Located near a small village called Ban Sahakon in Mae On district, Crazy Horse Buttress is 34km away from Chiang Mai city. With more than 150 routes on structured limestone formation, it is easy to spend weeks climbing here. This climbing area has been developed with tremendous efforts and the right mind set – safe bolting, trash and human waste management, trails and belay platform building, water refill to minimize plastic use, etc.
Undeniably, Chiang Mai city offers plenty of accommodation choices and sightseeing opportunities, and to get to the crag you can either rent a scooter, hire a tuk tuk, or hitch the red trucks departing from CMRCA. However the city scene wears off quickly and the 45-minute commute can be weary after a day of climbing.
For faint-hearted climbers like us who failed the scooter driving test in the chaotic traffic, staying near the crag is very pleasant. One of the best things about staying in Mae On near is that it is not as touristy as Chiang Mai city. You won’t find Starbucks, pizza or knock-off Mexican restaurants here but you won’t miss out on local good eats and homey lodgings, all coming with an affordable price tag.
