Ascents in 阳朔 Yangshuo by Patrick Munnings

Awesome, forgot to log from a few days ago

a bit of a shit show of an attempt. was too fingery for me today

Trad Climbing! In Yangshuo! This route has obviously not been climbed in many years, however is very good quality. Two consistently difficult, interesting, varied, intimidating and looong pitches. Absolutely worth doing, but I also think I do't want to do much more trad climbing here hahaha. The route would be better with some vegetation clearing and replacement of tat on the anchors.

Repeat to put draws up. Still in the top 2 11a's in Yangshuo IMO

Very good, but just didn't find a way through the final hard move.

One fall, and bypassing the crux move due to the 38 degrees and the waterfall of sweat pouring off me. A highpoint and best attempt yet

Stellar. Two hard sections where I felt I had a decent chance of falling. Other than that lots of great climbing.

Excellent climb. Deserves way more attention. Beautiful sustained movement on small technical holds

A bit of dirt and moss had grown on the holds of this route due to no traffic. Could not work out where the route went. I would suggest moving the 2nd last bolt about 1-1.5m left.

Got smashed by rain 20mins into the route. Sat in a cave and watched Borat. Then scootered home in the rain for a gym session

made progress on the crux move and a new high-point

Sent for the first time as part of working the extension. 3rd go.

an unfortunate necessity to access better climbing. sharp, dirty and not enjoyable.

long and pleasant. No hard moves and heaps of bolts.

Super quality moves. Rock felt looked and felt like araps except for the tufas.

Worthwhile but brief

Hard laybacking. Consistently difficult for the whole pitch.

I loved this route and thought it was better than the other 12 but it is definately not harder. I would say a full grade easier and probably 11d. Should get 4 stars though, was super fun!

The crux sections have great rock with some hard moves. The access 5.8 pitch was slippery and not fun and the top of the route was dirty. nearly had my finger pecked out of a jug by a bird.

Absolute quality. like Oresties but with more variety, slightly better holds and bolts.

Great to watch Hannah try hard on this.

some fun moves broken by big ledges

Gave it a red hot flash go but used a bad sequence at the crux. Pretty good climb

Potentially the best route I've been on here. Absolutely spectacular, definitely helps being tall, but with three dynos and three hard technical sections this it is incredible from go to woah. Hopefully I can give it a few more sessions. Just got to unlock one more hand move.

Great for the grade

Hard tufa sequence but excellent climbing

Not as consistent as Great Wall but maybe a harder crux and more pump at the top.

Really good. Kind of felt a bit like bluies climbing.

Good but not as good as the routes on the next face. Unique movement at the top though.

Superb route. Steep and keeps coming for you.

Very good buy definitely harder than the grade suggests.

Really awesome, fun moves of so many styles. Quality from ground to anchor.

Might spend more time on this. It kind of spanked me but the moves are awesome and burly

The initial boulder problem requires more try hard than I expected

Great but polished and slippery

Tiny holds at the crux had me bailing off this. The lead in is awesome and the top tufa looks great. Just have to work out one move.

Another FA gifted by Andrews hard work. A crimpy pockety crux on great rock gives way to steep gym style jug hauling on even better rock at the top. Really fun

Really fun steep moves and the top section is absolute quality

Still some loose rock and dirt on this new route, quite spikey too. Some ticky sections but mostly very easy

Fell throwing for the last 2 finger pocket on the last attempt. Will hopefully be my warm-up next session. The rock on this section of this wall is amazing!

I learned tufas are a horrible time when wet. If dry would be an outstanding climb.

Might come back to this. Did all the moves on my first lap. about 4m of crux section and then either side I shouldn't fall. really quality hard moves.
