About this audio guide
This guide to East Railay Viewpoint follows the gap between an easy eight-hundred-meter trail sign and the rope-and-mud climb it actually takes to reach the top. You'll hear about the string of falls climbers suffered here in 2017 and 2018, and why Krabi officials chose warning signs over closing the route. It looks at how sun and salt wear down the ropes you're gripping, with no fixed schedule for replacing them.
