Enjoyed reading this. I dont climb any more simply because no climbing near me - although there are a couple of indoor climbing walls in a few gyms. I lived for 12 years in the S.E. Asia climbing Mecca - Krabi. Was many years spent sport climbing on the limestone cliffs around there. Reading your post brought back all those memories.

Sounds amazing. Hopefully they weren't as crumbly as most of the outdoor places seem to be around here.
Limestone is defo too soft for trad climbing as you no doubt know, but for bolted sports routes its just fine. Most of the routes are well maintained and re-bolted regularly, and re-anchored too. Come check it out one day....
Would love to, but the way things are going the chances of us affording to travel ever again are remote.
That's a stunning, yet slightly unnerving photo, with those precarious looking spikes. Was this an area you climbed yourself? We don't have any bolted routes locally. Would probably have to travel a bit for that. I haven't done lead climbing for over 20 years! I like the freedom of bouldering.
