Chicks dig scars…. right?

Q: What happens if you fall off of this rock:

?

A: If you’re lucky, it might look something like this:

Both jeremy and I ended up with scars like these (this one’s Jeremy).  On separate occasions, we both managed to take lead falls towards the top of a climb, and catch the rope with the backs of our knees.  Better than catching the rock with yr head, i suppose… Mine went right across the back of the knee, where the leg bends.  Thus, every time i sat down for a while and stood back up, i ripped it wide open again.  Took about a month to heal.

Rock climbing is FUN!!!

Three of Thailand’s many sides: the commercial, the rural, and the religious.

Ahh, Ton Sai.  One of the highlights of the whole trip.  Wake up at 7, huge breakfast, grab all the gear, be on the rock by 9.  Some of the most beautiful rock climbing in the world, if you can take the heat.  These pics are all from our favorite climb, “Fit to be Thai’d”.  You can see in the second picture that even the person holding the rope stands on a narrow ledge 150 feet above the water.  And it’s 90 feet up from there!

New series…

OK, i’ve finally gone through (most) of the pics from my trip around the world.  I’m gonna start putting em up on this very blog for your viewing pleasure.  The posts will be in chronological order, so you’ll see thailand, india, africa, then europe.  I’ll kick it all off with before and after pics:
