So I'm getting my climbs on. It's slowly coming back. Today was the first day where I started climbing on 6a's and 6b's that didn't just freak me out. In fact, thanks to Kevin's climbing lessons, I sat there and depumped while in midroute. It was awesome!!

Tomorrow one of the local climbing guides is taking me out to the drinking wall here on Phi Phi Don and we're going to shoot some pictures of him and some of the other local climbers. They're going to be working harder routes -- from 7a's up through 8c's. Should be sick to watch! I'll probably top rope some of the 7a's depending on how they look.

We also ran into a crazy french climber who is staying at the same guest house/bungalows as us. He's pretty cool and was very fun to climb with. He ended up showing up at the cliff base with a pair of rented shoes and a rented harness and then hopped right in with us -- climbing 6a's and b's with no problem.

Anywase, gotta run -- getting tons of awesome pictures from the island and it's gonna be sad to leave this place in 3 days. It's become a home and I've made some good friends here. I'll just have to come back some day :)
