Buddha Cave

Red River Delta, VN

Cat Ba Island’s newest crag is an imposing cave overlooking Cat Ba Town. It can be reached in a few minutes, is completely sheltered from the rain, and has a small but varied selection of climbs. A great option for a hot or rainy day! Buddha Cave’s roof is mostly flat and featureless and consequently most climbs end at the beginning of the roof; they are rather short and vertical. Nonetheless, there are a few interesting lines on tufas worth climbing. Buddha Cave is southwestoriented and remains mostly in the shade all day. Only the climbs’ lower sections get early afternoon sun exposure. The tufas may need a few days to dry after heavy rain.
