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 as follows:

Sport Climbing versus Traditional Climbing
Trip Report of the overall climbing theme in Yangshuo
Trip Reports of my favorite climbs
China’s (or Yangshuo’s) potential on rock climbing

Wish me good luck on the Aconcagua climb and I wish everybody a merry Christmas and happy holidays.

Well, I am supposed to be in Anchorage tonight (5/8); however, I am stuck in some random hotel near Salt Lake City airport. My first flight was delayed so I missed the connecting flight to Anchorage, and won’t arrive there until tomorrow afternoon (5/9).

I really love Alaska and I guess that is why I visit Alaska three summers in a roll. This time I am going to stay for another 34 days. Friends asked me, “Are you going to try Denali again?” Of course I want to; however, not this summer. What I am going to do is also something as exciting if not more exciting than Denali. I am taking the NOLS Alaska Instructor Course, which means if I successfully complete the course, I will be a NOLS instructor. Maybe I will start teaching wilderness courses, but hopefully I can teach technical courses very soon!

That being said, my blog is going to be quiet for a while. (I did put a couple articles in the queue though). Don’t forget me and give me some of your best wishes!

Dear Readers,

I’ll be away for a month to attend NOLS’ Alaska Mountaineering course, beginning July 15, 2006 and ending August 13, 2006. During this time period, I’ll not be able to update this site. Please wait for my return to present you some fresh stuff about mountaineering!!

If you’d like to write me a letter to encourage me (although I might not be able to read it until the course finishes), please write to:
