How fit do I need to be?

Lopburi has plenty of options for beginner climbers. Whether you’ve never climbed before or are transitioning from the gym to outdoor climbing, your guide will customize the day to suit your skill level and objectives. With a guide by your side, you’ll learn something new, stay safe on the rocks, and most importantly, have fun! For intermediate to advanced climbers, Lopburi has loads of routes to spend the day on. Your guide will discuss your objectives and customize the day to your goals. Let your guide plan the day so you can focus on developing your skills while climbing the classic routes or best hidden gems the area has to offer.

What about required equipment?

All technical climbing equipment will be provided by your guiding service. However, if you have your own gear, feel free to bring it. You’ll need: Helmet Ropes Climbing hardware (quickdraws, cam devices, stoppers, etc.) Belay device Chalk bag Harness with a locking carabiner Rock shoes Here’s a list of the equipment we suggest you bring: Day pack large enough to carry all the items listed (around a 40L bag) Water bottle Toiletries (sunscreen, toilet paper, etc.) Mosquito repellent Sunglasses Camera — optional Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in.
