December 5: Thakhek to Green Climber’s Home – 16 km
Day 53
Green Climber’s Home is every climber’s wet dream – affordable accommodations right next to the crags – 147 routes all within 20 minutes (at the most) of walking, but many at under a minute. Though in the middle of no where (at least 13km from town and 7km from the nearest guesthouse), Home has all your needs met as long as your wallet can afford it. Home offers the choices of private bungalows, beds in dorm rooms, rent-a-tent campsites (fixed location with extra tarp) or bring-your-own-tent campsites (wherever you choose to pitch). Compared to the majority of local restaurants, the food served in the big open lofty canteen is second to none with generous portions filled with plenty of veggies and protein.
After we pitched our tent in the woods, Chopper swept the leaves away to create a parking space for our trikes, made a path to our doors, and put up a nice taut laundry line. With our household settled, we are ready for another climbing session.
