Access Issue: Keeping climbs open depends on maintaining good relationships with locals and monks Details

This climbing area is intertwined with monasteries and pagodas. It is critical for climbing in Myanmar to maintain these relationships through respectful conduct with the monks and the surrounding areas. Please be modest, respectful, friendly, and responsive to the wishes of the monks and local people. Do not climb on religious monuments, and remove shoes when crossing over established pagoda areas.

Description

When I climbed this very short route, it was late afternoon and the routes were already baking in the sun, making it a very hot and sweaty experience. So it's probably more enjoyable to get on The Mack Down earlier in the afternoon or in the morning. This route was named by Saya Steve to commemorate a fallen teacher.
