Pha Tang Rock Climbing

The climbing is on farmland and you either have to walk around it from far to the south, or cross it. I had Adam (from Adam's Rock Climbing) take me there the first time and I would recommend it for all but the intrepid explorer.

Crossing the rice fields is far more difficult than it looks, those little mud banks are slippery. There may also be people working, so show some respect. There's a gate at the back of the fields that we found locked once. We had to hop a fence and bushwack through some fairly serious jungle to get there. If the farmer approaches you he'll want some cash for using his land, the fee was trivial 3000 kip or something.

Aside from the usual jungle perils we found the place to be covered in leaches. These little blood suckers are smaller than your usual type, they look more like a short worm. It wasn't uncommon to find half a dozen on your feet. Just pull them off, they don't hurt but if they got enough of their anti-coagulant in you you'll bleed quite a bit for such a small wound.
