Here at jjobrienclimbing we are currently experiencing some technical difficulties with Blogger.I'm with you, I can't believe the good people at Google would let this happen to such a site.I won't be pushing this post, so welcome, if you found it. In the meantime sit back and reminisce with me a year after my visit to China and Tibet.
Enjoy this soothing image of our room at the Banyan Tree in Deqin in Yunnan province in China or Tibet, as you will. It would not be overstating it to say that Sandra liked this place.3,500M of altitude, nothing but yaks and snow. Absolutely beautiful.
The bathroom was downstairs. Wild yaks couldn't dragus away.
But, as always, there was climbing to be done. So I pulled on my Chinese volleys and sampled the local granite at Tiger Leaping Gorge. The route marking wasvelly helpful.

| Climbers, don't tell my Red Chili sponsors you saw me climbing in volleys. ( Bouldering, doesn't count.) |
Everest looms. Chinese base camp is just up the road. Thin air, bright sun, stillness, reverence.
Bike Rack Mountain, Central China.
I can't remember when I've ever had so much fun.
I didn't want to leave. Some of the stuff just made me laugh so much, it was so inappropriately dangerous.
Model wears: Prana 3/4 pant. I think the photo shoot reveals that the pants are aboutthree inches too long. Have your say.
That guy has got a printer and a laminater in that box. His mate will take your photo. A few Yuan and it's yours.
Returning via Hong Kong
They are going to need a bigger sun
to get through that air.
Ah, back home at the jjobrienclimbingrainforest retreat.
