Star Gate

5.11, Sport, 100 ft (30 m),  Avg: 4 from 1 vote
FA: Bolted by Gee in summer 2023. FA by Gee
International > Asia > Thailand > Central - Aroun… > Lop Buri (ลพบุร… > Star Wall

Description

An exceptional route that requires a mandatory Chimney-squeeze technique not often employed in Thailand.  

Hate it or love it - the grade is listed as 5.11 but if you are a seasoned valley (Yosemite or other granite places alike) climber, this would probably be graded as 5.9

Location

scramble up the fixed rope to a chossy ledge and you will spot a very obvious corner.  Take good care the first 10 feet as there are still loose flakes.  

Protection

around 15 glue-in SS316 bolts.
