Pure Poser Porn
Yes, I did steal that glorious title from the cover story of an Austrian climbing magazine, but it stuck in my head ever since. The article was about bad-ass rock climbing near Krabi, Thailand, which is what I did, too. Maybe not as bad-ass though, but still, I tried. The article furthermore philosophizes how every climber worldwide strives for that one, that epic climbing picture or his or herself. Pure Poser Porn indeed. Well here is mine:
Jumping back down forced me on painkillers for about a week. Worth it, right? No pain, no gain, I guess. Celebrating New Year’s grooving to that climbing-dudes-backpacker-style-vibe right on Ton Sai beach, witnessing myriads of fire balloons eventually transforming into distant stars was also pretty hard to beat. Oh how I will do that again! Oh, and happy new year folks. I feel it’s gonna be a good one.
