The Pride

Just finished the final SPI exam with Joey Thomson(JT) last week. I felt so relieved that I barely made it. It's just the next step of my career to go the next level. This year the course and the exam was intense than last one I did.

We climbed on a route finding which is all candidate never climb these line before. Day One the weather was so bad the night before that made the climb more harder during SPI exam . Day two was about working with live clients so the examiner would like to see us how to interaction with clients. We had a very great day with them so eventually everyone made it.

Nice work boys!!

This is how we roll BABY!!

Weekend warriors#1

It has been almost 3 months that I have not climb any hard route. Last week I have a chance and went back there again to climb on the route that my friend recommended. The route was on the upper link above of Jens's route 5.11a. After warming up on the lower part I decided to continue to put up my  draws figure out the moves.

Always Beautiful

Belaying Gee on his on-sight attempt 5.11a

Heavy rain on way back!!

 The route was 60 degree over hang about 45 feet from the anchor of lower section to the chain overall 120 feet. This route it's super prominent after I tried on my first attempt. There was three moves of three or four fingers of Under cling after you past three Undercling then reach your left hand grab very positive crimp and put your right foot on to a positive right  foot hold. Then reach you right hand grab on pinch above you left hand. And you might have to set up you left foot up a bit there was a very positive foot hold too!! I fell on this CRUX about 5-6 times of my three attempts today. After that you have to cross over you left hand up to a very bad crimp. The reason why I said very bad because I might have no straight to hold on to this crimp and very good right hand hold. When you get past 60 degree over hang there was very good jugs so you can kind of rested there. It's still hard on the upper part near the anchor especially  when you almost run out of your energy. I did tried three attempts and I felt like I progresses on each attempt on the CRUXES moves. Well, I couldn't make it up to clip the chain today. But I can't wait to get back to get it done in next few weeks definitely. In my experience this route 's 5.12b/c.

Figure out on the upper CRUXES!!

After get a break from climbing another activity I love to do is running, With Snail running team we joined Mini Marathon at Kawila School 10Km. It was lots of rain in the morning but because of our spirit it doesn't stop us to give up and step back.

Snail Families!!!!

Thanks folks for such a great weekend see you guys next event, SPEED LIMIT and NEVER GIVE UP.

Strive

It's been a while that I have not update my life since I've got back from my last trip. May be because of I've lost my motivation. therefore, As far as I revise myself to return, preparing  and  focusing on my SPI Re-Exam which is coming in  November. So that I believed If I bring things from my last exam experiences to share out to our junior guides who also have to Re-do SPI course again this year.  This will help each other accomplished their own goals. I have about 3 and haft months left  to practice over and over again of mine SPI skills that I have learned before the Exam. Honestly!! I can't wait to get it done.

Radical!!!

 Sawako and I have been thinking about to do a climbing trip by the end of this year. And it will be our first climbing trip. Also very impressed by her passion in climbing which is very importance for her STOKED!!!

Went to the lake

With my lovely woman

Climb On!!

I went to Chiang Dao the another day and I have climbed one of a COOL line  5.12c/d route.  I tried once last year couldn't even make to the first CRUX. This time I went back and take my effort on the route and finished the first CRUX. The route was kind of like crank style a bit. Which is I've never climbed any crank style before. It's very interesting route the bolts are very long run out between each other. And I'm planing to go back next month.

Wish me luck.

Stay Tuned!!

Inside (Adventure)

It's been 5 weeks already that I've lived her Yang Shuo, which of course it is different from the first time I came here a year ago. By this time my main goals are to learn WFR and I did it successfully. And joined  Insight-Aventures team for exchange program so I did a one trip with them  to Nanbei hu, which is about 20 hour by train from Guilin, which it It is a wonderful experience that I have been in here this time. 

Aside from what I mentioned earlier. I also had a chance to meet old friends and new friends  we went out climbing, we did a mountain biking, we did cooking at their house, we did caving and kayaking and  drinking I had a good times for sure.  I've also learned what I had never done before.  Such as repair bicycles.

Thank you so much Insight Adventures

I appreciate the opportunity that I have from CMRCA family that gave me continue doing what I love, Also thanks so much Insight-Adventures for a great experience was invaluable and I would like to say thanks to everyone who has supported me in the part of this experience is beyond description to say it out.
