We spent the next 2 days climbing on our own with rented gear (using rented gear is a bit of a scary prospect but we decided against bringing all that heavy gear for a short climbing trip).
The first day we hooked up with a couple from the deep water solo. They were both much better climbers than us but were taking a rest day of their own (this was one of the guys who was climbing soloing up 50 feet yesterday). We climbed at the Diamond Cave which ended up getting crazy busy so we moved over to the Eagle wall in the afternoon. John did great as my rope gun and I'm sure got a bit of extra confidence having such good climbers with us.
The next day we started very early and headed back to the area we went our first day. The climbing here really helps build your confidence. I only wish we had more time.
But we have already overstayed our intended visit here and its time to make one last visit to the our regular dinner restaurant on the beach, one last beer at the beach bar, and head over to the Peace Bar for a Fireshow before and catching a boat to the mainland and making our way to Bali. I definitely think we will be back to Krabi for a climbing trip, but next time we will bring our own climbing gear.
