The last set of photos were taken in the mountainous area some distance from the city of Lijiang in Sichuan province. We were attempting the FA of a mountain called Chanadorje. Given the number of adventure travelers in the world I'm likewise skeptical of claiming "firsts", but this is also what the locals told us. Anyway, it's an incredibly beautiful area! At the time there were three unclimbed peaks, the other two being Jambeyang and Shenrezi. Not sure if any of them have been climbed yet.

Thank you for the details, Brock. I'd guess if the locals said you were the 1st foreigners they'd seen, they were correct. I found that word travels fast and far in that part of the world, when it comes to reports of strange looking people :-)

In Laos the crags are all owned by the local villagers, and you have to pay a small daily fee to climb there. This is the lady (and her son) who collects the fee at one of the crags near Vang Vien.
EVERYONE IS SMILING!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jim,
Could that 'Tim' (in the dancing pic) be Tim Wethey?
Use to know him pretty well.
He's a very funny man!
