I don't have much to offer. I've just been on the beaten track. Middle of nowhere Utah I guess is the farthest removed I've been.

Either a previously unexplored glacier in the Vinson Massiff of Anarctica or an unclimbed Tepui (Autana) in a remote, boat only access, part of the Orinoco River Basin in Venezuela.

Alaska Range, Patagonia, SW Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, China and bumfuk New Mexico is about as good as I can do bro!
Actually, in terms of climbers, that Southwest Saudi Arabia gig was further afield than anywhere I've been. I know there are people here who have climbed in AK and Pata, but nobody I bet has climbed technical rock in the Asir Mountains with baboons watching!

Pictures help.
I just went through my mental list and realized I've only been to fifteen countries. Seems like a trip is in order soon...

Thailand wasn't that remote - you could belay from the steps of a bar.

Bouldering in the Bekaa Valley, in Lebanon in 1970. If I tried that now, I'd end up a hostage.

Felt like Joe Brown must have felt on a dry afternoon climbing up some handcracks and boulder problems solo on a biz trip.
Really great time there and to see those huge millstones just laying about was way cool.

The old rock quarry on Crystal Springs Road in San Mateo while I was sophomore in high school. Bet that 'remote' site has never been popular!

Buildering in Kyoto, Japan.
2 hour drive to Ross Lake, then a 45 minute water taxi ride to a trail-head drop-off, then a two-day hike in to do a 24-pitch 5.11 first ascent.

Rio de los Patos, Tucumán Province, Argentine Puna.
Windgate-like splitters in welded tuff at 4200 meters. Takes your breath away and gives you wind-burn.

Oklahoma, Mt Baldy (when shitty 1/4" bolts were considered bomber)
In Tokyo right now and might stay over the weekend. Maybe I'll find something better than the crappy top-roping I did 20 years ago near Kamakura.

I hate to admit this, but there doesn't seem to be any rock climbing in Colombia. Sure there are the Andes mtns and a lot of it is above tree line but I guess because of the guerrilla and drug trafficking violence it just never became popular to go on extreme backcountry climbing trips. Well one of my old buddies wants to go climb on the Pan de Azucar crag, it's about 200 feet high band, at about 15,000'. Basically looks like a limestone sport crag with snow at the base. Is this really the best I can do for him? I know there is some serious climbing down in Peru, and I bet there are walls there too, but that's actually far away. Ecuador has a pretty good backpacker scene, but I don't know of any rock climbing worth the trip. I wonder if its possible to find backcountry crags with google earth? The Andes are serious mountains, but I don't know where to start.
