Nihau! A few photos to share of my recent time back in Yangshuo where I used to work as a climbing guide back in 2005. 'Great times being back with friends and climbing in China.'
Whether its feeling the flow through powder snow or yoga, on a wave, or on the rock - 'flow' is an incredible feeling that I aim for and will forever love. To be climbing again, after many months of hibernation was too good to be true to feel the 'flow' again . To share it in such a special place as Yangshuo, with old friends was amazing.
I was so proud to come back after six years and see my Chinese friends rockin' it ! Xiang now owns his own company www.terratribes.com and has just guided some of the USA climbing team through China. Aban now climbs for China, sponsored by North Face and has his own hostel. Tommy is managing ChinaClimb, www.chinaclimb.com and loving life. And Xiao is about to start his new company 'Harmony adventures'. I find these guys so inspiring - six years ago they had limited English, and were nervous to speak in front of groups, and now they successfully run their businesses and guide through China! Legends ! :) So cool to see them living their dream.
Shay Shay Ni to you all for having me, and sharing your incredible crags and country with me. With gratitude to you all. Ni FENG LAA!! ox
