Travel Bastardos: Climbing at the Baby Frog.

When we got back to Yangshuo our primary aim was to chill out for a week as we were exhausted from being on the go for so long, but we also explored some of the cimbing sites which were amazing- beautiful scenery and awesome climbing with a good range of grades, great for us as we'd had two months of drinking beer in deserts and not doing much exercise, but also really interesting to watch the seasoned pros scale the giant Karsts on the harder routes. It was very easy to do, we rented gear for the day which was cheap (twenty quid all in for rope, quickdraws, harnesses and helmets between us) and cycled off to the nearest climbing spot which was the Baby Frog. It took us four hours, but between us we conquered two routes, which to our credit in our unexercised state and battling with the baking heat was quite a feat. It was really fun and it'd be worth a trip to China for the climbing in Yangshuo alone.

We spent the rest of the time in Yangshuo relaxing and eating steamed dumplings (the best in China, maybe?) before reuctantly getting on another sleeper bus to Guangzhou for our fight to nepal. Athough, in the sleeper bus's defence, it was very cheap.

I think this is me, and definetly Sadie.
