Access Issue: Keeping climbs open depends on maintaining good relationships with locals and monks Details

This climbing area is intertwined with monasteries and pagodas. It is critical for climbing in Myanmar to maintain these relationships through respectful conduct with the monks and the surrounding areas. Please be modest, respectful, friendly, and responsive to the wishes of the monks and local people. Do not climb on religious monuments, and remove shoes when crossing over established pagoda areas.

Description

Featured climbing up the face, and then into a big cave on the second pitch. Climb out the top of the cave and say hello to the Buddha at the anchors.

WARNING: Be very careful when climbing at this crag. The rock is very loose (particularly on 3 Bros) and it can be dangerous.

Location

Leftmost route on Monk's Life Wall, number 1 on the Monk's Life topo.

Protection

Bolts, and carabiners at the anchors.

The "three bros" are Tyler Hoffart, Ko Win Ko, and Ko Lin Htet Aung. They really bonded during the month Tyler spent on the bolting project. Jun 25, 2015

Oh what hell I fell into upon cleaning the lower traverse section. The choss that wouldn't end. But she cleaned up and what was left is one of the coolest 2-pitch sport routes ever. You have to get up in the cave. Mar 26, 2016
