Not 7b but absolutely brilliant route - loved it. Should be down-graded.

Can't legit claim O/S as people had told me the best way to do the first real 'move' although it was obvious from the sand that that was the best way. The draws were up as well so whatevs. O/Ss in Tonsai are almost impossible with the interminable unsolicited beta spray.

Sport 100m Ton Sai Very Good Thu 14th Feb 2019
A rad adventure into the elevated cave system inside the Sleeping Indian Wall. 3* classic adventure, 2* climbing. An exposed start and burly climbing on P2 had me puffing (might feel more like 7a+ with the exposure and a complete absence of any chalk leading the way) and awesome featured and thought provoking climbing on P3, pitches 1 and 4 are OK but all part of the journey. Rapped off in dark after a late start. 2 x 60m ropes do *JUST reach the ground from anchor at top of pitch 2 despite them going through the trees and you not being able to see if they hit the ground.

Just launch for it! F'n superb line with great variety.

 
7a Lars & Lars - with Liam Sport 25m, 9 Ton Sai Very Good Mon 4th Feb 2019
4th shot after two more lazy unfocused 1st crux fluff attempts!

 
7a Babes in Thailand - with Lucas C, Magdalena de la Torre, Mitch, Liam Sport 12m, 5 Ton Sai Classic Fri 8th Feb 2019
All went down well. Brilliant route...one of my Tonsai favourites. Classic limestone stal/tufa climbing with all the classic moves.

Sport 50m, 20 Ton Sai Very Good Fri 8th Feb 2019
Did as three pitches from the jungle bit at the bottom - grim 1st pitch. Awesome adventure through some beautiful terrain giving you a much deeper appreciation of the huge rock formations that make up the uppers of these walls. A bit dirty, a bit out there and a bit of care needed with rock but mainly good with great climbing and a tricky exposed and blind crux - Magui did well leading that one P1 6a - O/S, Pitches 2+3 below....

Sport 75m, 28 Ao Nang Tower Classic Sat 9th Feb 2019
Awesome full scope sport adventure. Great climbing, great position, novel rap into the waiting boat. Climbed it as 2 twos with a rope each. Both led top pitch as you would a single. Tied our single 60m to the anchor and rapped into boat from anchor at top of P2 while 2nd team were leading P3. They then set up retrievable rap with both ropes once they were finished and joined us in the boat. 2nd rope got wet so think about that when deciding which one to pull into the boat and which one is going in the drink.

 
6c Babo Does Thailand - with Mitch Sport 28m, 11 Railay Classic Wed 13th Feb 2019
Awesome...so awesome. Techy low slab crux and brilliant holds and sequence through upper steepening. So much fun.

Sport 110m, 33 Ton Sai Very Good Mon 4th Feb 2019
The birth of Multi-Pitch Mitch. Great fun intuitive climbing with no distinct cruxes. It's 4 pitches, not five, but there is a rap-anchor half way up the 4th and final pitch that is used to rap off easily with a single 60m rope. Use rap rings on the left facing the rock to stay out of other climbers' way. A relaxed few pm hours in the shade.

Sport 85m, 28 Ton Sai Very Good Wed 6th Feb 2019
Had climbed the access pitch before. The first two pitches are OK but the 3rd pitch is the money - 3* for sure and slightly harder and more exposed than any of the 6bs on Big Wave. Brilliant varied involved climbing - doesn't get better at the grade. 1hr16 ground to ground, climbed in classic swinging lead style setting off 'The Great Tonsai Beauty and the Beast Speed Ascent Challenge'. We held the title for exactly 1 week lol - the record now sits at 52 minutes - both climbers must lead the top pitch.

 
6b The Cat and the Cobra (Cat & Cobra) - with Lucas C, Magdalena de la Torre, Mitch, Tristan Sport 20m, 7 Ton Sai Good Sun 3rd Feb 2019
Easier than Devil Cat. Climbs well.

 
6b Monkey's Bum - with Mitch Sport 20m, 7 Railay Average Wed 13th Feb 2019
Not a fan. Ok, but probably a bit stiff at the grade and just not that exciting.

Collecting directional draw after friends had TRd. Too polished for me to enjoy and stiff at grade.
