Description

Amper Si Chompu the first sport climbing area of Khon Kaen developed by Khon Kaen Climbing Club (KKCC). It is about 2 hour drive from down town Khon Kaen. There are a lot of tall lime stone mountains in the area and bolting process started in 2016 and still on going. KKCC is trying to set up more routes and put more bolts in.

70 meters rope is RECOMMENDED for most of the crag in Khon Kaen. We bolted long routes. Some of the routes need to be rappel from the bolted anchor.
