Dear all, I am leaving for Argentina in a few hours so this blog will be quiet for another while. I know I haven’t written any climbing article regarding my China trip yet; however, the rest of the blog articles of the China series will all be related to climbing. Some tentative titles are Read More… “It says that Yangshuo is the most westernized city in China,” Ian pointed at the computer screen quoting the sentence he just learned from SummitPost. “Oh No!” I screamed out this reflex response and soon enough my brain was loaded up with images derived from my wild imagination and my head was covered Read More… I have visited China twice and the two trips are more than a decade apart. It’s not easy to describe my feelings toward China; sometimes I feel consciously familiar but emotionally detached, while sometimes I feel the exact opposite. I have lived in the States for more than a decade too. When people Read More… Dear all, I am back home in Taipei now and that means that my Yangshuo climbing trip is officially finished. This trip is my first climbing trip focusing on sport climbing; I have to say I’ve learned a great deal from my climbing partners and from simply doing it.

On the bus ride, the atmosphere reached the climax; Read More… Crack climbing was first introduced to me in the summer of 2007 by three NOLS instructors, who are also enthusiastic crack climbers; I was highly intrigued. My first encounter of a 5.7 crack felt like a 5.9. Then when I tried a real 5.9 crack with an off-width start it was a mission impossible. Read More… “How to find climbing partners?” I’ve never considered myself a shy person, but this question used to trouble me. Back in summer 2005, I signed up to a beginner’s rock climbing course at a local gym for me and my husband Jeremy, with the intention to turn him into my belay slave. It didn’t Read More… Many climbers have told me that they are fascinated about this aspect of climbing: Climbing experience strikingly reflects real life, which makes them look at their lives more closely in different perspectives and grow due to this self-retrospection.
