Koh Yao Noi Topos

Beautiful, long routes. Bolts glued. Stunning views! Shade on that wall after 12. Dec 2023: These routes see some traffic and are somewhat clean of spiderwebs and wasps.

Classic Thailand tufa and stalactite climbing. Great quality rock.

There are two main points of entrance to the network of trails. The left beach entrance, find the fig tree that protrudes the furthest towards the water to find the trail head. Hike straight uphill for 5 minutes and you'll find the signed crossroad (Lat 8.177908; Lon 98.63647). 1) Left path: leads to Hongkong, Breakfast, Bee, and Dump walls and finally to Ao Nui Tower (in that order). 2) Uphill path: to the Mitt. Follow the fixed lines straight up to the left side of the Mitt. 2) Right path: leads to Bone, HD, and Big Tree walls (in that order). The right beach entrance can be identified by a large fallen tree strub at the beach marking the trail head. Head uphill and to the right for 5-10 minutes to find a crossing right under the Bone and HD walls (Lat 8.177327; Lon 98.637785). 1) Left path: to the Mitt. Climb a log ladder (careful) at the very end to reach the right side of the Mitt. 2) Path straight: to the HD and Big Tree walls (in that order).

Starting from the Breakfast wall, you can head left to Bee and Dump walls, and finally Ao Pui Tower. To the right a trail downhill begins. About 10 meters from the wall take a left at the fork (not obvious: Lat 8.177874; Lon 98.635515). Stay somewhat close to the wall you'll come across a faded red sprayed rock reading Hong wall. Red spray paint arrows guide you through the (obvious) trail to the signed crossroad (Lat 8.177908; Lon 98.63647). 1) Left (uphill) path: to the Mitt. Follow the fixed lines straight up to the lef side of the Mitt. 2) Straight path: leads to Bone, HD, and Big Tree walls (in that order). Head towards the crossing under Bone and HD walls (Lat 8.177327; Lon 98.637785). 3) Right (downhill) path: takes you to the beach.

In the furthest corner of the beach find the big tree stump (might be gone at some point) and follow the jungle trail behind it. About 10 min down the trail you will arrive at Bone Wall (closed) and HD Wall around the corner. Continue along the cliff for another 10 min or so along a few fixed ropes and two ladders to Big Tree wall. Beware of the rotting wooden ladder and choose your footing carefully! Read "Approach from the sea" for more detailed info.

Head east to the signed intersection. Keep going straight follow the faint trail until it merges with the track coming from the beach. Follow as per Big Tree approach description. Read "Approach from land" for more detailed info.

Small wall generously equipped with titanium bolts and titanium pigtail anchors.

Steep, white rock, tufa's and buckets. In the shade until 2pm in the high season.
