Tim Emmett and Kyra Condie explore Ha Long Bay, Vietnam through the country’s oceanside limestone cliffs and formations. Emmett is widely considered a psicobloc (deep water soloing) pioneer, and he helped to put climbing on the map in Vietnam in the early 2000s. Now, he passes the torch to Condie, an Olympic-qualified athlete and avid boulder, and she tackles one of the hardest deep water solos in Vietnam, The Lightening Crack, 5.13.
