Posted By Liv Sansoz the 2011-05-28 I love sharing my passion with my friends who come from other scenes. Most of the time I'm away, climbing with some other strong climbers. Lately, my elbow started to be painful and it was diagnosed as a tendinitis. I was forced to slow down and I realized it was the perfect moment to share some "easy" routes with nice friends.

I write this from a restaurant on Cat Ba Island, the largest island off the coast of Northern Vietnam. The world heritage listed Ha Long Bay is here, and with its thousand plus limestone towers, this is a special place for climbers. With the arrival of Chris Glastonbury, Steve Ionnonu and Chris Beric (the Townsville boys), it's been an eventful couple of days.
