye snake,共兩個pitch。amy姐手震震咁上咗去第一個pitch頂,而samy亦都上咗去隔離條線a住咗,指導我地一班初哥。



瑪利亞做中間粒魚旦,又爬咗上去,但俾人音咗一嘢!我跟住上,之後lead埋第二個pitch,嘩,face,好驚,不過冇fall~~


上到第二個pitch頂,見到有兩個bow,一高一底,高果個駁咗條長tape同一個生锈扣。去到真實環境,有d手忙腳亂,唔知點算好。

a住咗之後又要諗吓點整個belay system,埋身定離身呢?搞黎搞去都係一舊雲,好彩有samy提番點做,唔係真係企係度~~


第一次multi完成時間大約要1個多小時,嘩~~
山上風景多美,好高呀!


玩完一次未夠皮,我地又串多次,今次有了經驗,我地快咗好多,同埋我地趕住落山所以冇咩影相!



夜晚去samy屋企拜年,又食咗好多嘢,飽飽,samy 屋企仍然打掃得很乾淨,好利害~~
