Your best resources for rock climbing and bouldering Koh Tao
Goodtime have created and expanded a downloadable (PDF) climbing and bouldering guide to Koh Tao first published in 2010 and with the latest 2019 edition available to download below. It is still the best resource when it comes to bouldering maps and has been based on James March’s Koh Tao Bouldering guide form the late 1990’s.
There is now a much better climbing resource: Thailand: Koh Tao Rock Climbing Guidebook, by Kelsey Gray. Kelsey has been working with our development team for years now expanding routes on the island and with his passion for photography, his guide is first rate and is downloadable on your phone with the Rakkup App.
There are other guides out there for routes on the island as at one time or another, shops have popped up, developed some routes then shut down again. Today the climbing shops and groups on the island come together for a weekly climb at the Koh Tao Climbing Club. You need some basic gear and know how to Top Rope belay at the very least. Join the club for updates!
