#throwback #tbt back to 2005 when I met up with my dear friend @oliviahsu plus hubby @simoncarteronsight who had already been in town for a week getting the the suss on things in #yangshuo. My first morning there and hubby hits me up with a special request, “can you blast up this grade 31 quickly this morning?”, because he’d worked out an angle on this beautiful piece of rock and it was the first – and possibly last – blue bird day of the trip.
I thoroughly enjoyed attempting the route and needless to say that Simon nailed the shot once again. Even after all these years I’m still amazed at Simon’s ability to visit a new climbing area, eek out some special angles and come away with a swag of high end shots that truly capture the place.
The climb is Nine Deep, One Shallow (5.13d) at Banyan Tree Crag.
