After I stowed my gear at the Ning-Ning guesthouse, I headed to the trail for the Pak Noi cave. The climb is steep, scaling sharp rocks and crazy bamboo ladders and scaffolding. A fall from anywhere would result in human julienne fries on the jagged karst mountainside.
Hence the moment of clarity. Climbing, alone, this cobbled together vertical obstacle course, it occurred to me that my tenuous hold on this mortal coil depended on an unknown group of Lao villagers.
As luck would have it, I lived to blog another day. The view was, indeed, spectacular.
