Some photos of me

The grade in Yangshuo is soft compare to the US east coast grade, for the most part, which allowed me to finally send some 5.12s.

Update from Yangshuo

Hi everyone,

It's been two months since I arrived in Yangshuo, and I haven't been
climbing nearly as much as I should. There's the work I'm doing for
Chinaclimb, but there's also drinking parties at night. Yangshuo has
been a very different climbing experience for me, I've never been to a
climbing destination where there are so many parties and so much
alcohol at night. I'm sorry to say that I was slightly distracted by
it all. I had my first, second, and third hangover all in Yangshuo.
But after some thinking and realignment of my goals, my focus is back
on climbing. I managed to flash a 11a and a 11b last week, but it's
probably because the softer grade here. Still haven't send any 5.12s
yet, but I did get some good rope burn while trying.
