A nation in South East Asia

A small crag on Phnom Bek Peang, in a little town just outside of Phnom Penh, in Kampong Cham province.

The closest rock to the highway, main cliff faces west.

A short but juggy route. Watch out for bees in the monster jugs. Continue over the top for decent. No anchor and little available pro.

The is a classic route to the top of No More Monks Rock. Start by climbing up the left-facing corner, continue up the slab to the top, you are sure to get onlookers and honks from passing traffic on route 6. No anchors and virtually nothing in the way of placement. Eventually this route will be bolted. - From Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

Straight up the face of the No More Monks rock. A long sustained difficult climb. (In Khmer this climb name means "no more monk".) - From Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia" [Note: This may now be a sport route]

Start just to the right of "Chicken in the kitchen" and stay right of the line with bolts.Top rope this climb until it's bolted from the "chicken in the kitchen" anchor. (Lots of rope drag, you'll get a workout.) - From Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

[The following is out of date] Start next to the small wooden house and tree. The crux of this climb is surely the start. Follow the 6 bolts to the anchor.

[Ethic warning, locals may not approve] This scramble provides access to the anchors of "Chicken in the Kitchen" and "Aht Lok". Enter the cave next to the home and start of "Chicken in the kitchen" climbing up and left to the top of the rock. The locals don't like us using this access because theuy believe that we disturb the spirits that live in the cave. If you do, however, use this access watch out for bees, and I suppose, spirits as well. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

The middle rock, already with the fewest climbs one of the routes is now blocked by a new shrine.

Start directly below the tree. Either continue to the top of the rock or traverse left to the wide ledge. This climb provides safe access to the "Short but Sweet" and "Straight-up" anchors.

Truly short and bitter sweet climb that begins atop an old concrete slab from the old Pagoda.[Update: there is now a shrine on the slab, probably best to avoid climbing above it.] Accessing the anchors is a bit dicey but possible from the top of the rock. A better option is climbing Warm-Up and taversing left to the wide ledge.

A short beginners route. Climb the slab to the broad ledge. For access to the anchors, follow the suggestions for "Short but Sweet".

The highest of the three main rocks, furthest East. Tall difficult slab climbs line the southern face.

This route is somewhat covered in vines, but is a good route on this face of Broken Pot Rock. No anchors or bolts. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

Start just to the right of the line of bolts for Martha's Vineyard. Continue stragiht up from there following the light coloured rock. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

So called, because this route used to be covered in vines. Follow the line of 5 bolts to the anchor. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

A classic 5.10! The line is pretty self explanatory, follow the 7 bolts to the anchor. You may just want to pull the rope and repeat this route once you did it the first time. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

The name literally means "good day" or "greetings" and named this because this climb is usually one of the first routes climbed when visiting the area for the first time. Climb the slab following the 3 drawn-out bolts to the anchor (23m) gradually traversing right. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

Start on or near the left corner of the slab. Watch out for loose rock on this long slab climb. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia" [Name means "rice + pork", route name originally spelt "Buy-Siak-J-Rok"] [Update: the route has been bolted, unsure about bolt location or number]

A popular route for beginners and seasoned climbers alike. Climb following the 6 bolts and gradually traversing left. Leave a directional on the 3rd or 4th bolt for safe top-roping. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia

Follow the old bolts (without hangers) straight up to the "Morning Glory" anchor. Top rope this route from "Morning Glory" anchors. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

A tight start between the two rocks. Stick clip the first bolt. Sustained difficulty makes this one a must climb. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

Located behind the tree. Anchor from the top Named "Rob's Rat Hole" because a small rat calls the hole midway up the climb it's home. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

A short climb with a difficult to reach anchor at the top. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

This anchor was placed here to teach beginners rapelling and proper rock climbing technique. It's good for practice if you have some beginners along. - Taken from Ben Tipton's "Rock Climbing in Cambodia"

Anchors on top of the rock for setting anchors, you may use it to set "Morning Glory" "Crimper" and "សួស្តី" all of which have exposed and/or hard to reach anchors. This anchor is NOT suitable for climbing or rappelling.

There are two glue in bolts in the middle of the bald top of the rock, helpful to set anchors for "Morning Glory" "Crimper" and "សួស្តី" all of which have exposed and/or hard to reach anchors. This anchor is NOT suitable for climbing or rappelling.

The huge overhanging boulder to the left (south) side of the dirt road.

At the shorter end of the overhanging rock over the road there’s a nice boulder route Seyha did years ago. But now there’s a tin roof shack next to it so dangerous top out.

Unknown bolted route up the extremely overhung rock. Not sure if it has ever been ascended.

Climbing inside and outside some magnificent caves. Sport and via ferrata.

The crag is on government land. So Climbodia has to pay to rent it. Hence, a one time entry fee of $10 is imposed on climbers. Once registered and paid you do not need to pay again.

To the far left of Duvel Sector there is a grade 4-5 scramble up to a series of cables bolted into the rock. Follow the cables all the way around the cliff top to the Evil Eyes sector, ending at Sunset Boulevard. There are at least 3 accesible anchor points to rappel down from, or return the way you came.

Starting to the right of the main cave entrance folowing the trail around the cliff base to the south side. The easier and most interesting climbs are in this sector.

Loveley transition from the Cambodian heat climbing outside to climbing INside the caves. One small wall inside these huge caves has some established climbs. Probably best it stays that way, some of the roof looks precarious. Pro tip: do your outside climbing in the morning and climb inside the cave afternoon. Not only for the temps, but you'll have the most light in the early afternoon. Visibility isn't bad otherwise but it's slightly dim.

Inside the cave, closest climb to the wooden stairs. Top anchors can be seen easily from the ground.

Maybe a meter or so to the right of Daelim Dash. April, June, and Victorious all start pretty much in the same spot. Stay on the face to the left of the start. Top anchors clear. Possible off width fun if you stray off to the right into the narrow cave.

Similar start spot to April and Victorious. June is a less clear climb. Maybe it goes inside the narrow off width cave, maybe it doesn't. More beta required. Top anchors also unclear. Please add info if you have it.

Similar start point to April and June, same top anchors as Upgrade. Climb the long spine going straight up to anchors. There is a small perch at the top where you can sit to set acnhors

Where the path in the cave turns left coming from the wooden stairs there is a small tower of rock. Victorius climbs up the left spine of it, Upgrade climbs up the face of it. Dusty slopers abound. Crux between last bolt and top anchors, the face begins to overhung just slightly. (Ground fall potential heading up to second bolt)
