Climbing @ Crazy Horse with CMRCA

For the end of orientation week, we went climbing at Crazy Horse, a series of limestone cliffs and caves outside of Chiang Mai.  We went with Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Adventures (CMRCA), a great organization that we work with and runs outstanding climbing and caving programs.

The goal of the day was to get to know each other, learn about leadership and responsibility, get outside, and start building a base of expedition skills for the semester.
