Description

Some short routes along the entrance road to the main parking area. Generally easier grade routes, some routes affected by the new road, shops, cafes.

Access issues inherited from Kampong Trach

Thanks to climbers and other locals petitioning to preserve Phnom Kampong Trach it has been saved from impending mining work and declared a tourist reserve. BUT that hasn’t completely made the mountain accessible, in fact in some areas it has made climbing more difficult with belay areas now being shops and cafes, as well as much of the caves being reserved for tourism. The dirt road around the mountain is not very good. And if you take a moto or four wheel drive watch out for the horse carts (a big tourist draw for Khmer coming from the city) they usually circle it clockwise. WARNING: Bottom hangers (first clip) on sport routes are often missing, especially the ones that people can reach from a chair.

Approach

Easiest approach ever, belay from the road.

Ethic inherited from Kampong Trach

As with most of Cambodia there are a lot of small shrines and revered sites throughout. Keep an eye out and be respectful.

History

History timeline chart

When the routes were bolted the road was nearly a meter shorter and many starts were at head height. Now they are very easily reached. But also with the increase of tourism and building of cafes etc. some routes are now blocked.

Very easy slab route for beginners, starts right behind the I heart KT selfie sign. Start on the little slope of stone directly behind the sign. first clip can be reached from there. Top is pretty unclear.

Mid size crack above the large cave entrance along the side of the road. Start is about chest height, most difficult part of the climb is getting onto it. Very short route.

This one is located somewhere in between tha big cave opening and the obvious off-width/chimney feature to the far right. No other details known.

You'll need to ask the cafe owner to move her tables and chairs if you want to belay this one. Resonable sized offwidth the route tends to the left side of it, mostly on the face. Not many details available. Grade is a total guess.

Start the same as Seam Rorns sport route: in the makeshift cafe with tarp rood. So... can't really climb this one. Follow sharp tufa-esqu limestone edge. Top unknown.
