I am also putting together some other things for Slopony to promote climbing in Vietnam and Ca Ba in particular. I will show you when it is finished, it will still a while off. At This stage we are planning to go to Thailand for about two weeks in April or May next year, as well as, heading to Ca Ba. We will let you know when we have firm dates. Moreover, we hope to be able to get a Trip into Malaysia some time in the later part of the year. It will only be a quick trip maybe four or five days, so either way I hope to climb with you again. The Weather, and of course work is conspiring to keep us indoors as well. I have recently bought my self a new rope, the beal Joker. It is a real light weight skinny FULL rope, 9.1 in fact. Got a pretty good deal on it, end of financial year thing. I am waiting for delivery of a Trango Cinch to use with it. We will ultimately use it with an ATC, but not until we get used to it. Will let you know how it goes. Hope all is well your end. Keep in touch Until later Andy. Hi Zee,

Am not sure if climbers here would bother buying the vietnam guide from you way over in Australia though. :) I havent been outdoors too much since I got back. Been indoors at the gym weekly. Perhaps its time I get some sun in me. Its just work that keeps pulling me back into the indoors. Its a bitch. Regards, Zee Hi Andy,

I did enjoy myself immensely at Cat Ba doing the Polish Pillar with you and the others. It was a great two days. I have been speaking to my climber buddies here in Malaysia about my experiences there in Cat Ba. Some of them are headed that way to do some climbs themselves. I'm sure they will enjoy themselves. The Hot Rock team looks to be arriving here in South East Asia around November December 2009. You can check their schedule here. http://www.climbhotrock.com/hotrockroot/arcofasia/arcofasia.htm Hopefully there will be some joint activity between the Hot Rock team and climbers in Malaysia. If ever you plan to come down to Malaysia, or head over to Krabi Thailand, do get in touch with me. Regards, Zee Hi Andy,

Great pictures. Only because you asked, Tim is not the co-owner of Nobel House. Tim is a long term guide for Slopony, and a really great guy to boot. Peter is the co owner of Nobel house. It would great if you could send the January dates for the Hot rock thing. I am very interested in coming if I can get the time off work. Just a little word to you, we are now back home and looking back over our time in Cat Ba. We climbed with many others but the two days with yourself, Richie, Tina and Kristal remain the absolute highlight. Looking forward to climbing with you again. Thanks Andy and Kristal Hey Zee
