View of Tonsai Tower with the Drinking Wall visibl...
Description
The Drinking Wall is a great little crag with lots of quality routes and some of the best rock on Koh Phi-Phi. The wall faces east like most walls on the island but the close proximity of the jungle offers a little more shade. The rock tends to have less holds than other walls providing powerful, challenging routes and even some nice cracks. And from what I could tell most of the bolts and anchors have been replaced as of February 2008.
Getting There
The Drinking Wall is tucked away in the jungle north of the Tonsai Tower and is visible from the main path heading east from the peer. Just take the obvious brick path east of the peer and when it splits stay right. You should be heading towards some bungalow's at this point with the wall visible in the jungle beyond. Once you get to the end of the path take a right and you'll run into a trail that leads up into the jungle. Follow this trail for about 5-10 minutes right to the base of the Drinking wall.
This is probably the best route on the Drinking Wall and one of the best on Phi Phi Island. The first half of the route climbs powerful overhanging rock to a good rest ledge. Then continue up steep delicate face and crack climbing to the anchor. A must do!...[more]
