It’s no secret that the International Sustainable Development Studies Institute offers one of the coolest study abroad experiences available worldwide.  Barely two weeks into living in Thailand, the ISDSI students have already experienced living with host families, decoding public transportation, studying local politics and ecology, and the whole-body strain of crossfit.  Gluttons for challenge?  One hundred percent… so it makes perfect sense that an Ultimate Rope and Rock Adventure is part of the curriculum!

With rain early in the morning, one group started out climbing inside the massive dome of Anxiety State Crisis Cave.  Meanwhile, other students were learning how to rappel, exploring the muddy marvels of smaller cave systems, and hauling themselves across the Tyrolean Traverse.  The sun came out around lunchtime, and the day culminated with several heroic ascents of Crazy Horse classics like The Muppet Show (5b / 5.8), Ayah! (6a / 5.10a), Magic Drop (6b / 5.10c).

Thanks ISDSI for an amazing day at Crazy Horse!  It was a real treat to share your enthusiasm for exploring Thailand.  We hope to see lots more of you this fall!
