Hey guys,

Is there any of you currently living in Ho Chi Minh City and climbing at the gym there? How're the gyms?

From what I found online, it seems most of the gyms there charge as much as ones in the states but given the locals there have way lower expense standard than Americans.

Actually, HCM (Saigon) has some of the most expensive real estate in the world. There are a fair number of affluent locals.

Hey Sam,

Yeah, my folks still live back there, I am originally from there but have not been back there for 5+ years. So all I know is that they have new climbing gyms setup there nowadays, just to see if anyone here has climbed there recently and what you think

Hey Bang - I suggest dropping a line to Jean Verly, who runs Vietclimb - a gym/climbing outing club in Hanoi. vietclimb.vn/
