Ton Sai Beach

Ton Sai Beach

For the last few days Badger, Grease Monkey, and myself have been hanging out on Ton Sai beach bouldering, climbing, and relaxing. OH, I suppose you are all wondering who Badger and Grease Monkey are. Well, the name Badger was given to Kala because when we were getting ready to climb she was tearing off a piece of cloth tape and could not seem to get it to tear. So she continuted to gnaw away at it until it broke, with her nose all scrunched up she looked just like a Badger. As for Grease Monkey, well, anyone who knows Russell very well knows that he has very long arms, and has been called Monkey Boy by many. Recently he has been lubing himself up with a lot of sunscreen which makes him Greasy.

So Grease Monkey, Badger and I have been out on the beaches climbing. We didn't try anything too ambitious due to the fact that both G-Monkey (short version) and I have been without the rock for a long time. (12 months for me, minus one day trip to Gallatin Canyon this past summer). All excuses aside, the rock on Ton Sai beach is pretty amazing. It's like climbing extremely sharp and texturous limestone stalagtites and fins.

I've posted a few pictures of the area we were staying at and a few of the beach and sunset on the cliffs. Enjoy. Our next stop is the world renowned FULL MOON PARTY on Ko PhaNgan!
