Rock Climbing Phi Phi

If you're a novice who wants to learn, or a proficient climber already there is plenty to do on Phi Phi Rental equipment is available as are guides and instructors.

For beginners and intermediate climbers Phi Phi offers far more concentration of climbs in the range of 5s to 6cs. Tonsai Tower of Phi Phi offers close to 25 routes in that range, single and multi-pitch alike.

But all of them will afford you a unique view of this paradise island.

Drinking Wall

Steep hike but worth it. Sector higher up in the jungle offers some of the best limestone in Thailand. Beware of left-side sector bolts that look like glue-ins but are not. In fact, some of them you can turn by hand. Easier routes on the right sector have been rebolted. To distinguish the two you must see the excess of glue on the outside of the bolt.

Ao Ling Wall

Prominent buttress on the left of Tonsai Tower is accessible in low tide (walking) or a five minute boat ride.

Hua-Ling (Monkey Head)

Twenty minutes by boat from Charlie Beach its possible to find a long tail boat to take you to a tower with two stunning multi-pitch climbs straight out of the boat. Land on a small rock (difficult landing at low tide). A very airy and exposed climb.

Monsun 7a

Starts on the same small rock as previous climb. Difficult stemming takes you straight up and left to the same anchor as third pitch of Djamuuk-Ling. Another classic not to be missed.

Koh Phi Phi Leh

Ao Pilay Wall in a small bay, 10 minutes left of Viking Bird Nest Cave, located over a small beach right side as you go in. Again at low tide watch out for sea-urchins. The right-facing corner, with a huge roof, on the left side of the beach, is called Black Tip Shark 6c.
