Nodes in Asia

I'm sure this could be a trad climb, there are plenty of features. On the back side (facing in to the mountain) towards the front end (west end) of the fin there are anchor bolts with rap rings accessed by climbing past the front end anchors almost to the top. I am told there is also a single bolt on the platform above those anchor bolts for safety to lean over and set the anchors. If the rest of the vegetation gets cleared off this could be a classic climb. Straight vertical with two ledges for rests, tufas, cracks, blank face climbing, it's a well rounded climn.

From the Wat parking lot entrance looking north along the road there is a tower leaning away from the main mountain that looks similar to the Apsara dancer crown.

Start in the crack right in the middle of the front face of the rock. There is a bolted route, but it looks as though it hasn’t been climbed in several years. No beta about the top.

At the far north end of the mountain, a tall white face that vaguely resembles a horse sticks out from the main hill, pointing fairly due north. Editors note: Currently there are no routes on Balaha, but there should be.

Province in the north-west of Cambodia

A limestone ridge behind the Chanhchang Pagoda located in Serei Saophoan, capital of Banteay Meanchay province. [Google mistakenly calls this city Sisopon]

Large rising tower on south end of the area. From the highway note the distinctive rifts crossing diagonally.

Easy slab to the left of the "cockpit". The top anchor can be accessed from above using another set of anchors bolted in the top of the rock (the scramble up the side is easy, but exposed). If you can hand jam its a much easier climb, if you can't it's still easy 😂

Just a little scramble into the cavity within the tower. Good spot for a cool off. Not hard to get into.

Not really a climb, but scramble up to access the anchor ledge for the sport climbs. Start in front of the cockpit, top the slab, can sling the horn for protection, and there is one bolt [unconfirmed] on the main cliff when you step over the gap.

No permanent anchor, sling the horn at the top of the slab on the left side of the space shuttle. Climb from the launch slab.

(#1 on the topo) Starting from the launch slab (the only sport climb to start here, though all the belaying is from here) follow the obvious line up to the left-most anchors. The climb is significantly harder if you stay to the right of the anchors, there are alot more features off to the left.

Anchors were placed at the bottom of the "launch slab" to safely access the starting ledge below and regain access to slab.

(#2 on topo) 99, The Right Stuff, and Predator all technically start from the treed ledge below, but can be started from the "launch slab". Shares anchor with The Right Stuff

(#3 on topo) 99, The Right Stuff, and Predator all technically start from the treed ledge below, but can be started from the "launch slab". Shares anchor with 99.

(#4 on topo) 99, The Right Stuff, and Predator all technically start from the treed ledge below, but can be started from the "launch slab". While 99 and The Right Stuff run closely paralell and share an anchor, Predator drifts to the right with largely run out bolts, presumably so placed because of the precarious rock. After the last bolt the climb is easy to the anchors at the very top of the tower. [Note: these anchors have not been inspected in nearly a decade, use with caution]

The cave directly beaneath God's Bed area. Good variety of climbing levels inside.

(#15) A huge overhanging offwidth goes from just above the main entrance of the cave, follow it to the anchors in the cave roof. Jump start from a boulder or borrow a friends shoulders. Only two known ascents.

(#16) Starting just to the left of the cleft opening to the outside of the cave (in the northern wall) overhanging and fairly featurless. Uses same anchor as Secret of the Golden Flower.

(#17) Getting off the ground is the hard part of this climb, the rest is pretty easy. Start at the far left end of the western wall above the archway, the anchors are on the ledge halfway up the wall. Accessable if you walk up the side outside the cave.

Start between Go Ban! and the Bat Hold, use the bolts from the Bat Hold and traverse over to use the anchors from Go Ban!. There are sort of half pipe like features in the rock, this one goes up the second half pipe from the left.

(#18) An interesting start and finish, easy middle. Jump start at the leftmost end of the arch, push your feet off the wall under the arch and stay to the left of the bolt line. The anchors are on the opposite wall (almost behind you as you get to the top) and require either quite a long reach, or quite a long run out to traverse around to them. Alternate start is fully under the archway.

(#19) Pre clip the first bolt underneath the archway, around the middle. Jump to grab the natural bar and insert feet into the holes. Work your way out onto the face slightly to the right of the start (alternate: exit the arch more to the left for "The Bat Hold") once on the face stay to the right of the bolt line. from halfway up the face join "The Bat Hold" to the same anchors.

Great beginner section at Phnom Chencheang. Behind the first shrine you pass when approaching from the cemetary.

A very easy climb immediately behind the shrine at the top of the cemetary. [At last check bolts were missing, assigned grade is probably a bit high but route has not been repeated in recent memory]

(#2 on the topo) Furthest anchors in towards the U shape in the rock face.

(#3 on the topo) In the tube like feature straight ahead when you enter the area. Good stemming warmup. Named for Seam Sarorn, one of Cambodia's foremost climbing instructors. [At last check bottom bolt was missing, preclip the upper bolt]

To the right of the tube, use same anchors as Sarorn's Birthday. Climb up the sharp end of the little jutting out rock. [At last check bottom anchor was missing]

(#8 on the topo) After passing by the cave with the stair case ("Indiana Jones pass" on the map) first of four top-ropes up to the trail on to the wat at the peak. No other known details.

(#9 on the topo) After passing by the cave with the stair case ("Indiana Jones pass" on the map) second of four top-ropes up to the trail on to the wat at the peak. No other known details.

(#10 on the topo) After passing by the cave with the stair case ("Indiana Jones pass" on the map) third of four top-ropes up to the trail on to the wat at the peak. No other known details except the name pronounced "muy bpee bey", 123 in Khmer.

(#11 on the topo) Easy as... Where the trail turns to head down to the caves there is a route with anchors that are accesible by leaving the trail above and crossing the pinnacles.

(#12 on the topo) When headed down pass the cave entrance on your right and the start of 12 and 13 will be on your left. No known details on this climb, presumably shares top anchor with #13.

(#13 on the topo) When headed down pass the cave entrance on your right and the start of 12 and 13 will be on your left. No known details on this climb, presumably shares top anchor with #12.

The big cave underneath the cliff top temple. Hard routes only. Base of the cave relatively unexplored. [Warning: during construction this cave has basically become a garbage dump for the workers.]

Hard route coming out of the upper section of the cave. No known beta, bolts are a little far in between. Belay from the landing 1/3 of the way down the cave.

A favourite in the cliff temple crag for it's views, route lengths, and medium grade climbs. Belay with caution, the gully gets steep fast. DO NOT DROP ROCKS DOWN THE GULLY, they will shoot straight down the the roof of the main Wat. Use caution here.

(#5 on topo) Start to the left of the pointy boulder. Uses the same anchors as Temple Gully Buttress, but exits the gully to the left and climbs the face. First and second bolt are slightly run out and it's much hotter outside the gully but the climb is, overall, easier. [Note:assigned grade disagrees.]

(#6 on topo) A fun climb with an easy walk off (if you prefer not to lower-off) the belay is a little bit steep, suggest tying off to the tree. The bolt line meanders just a bit, the real line goes fairly vertical the whole way, but the crux is easy to skip if you want an easy day by traversing along the ledge to the right.

(#7 on topo) No information known, location noted on Japanese climbers topo from Angkor Climbers Guidebook

A little crag down the road from Phnom Chencheang. Not much to it, but the approach is easy

LOCATION UNCONFIRMED. Seen on Rock Climbing in Cambodia facebook page from March 2012, location just a guess based on their posts and from asking locals in Siem Reap. Topos and map also from facebook.

Seems close to a shrine, as with most climbs in Cambodia. be respectful on the local peoples activities and wishes.

The province of Battambong

A highly touristed mountain near Battambang city, many unexplored cliffs and caves weave through it. Most famous for the huge bat population that come streaming out of cave openings at night.

The province of Pailin

The Province of Takeo

Mountain very close to the Vietnamese border at Tinh Bien.

An area with many large boulders, some over 20 meters tall.

A huge boulder with a small pile of boulders on top. Very popular tourist spot for selfies. Lot's of campgrounds around it.

Gentle slab up the east side of the boulder. Accesible anchor at the top. There are hundreds of potential holds, but it is a challenge to find those that won't break off. Halfway up there is a great pocket for a rest, hands free if you stand in it.

2nd anchors (towards the back of the rock, also on the west side) no attempts yet.

Two huge boulders side by side.

Chimney climb straight up the front of the split rock. Haven't figured out the best start to the climb yet. Top anchors were set for abseil, very far from the edge, so a long anchor will be needed. Warning: the rock will be too hot to touch by midday. So get up early for this one.

At the back end of the crack chimney up from the top of the wedged boulder to the tree to set an anchor. This is the easiest access to the top of the boulders.

China has one of the fastest growing climbing communities in the world. It covers a huge landmass that allows for all styles of climbing on all sorts of rock types.
