A stunning sunrise over Angkor Wat. Worth waking up at 4:00 am for? Definitely.

Saying Goodbye to Thailand/Tonsai for real this time as we continue our journey - It's been the closest thing to a home for us in a long time. I don't know when exactly but we will be back.

Scootering around Phuket
Wed Feb 20 2019
We had an incredible week climbing in Laos. There is so much climbing here! Great variety and a good spread of difficulty. We spent most of our time just exploring and climbing routes within our range. I couldn't leave without trying a pitch at the roof. It's an intimidating crag - pure overhang and long but the draws are fixed which is nice. I definitely didn't expect to finish when I started climbing. But one bolt at a time with a few "creative" rests and only the anchor remained between me and my first 6b+ send. I'd just seen my partner fall in this exact spot so I knew it wasn't over yet. I lost both feet for a moment on the last move but was able to recover and get my left back on where I needed it to push over the ledge. The finish wasn't elegant, I laid on the ledge exhausted for a few minutes before clipping. We didn't get any photos at the roof and it's hard to capture right anyways. Here is a photo of me on our favorite pitch Dancing Butterflies 5c. It wraps up and to the right, slightly overhung with great holds and the moves flow really nicely.
