Rock Climbing at Moody Beach – The Ocean Meets the Wall

If you're looking for a climbing spot that combines adventure, peaceful scenery, and the ocean breeze, Moody Beach might be your perfect choice.

Hidden among the limestone islands of Lan Ha Bay, Moody Beach is a small, secluded beach only accessible by boat. Its limestone wall rises directly from the sand, facing the open sea — making every climb here a unique oceanfront experience.

7:30am You need to be at the office to try on shoes and pick up equipment.

8:00am The car will pick you up at the office to go to Beo wharf, then get on the boat to go to the climbing point. It takes 30 minutes to get to the climbing point where you will find climbs ranging from 4+ to 6b+. Then, our professional guides will set up the top rope and support you while you're climbing.

Start climbing while the guides belay and instruct you from below. 

• Based on each one’s climbing experience and strength, the guides will recommend you the routes you should try. There is no time limit in climbing – this is the first step to introduce you to climbing technique, challenge and defeat your own fear. Our guides will be your coaches and supporters to help you complete the climbing routes. During the trip, the guides will give you a course about tying the figure 8-knots, communicating in technical terms, and you’ll learn the names of different movements on the wall. A quick introduction about the climbing devices will help you understand the importance of safety in climbing.
• The reward for every climb is the wonderful view of Lan Ha Bay from the top of the route. The guides will lower you down, then you can relax on the beach or swimming in the refreshing water.
• Our rock climbing trip will take place on Moody Beach, Lan Ha Bay. This beach is a great crag for beginning and intermediate climbers, with 6 routes graded from 4c to 6b. Aside from one overhanging climb, routes are all vertical. Rock quality is very good, with numerous good holds and ledges to rest.

1. MAO DE – 5a, 21m, 10 bolts. Start from a stone a few meters right of the line. Climb diagonally up and leftward to an exposed step and small chimney finish.
2. BAREFOOT VIETNAMESE – 6b+, 15m, 10 bolts. The most challenging route in the crag, with nice overhang movements.
3. KHONG CO GI – 4c, 14m, 6 bolts. Climb up the big boulder and follow the chimney to the top. The upper section can be a bit tricky.
4. HONEYMOONER’S DELIGHT – 5a, 11m, 6 bolts. Climb the arete to the top of the pillar. Traverse up and left through  a series of pockets to the top.
5. ROUTINE HEAVEN – 6a, 20m, 9 bolts. Two meters of tricky climbing at the second bolt make the grade. The rest is pure fun.
6. DO IT FOR BILLY JOEL – 5a, 20m, 8 bolts. Follow the line of least resistance up the big chimney.
