This is a pretty epic climb. Spanning from 6ft down to 1.5ft over 40m you get to practice everything chimney. Once you commit and get into position it flows nicely.

Bolts are a little manky, particularly on upper pitches. The gear is bomber.

Unfortunately the photo pitch was dirty AF which made it a tad spicy/runout. The rest of the climbing was great! In a year when it has a bit more traffic this will really come into shape. Expect long queues - Start early

Ha Ling Peak
5.6 ★★ Northeast Face (NE Face) - with Char Trad 440m ★★★ Classic
Fun climbing, beautiful location, great day out, easy descent.

Bolts can be pretty spaced, some pitches have no pro. only placed cams on 1 pitch but the climbing was generally pretty chill. Anything "tougher" had decent enough protection. A light rack to 2" is plenty. Also linked all but the upper 3/4 pitches with a 70m rope.

Tue 3rd Sep 2019 - Yak Peak
5.10a ★★★ Yak-Check Trad 650m ★★ Very Good
Beautiful climb up an incredible face. Would be a classic if there was like 3 or 4 more bolts over the entire route to stop several large factor 2 falls. Pulled occasional gear to prevent this.

Not sure what the deal is with pitch 10 but it's the most scared I have ever been on a rope. Mossy wet dihedral or totally unprotected 5.10x crumbly steep slab with no gear for 15+ metres.

Perhaps we just got lost. All in all a great adventure.
