Yangshuo, China.

It’s tough to summarize the sheer scope of climbing options across Asia.

At this point, our ambitions are mostly limited to cragging, with little interest in the continent’s greater mountain ranges. Even within cragging, we’ve only scratched the surface, sampling the edges while leaving many countries and regions on our wishlist.

Ha Long Bay, Vietnam.

Broomberg

Karnataka, India.

I’ve included bicontinental Russia here because the small amount of climbing we’ve done there was in the far reaches of Asia. Conversely, I’ve grouped the Middle Eastern countries separately and excluded them from this summary.
