>Great read. I would love to see more pics of your trip!

Here are some more pictures from the trip as requested. They are more or less in chronological order.

Alex enjoying his climbing on some easy-ish climb on Butterfly Wall. Sure beat having the "tourista".

Dominik approaching the daunting finish of a long climb on Butterfly Wall. Even more so when you skip hangers as he realised afterwards...

Myself approaching the same finish. This shot captures well the look and feel of this nice piece of limestone.

On the way to Lan Ha Bay (Moody's Beach and Tiger Beach). Spectacular landscapes and all sorts of fish farming activities.

Climbing on Moody's Beach. Not so many climbs (6 according to the guidebook) but excellent intro to climbing on grey limestone (pointy, very pointy).

View from Moody's Beach. When dropped by the basketboat, you have the whole (small) beach to yourself. Great.

Dominik just emerging from the 30 m cave onto the face. A great moment as you basically must bridge between two walls with a lot of air between your feet.

Myself approaching the finish of "Scree Loose" after three fantastic pitches. Go do it!
