Jump Start!
FREE CLIMBING! Yeah, you heard us. No wonder this is always an action-packed days at the Bouldering Wall. CMRCA is dedicated to making climbing exciting and accessible to everyone in Thailand, so from 5-8 PM on the first Tuesday of every month, you get a jump start.
It's only the beginning, of course... come with questions, come to make friends! We hope you will be swayed enough by the fun of climbing and the positive community that you'll head out to Crazy Horse the following weekend.
Ladies Night
Our original logo was based on two images that summed up what CMRCA was all about: Crazy Horse Buttress, and a woman climbing. Nearly a decade later, supporting women in adventure sports remains a fundamental aspect of our company and community.
Sometimes to get people to try climbing for the first time, you need a situation in which they have no excuses. That's why we started Ladies Night. From 5-8 PM on the second Wednesday of every month, ladies climb for free at the CMRCA Bouldering Wall.
Community Crank Competition
The Community Crank competition series grew out of a CMRCA staff meeting in which we were trying to think of ways to make the Bouldering Wall more exciting. It's a great wall, of course, but you can only do so much with 6 x 8 meters of wood and plastic every day of the week. How could we create an arena for our community to climb with fresh energy, and push each other forward?
The answer has led to some of the most memorable indoor climbing days in Chiang Mai history: the Community Crank series. In prepration for a Crank, we strip the bouldering wall and set 25 brand-new routes. The competition is buffet-style, meaning everyone simply must climb as many routes as they can in the allotted time. Beginner climbers pull down on exciting one-spot routes while challenging three- and four-spot routes give everyone something to scream about.
Kids Day
Kids day is a special Sunday -- the 3rd Sunday of every month -- when kids under 12 can climb for free from 13.00 - 16.00.
On this day we often welcome groups from youth centers and orphanages from around the region. As we pursue more consistent and sustainable ways to get local children into climbing, Kids Day provides a stepping stone and an introduction to the sport for Chiang Mai's future climbing community. It's one of our favorite days of the month.
Check the CMRCA Eventbrite page and let us know if you would like to bring a group to the next Kids Day!
Special Events
Every month or so, you can find the Chiang Mai climbing community trying our chalk-crusted hands at bowling, rafting, biking, barbequeing, yoga, Quiz Night, or miniature golf. We dress up for movie nights and show up in a crowd at the annual Mae On Rocket Festival. The resulting embarassing pictures only rarely reflect how much fun these events actually are.
