"It Is Never Too Late to Start"
I climbed and did my first caving and ascender use (Jumar) with Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Adventures (CMRCA) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I was led by a private CMRCA guide who attended to every possible safety issue with diligence. He guided me to a great climbing experience and introduced me to caving. The caving was my first such effort. I rappelled and, at the end of the cave visit, ascended a 35 meter rope with no difficulty!
The experience was stunning and memorable. We waded through above-knee water while moving from one room to another in the cave. Crystalline deposits, spiders, worms, crickets, and bats enhanced the visit.
For those of you who are mature, the message from this 72 year old is: "it is never too late to start." Through the entire two-day experience, I felt confident that I was being led with utmost attention to my needs and safety. This place is great and CMRCA makes it a great visit!

Taw is an excellent instructor. Not only would I recommend CMRCA to friends, I would also recommend Taw.

“Wow, extreme, athletic, and forever memorable”
We did the Vertical Cave Climibing tour, and wow, it was very cool. Without much previous outdoor climbing or caving experience, the guides were able to safely take us several hours deep into the center of the earth through amazingly fun ascents and decents.
It was certainly challenging, but don't need much climbing experience, just a strong will and some muscles. Staff was friendly and reliable, and the scenery was simply incredible.
Definitely one of the top two highlights of our two weeks in Thailand! Wow, extreme, athletic, and forever memorable!

"All of the Great Reviews were Accurate"
All of the great reveiws were accurate... This was a fantastic experience. I have done plenty of bouldering in the past but the rope work and setting anchors has always kept me from going vertical -- I still need more practice but I feel much more confident with my abilities. Kwang was a great friend and professional.

"A Refreshing Change"
I first climbed at Crazy Horse in Chiang Mai in 2003 when I found it to be a refreshing change from the overpopulated cliffs of Krabi. Since then a bunch more routes have been added to the Crazy Horse area and the crag infrastructure has been improved to an impressive level.
"I'm Hooked!"
Awesome course! Awesome introduction to rock climbing - I'm hooked!
Christopher Langdon, 3 Day Fundamentals of Rock Climbing
"Great Local Climbing Community"
It is easy to see that CMRCA have done great things in establishing a well respected local climbing crag. Not only is there concern for safety and protection of anchors and bolts, CMRCA have admirable practices for proper waste disposal, clean-ups, trail maintenance and reducing waste.
