As a family with two young kids I was so glad we booked a private guided half day climb with Mon. He was very experienced and calmly gave us instructions... read more even when the little ones don't particularly follow them.

We've never climbed outdoors before so this was completely new to us. Mon made sure that we all tried out different climbs of varying difficulties and gave us (well actually it's mainly me lol) lots of encouragement.

As a bonus, his partner Lauren was guiding another customer and she also helped out as the kids were attracted to her like a magnet (sorry Lauren).

This was our favourite experience in Ao Nang by far and one of our favourites in our Thailand trip. Thank you Mon and Lauren for a great time.

  Karst Rock climbing has successfully managed to live upto my expectation and ignite my passion for the sport of outdoor rock climbing. I was traveling to Krabi to experience rock... read more climbing and going ahead with Karst was an ideal choice. Our guide Mon was very helpful and accommodating. He initially provided us with the necessary gears and taught us the knot tying techniques.
Kept the climbing experience constantly interesting and challenging with progressive levels of climbing and different routes. Had beautiful views of the beach and Andaman sea on the other side. An exhilarating experience and will be definitely looking forward to new climbs.

  At 58, I am a brand new climber. My kids all do it so I had to give it a try. My experience with Mon and Karst Climbing... read more was fantastic. He was so encouraging and patient I was pretty much at ease from the beginning....More

  It was wonderful experience to see the locals and some of the tourists who dared to climb the rocks under the guidance of trainers.More

  We had an awesome time climbing with Mon from Karst Climbing. We opted for the three day lead climbing course and were joined for a half day with another couple... read more but after that it was just us and Mon. He was a fantastic instructor - the perfect balance of relaxed while also being completely focussed and vigilant the whole time we were climbing. We have a few years experience bouldering indoor but Mon was really patient when teaching us about the knots and techniques involved in lead climbing. We had time to build our confidence too rope climbing in the morning and by the end of the first day we were confidently lead climbing on more challenging routes. He pushed us to our limits (in the best way) and we felt really happy with the difficulty of routes he was choosing for us. Unfortunately I injured my ankle on the second day but Mon was very flexible and allowed us to reschedule to the following week. When we were then unable to do that date anymore he gave us a full refund for the day we missed. Amazing customer service and very kind and understanding. Thanks Mon!

  I was staying across the street from their office and heard the rock climbing was great so gave them a try. I had a blast and Mon was a really... read more experienced guide who was also fun to be around. Lauren was also really great to...More

  We had a great day rock climbing! Even if it looked scary at first, our guide Mon made us always feel safe. He was very professional and patient, but also... read more a very easy-going, friendly person that we enjoyed spending the day with. It was an amazing feeling standing on top of the rock and watching the amazing scenery. The one-day course included everything (hotel pick-up, equipment, guide, rock climbing, visiting a cave and rapelling from it and even lunch!), so we got good value for the price. We would definitely recommend it!

  From our hotel in Ao Nang we visitted the owner Mon at his shop. We could make an appointment for the next day, so convenient. I immediately got such a... read more good vibe from Mon, which is very important I think when you go climbing outdoors....More

  I had 2 great climbing days with Mon. I never climbed with a rope before, but Mon showed me how to set up everything for safe climbing. Mon knew... read more every route in his sleep and always gave me tips from below where the best grips were. I can recommend Karst Climbing for beginners as well as advanced climbers.

  I went from doing one half day climb to three because that was how fun it is. It was my first time climbing outdoor and I have Mon to thank... read more for getting me hooked. He was a great guide, keeping the group size small. He personalised his clients’ experience, giving them climbs that suit their level. He was patient in teaching and was always very encouraging. All around a very chill guy. He would often remind me to enjoy the view, because I tend forget about that part after having the sole focus of topping the route. I had a lot of fun and would definitely be back for more.
