Hard to leave Tonsai

Hey everyone,

Mac is finally doing a post, I haven't read Stef's so excuse me if Im repetitive. Thailand is so darn nice to be in. Its so simple... we get up, have a delicious (cheap) breakfast, and then either slowly walk to an amazing climb (every climb is the best we've ever done), or chill on the beach. We do this day after day if we want to. Yes, we are spoiled.

The climbing here is spectacular. I thought that I was going to die in the heat initially, but Ive become used to it, kind of. We also avoid the direct sun like the plague. Tony, Anna and Stef and I went up and did a climb called Humanility a couple days ago. It had this one mind-blower move where you are up about 3 pitches and you sort of lean across the void to a massive stalagtite (tufa is what they call them here) in order to gain enough pressure to keep your feet on these small slopey holds. It sent electric shocks up and down your spine to hang out in the air like that. It was fantastic.

Take care everyone! We love you!

Hey guys-
Good job on climbing in Railey, we thought it was super hard! That's where Paul proposed though, so it holds a special palce in our hearts. Have fun on your adventures!!
