All Time Hike: Blockmountain 2026
Rektsurvivor All Time Hike: Blockmountain 2026
This is a hike taking place outdoors and will continue even with light rain. This is a rain or shine event, we don't stop when things get a little wet! 🌧️
From Charts to Trails
Let's climb our way back to the moon! 📈➡️⛰️
Join the Rektsurvivor crew for an epic mountain hike on the legendary Monk's Trail in Chiang Mai! Time to step away from the charts, breathe some fresh Thai mountain air, and remember there's more to life than red candles. Plus, hiking is the only green we're seeing lately!
We'll be taking the safe route—the first segment of the Monk's Trail to Wat Pha Lat Temple, a stunning hidden gem nestled in the forests of Doi Suthep. This is a moderate 40-minute hike perfect for crypto survivors of all fitness levels. Those feeling extra bullish can continue to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep at the summit!
