CLIMBING AREAS IN LAOS

´WEIDNERWORLDWIDE´ 6C
The first climbing route we bolted in Laos
![]()

The climbing area near Thakhek called "Pha Tam Kam" is hidden in a small valley which ends in the backside of the beautiful Xiengliab Cave, 12 km outside from Thakhek. It was Volker and Isabelle Schöffl who led a group of 17 people to develop the climbing spot in 2010. They told us (that´s Tanja & Uli) about this climbing area while we were preparing our worldtrip. When we came to this beautiful spot for rock climbing in November 2010 we decided to stay and open a climbers camp. Fortunately we came in contact with Green Discovery Laos, Laos' pioneer in Adventure Travel and Ecotourism. Together we started the project in 2011. The rock climbing in Thakhek is awesome: you find wonderful routes with tufas, sintering and face climbing. The gigantic roof with routes ranging from 6b+ to around 9a is unique.
So far there is a total of 110 routes ranging from 4 to around 9a. Whether advanced climbers or beginners, you will have a lot of challenge and amusement! 'Green Climbers Home' is placed directly next to the climbing sectors. And for sure we will make use of the endless potential in and around the climbing area for more and more routes! For the climbing beginners and advanced we offer climbing classes. For those who travel without climbing gear we can rent a harness, climbing shoes, a rope, quickdraws and a belay device.
