An area near Meuang On Cave was discovered for climbing by Kraisak Boonthip (Pi Tom) in October of 1998. Along with a few friends, Pi Tom established six routes on the main face. In October of 1999, Josh Morris moved to Thailand to teach English at Payap University. One of the English Department majors, Joe Yannawut, had helped Pi Tom with the development and pointed Josh to the area. Josh than helped to open and manage the rock climbing wall at The Peak Rock Climbing Plaza. While there, Josh worked hard to attract interested people to help with the development at Meuang On Cave. Francis Haden answered the call in February of 2002 and together with Josh, re-bolted the original routes and added 13 new pitches.
Crazy Horse Buttress is born...
One day while speaking with Pi Tom, Josh heard Pi Tom say the words Crazy Horse in reference to the route Crazy Hot. This made sense to Josh as there is a huge rock in the shape of a horse's head at the top of the wall. Thus the name Crazy Horse Buttress was born and the horse's head has become the icon of the crag known today. Josh left The Peak soon after and continued to develop with Francis, Kat, Sorn and others. The Anthill was our next accomplishment providing some of the most stunning routes in Thailand.
Mr. Anan Jantawee or as Loong (Uncle) Nan
He is the red truck driver, he worked with Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Adventure since 2002, his tireless effort in helping to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere at the Crazy Horse Buttress. Loong Nan has been hard at work building the trail systems, belay platforms, rest benches, and tree houses that made climbing at the Crazy Horse clean by regulating trash pick up. He is super nice guy has done all of this without accepting any compensation beyond his usual fee for driving the taxi. I was realized i did not work for the construction. I went to help him made the new step ate the crag, and we were carried so many woods up to the hill, it was such a hard work, i recognized some one told me about rock climbing instructor it hard work, because you had to pay attention and patience, but after i help him it made no more excuse for my self when i have had to goes for the coursed
Thank you so much for his incredible efforts to care for area and being an inspiration to all of us
Cheers!
