KeLu Block

International > Asia > Laos > Thakhek (Pha Tam Kam)

Description

This wall receives all day shade but should be avoided during hot days due to the Black Rock bees (flies). Cool days or a slight breeze will keep these little buggers at Bay. It consists of perfect, Bullitt hard rock and quality face climbing. Be careful about the rope lingth when lowering.

Getting There

Headed towards the Falang swimming hole located a kilometer towards Thakhek from Green climbers home. There is a small walking trail that branches off of the main road and heads directly towards the impressive wall of Phantasialand that is marked with a Karen. After passing a Boulder Field follow a sign at the split in the trail. Turn left here and head down hill threw the crag sized boulders to get to both Wonderland and KeLu Block.
