Our 2014 Vietnam DWS team has recently returned triumphant with 85 new routes under their belts.

The team explored the area by a junk ship, basket boats and sea kayaks and climbed all the great rock that came within reach, with grades ranging from 5 to 7c. TXC has now established almost 200 routes in the area and we are now talking to other activists to compile together a DWS guidebook to the area. 

We are now looking forward to more DWS action out in SE Asia with our February 2016 foray to the Philippines. If Robinson Crusoe had been a climber then he would be right at home on this trip. We will be sleeping out on pristine white sand beaches, diving for fresh lobsters, crabs and fish and oh yes climbing our own routes on the plentiful stunning limestone walls jutting out over crystal clear tropical water.

Later on in 2015 we will be going back to our home from home and to our Bedouin friends in The Sinai Desert. We will continue the massive project of repeating all the existing routes so that all route descriptions in our upcoming guidebook will be accurate. Although it’s not all about repeating the existing climbs. In November 2015 we will organise an all women’s climbing trip to the area that will be led by Anne Arran. The team will be packing their climbing kit onto camels, sleeping out under the stars, cooking on fires and climbing the vast amount of unclimbed granite still left in the highlands of the desert. Click here to learn how you can be a part of it.

If you are keen to escape the gloom and rain of the UK in February and want to have a great adventure ASAP then Click here to learn how you can join our Sudan expedition.

Climb safe and here’s to an exciting 2015.
