Description

Nice location on the small island in front of Phra-Nang beach. Shady all day, but only accessible by foot at low tide. Too bad almost all routes have old rusty protection and cannot be climbed until rebolted.

Approach

Walk to Phra-Nang beach. At low tide, walk straight to the island about 150m in front of the beach. The wall is right in front of you. At high tide, take a longtail boat, then walk back at low tide.

Old rusty expansion bolts. Do not climb!

Set: Will Hair, 1994

Climbs 'Don't Worry, Be Happy', but veers right before the last clip. Maybe the classic on the crag, but needs rebolting. Last rebolting 2008, but only stainless steel glue-ins, which cannot be trusted anymore. 8 bolts, 5 slings.
