“Erik, Onslo,
I spent the most perfect weekend in and around Cat Ba, so it is really I who have to thank you.
Now, being more practical, apart from your welcoming and your friendship, which are priceless, I for one would easily dish out 100$ for what we did over the weekend. I mean, boating to a desert beach, climbing at the same beach, trekking in virgin jungle, bouldering in a magnificent valley with only butterflies (and buffalos, and geese!) as companions!
Last but not least, if you ever happen to be in Italy, just let me know and you can be my guests (both sleeping at my place and climbing!). As soon as I find some time I'll upload my photos and let you know the address where you can see them and download them.
Ciao for now and take care! “ |

Much love...” |

“Slo and Pony,
Thank you so much for everything. I can’t believe I’ve waited so long (55 years) to try the wonderful sport of rock climbing. Climbing over the waters of Ha Long Bay was one of the most exhilarating and memorable experiences of my life. You both are true professionals in your field making Scott and I feel so comfortable and safe the entire trip. Thanks for introducing us to some cool new music too and helping us with all of our travel plans, motorbike rental, hotel….well, just about everything!
We will definitely be back soon and will surely tell our friends about your program. Good luck and watch out for pink jelly fish!!” |

“Hello Slo Pony Adventures,

IF you are heading to Vietnam or are interested in Deep Water Soloing at all you need to get connected with Slopony.com out of Cat Ba, Vietnam. They are an amazing group of locals and climbers from around the world dedicated to making your trip a memorable one that won't break the bank.
We were finalizing our adoption while there and just kind of landed on their doorstep, so to speak, and they went out of their way to set us up with an Adventure even though they were totally busy with a film shoot. Erik and Onslo helped us set up absolutely everything: travel to Cat Ba from Hanoi, hotel accommodations, climbing trip with an amazing guide Victor, and our return to Hanoi. Not to mention our stay at the Noble House, which I believe Slopony's team is moving into was excellent...not to mention breakfast for a dollar.
Now for the climbing aspect of the trip….thousands of limestone towers jutting out of a aqua-marine sea…really…must I say anything else! But they just don't focus on DWS, they'll take you to do some sport climbing or bouldering (if you're a new to climbing they will take you on a beginner instruction course as well) with some kayaking on the side…seriously these are the people to hook up with!
Thank you so much Erik and Onslo for keeping this a climbers destination…with much love to Victor and Hung or boat crew…to the Queen (Oanh) and Peter for there hospitality

Thanx for the time…much love, |
