双廊 Shuang Lang
On the East Side of ErHai Lake, about one hour from Dali, lies the town of Shuanglang. In the hills overlooking the town, two cliffs have been developed: There are 20 routes at "Shuanglang Soft" crag, grades 5.7 – 5.11d. The rock is limestone. Due to the way the rock has accumulated in very clear layers, the climbing style can best be described as crimpy with a handful of pockets and cracks. The angle varies from vertical to slightly positive to barely overhanging. The crag takes sun most of the day, and it can get hot! Thankfully, there is a nice hut in front of the crag that provides much-needed shade.It usually dries quickly after the shade. Most of the routes are on the main face, with 3 additional routes around the small bulge to the right. There are 21 routes (20 sport routes and 1 trad route) at "Shuanglang Hard" Crag, grades 5.9 – 5.12d. At first glance, the rock appears to be limestone but when split open appears similar to quartzite. The routes vary from slightly to very overhanging, with neat features and some tufa. The crag faces the sun and it can be hot, though there are a few overhanging sections of the cliff where it is possible to find shade. Make sure you have at least 14 draws and a 60m rope in order to be able to climb all of the routes here. |

5.11b
快死 6 inches from 6 feet under
Climb the tufa straight off the ground to a cruxy 4th bolt. There may be an easier way to do the crux. Rest in the cave before continuing through another crux and an interesting finish. Be very careful clipping the third bolt, as Adam almost took a ground fall on the attempted first ascent after a blown foothold. |
5.7
★★ 偷菜 Table Score
Climb straight up through some massive ledges, into some nice cracks, then up onto the ledges on the left. If possible, clip the anchor from inside the cave rather than from the chossy rock pile to the right. |
5.7 ★ 甘肃之恋 From Gansu with Love |
5.10c ★★ 训练手塞 Hand Jamming for Dummies |
5.10c
★★ 你的双是多廊的?How Lang is Your Shuang?
Shares an anchor with Hand-Jamming for Dummies. |
5.9
★★ 你一开线,他们就会过来 If you Bolt it, they will come
This route is perhaps the most fun in Shuanglang, interesting moves the whole way up. Just be aware of the massive block on the ledge that may be standing on to clip the anchor. |
5.10a
★ 山姆大叔的报仇 Uncle Sam’s Revenge
This route shares an anchor with “If you bolt it, they will come” though it is definitely less interesting. |
5.8
★ 仙人掌裤子 Cactus Pants
Some tricky moves down low lead to fun 5.5 moves on the second half. A little dirty at parts. |
5.9
不是冬天的感觉 It doesn’t feel like winter
Short route with a high first bolt. |
5.10d
★ 欢迎到岩壁来!Welcome to the Rock
Cruxy second clip. Finishes at the tufa, high and off to the right, with a pumpy second half. |
5.11c
耶稣哭了 Jesus Wept
Weak beginning but an interesting crux. |
5.10d
鹰屎的河流 River of Poo
Crux is harder for short climbers. Nesting birds make full “use” of this route during some parts of the year. |
5.11c
复原按钮在哪里?Where’s the Reset Button?
Pumpy and sustained with great moves the whole way. |
5.11d
★ 千年鹰号 Millennium Falcon
This route shares the first two bolts with stairmaster. Mind the loose block below the chimney. |
5.10c
★ 转世 Transmigration
It’s possible to climb stairmaster all the way to the top before moving into the second half of Millenium Falcon. Done this way, the crux is bypassed but the route is still quality! |
5.9
攀梯运动 Stairmaster
This route is pretty unique at Shuanglang; don’t be fooled by the low angle. |
5.10a
★★ 腐烂的心脏 Tainted Heart
Slabby route with a few nice holds, about 15m down the hill, to the right of stairmaster. Scary crux. |
5.10a
中药蘑菇 Medicinal Mushroom
Down and around the corner from Tainted Heart. |
5.8
软型 Softcore
There are a couple of ways to climb this one. Be careful clipping the first bolt. |
5.10b
青蜂侠 The Green Hornet
Great line! Don’t be deterred by the chossy bottom. Avoid going left near the top. Hard to clip anchor. |

Girlfriend Wall 女朋友岩

5.11a
Back-Alley Liposuction 胡同吸脂术
Crux used to be much easier, until a crucial flake was pulled off. Very reachy. |
5.10d
Nude Nuns with Big Guns 霹雳修女
This is probably the best route of the four at the “girlfriend cliff.” Good climbing with the crux at the last move. |
5.10c
Awaken Mustakrakesh 唤醒巨魔
The start for this route is annoying/scary because of the band of choss that runs across it. |
5.10a
Requiem for a Thornbush 荆棘安魂曲
The choss band runs across this route as well, but there is some sweet tufa climbing above. |
Main Wall 主岩壁 |
5.11c
Leviathan 大海兽
Full-on, right from the start, though the crux is higher-up. Powerful climbing leads to delicate crux. |
5.11b
The Face of All Your Fears 恐惧的外貌
Start by climbing the tufa and join the groove up the start of Mel’s Exciting Crack. Reach out right to clip the bolts and then break right for a relentless series of moves. Interesting and varied climbing leads to a beautiful crux move near the top. Awesome. |
5.10b
★★ Mel’s Exciting crack 刺激裂缝
Thrust up a ledge into a groove, and then up into the wide crack. Excellent climbing that is perhaps a little run-out. Guaranteed excitement. |
5.10a
★★★ Bunny-hug 兔子拥抱
Scramble up the short section of somewhat dirty rock to a wonderful and clean dihedral adventure. |
5.12c
The Black Lake Nidstang
A very hard start. Glorious and dynamic slab, tufa, and stalactite climbing above. |
5.11a
Pure Fucking Armageddon 世界末日
Super sustained climbing using crimps, jugs, slopers, and hand-jams. Shares an anchor with PROJECT2. |
5.10c As sweet as a Stolen Kiss 甜的像亲吻 |
5.10a Death, Murder, Blood, Gore 出血的死亡 |
5.10b In the Clutches of Uncle Lirui |
5.11b
Angels Fall First 天使先坠
Start to the right of the obvious tufa line of L.D.G. Balance and crimp strength will see you through the crux and lead you to a choose-your-own-adventure pocket finish. |
5.10b
★★★ L.D.G.
A beautiful tufa line which leads to a large ominous stalactite. This is one of the gems of Shuang Lang. |
5.12a
Insight and Catharsis 精神洗涤
A hard start brings you to stimulating and pleasant dihedral and face climbing. The relaxed climbing comes to an end when you reach the upper crux, an Über -technical stemming dance up a featureless overhanging corner. Gym climbers beware. |
5.12c Stoon Steeze |
5.10c
Nuts and Ovaries 岩塞和卵子
TRADITIONAL CLIMB with bolted anchor Clip the first few bolts of Scaling the Walls of Mordor and then head bravely into wild, unbolted territory. Good gear and decent rests. The top part of the crack is about as good as limestone crack climbing gets. Falls have been taken, and yes, the gear does hold. Bring gear to 3 inches. If you have no cams, nuts, or ovaries, then you can also climb Scaling the Walls of Mordor and lower into the anchor of this climb to set up a top-rope. But that would be lame. |
5.10d
Scaling the Walls of Mordor 攀登魔都的墙壁
Head up the groove at the bottom of a large crack and move left with difficulty to establish on the left side of the wall. Climbing sharp black rock for a few bolts is rewarded with great orange rock above. |
5.12c Stoon |
5.12b
Poser Disposer 清除装腔作势的人
Climb up the overhanging arête with powerful and precise movement to a fantastic and sustained face and arête climb. |
5.11b
Mortification of the Flesh 苦修
Climb up the right side of the face, using the arête when necessary. Crimpy face climbing. One section of sharp crimps deters from the otherwise pleasant climbing. |
5.11d
El Male Rachamin 仁慈的上帝
Climb up the big block to start and then go up the middle of the wall. Follow the crimpy slopers to the tufas, pull over the dirty tufas to an easy ride to the finish. |
5.9
Spread Your Legs and Trust the Rubber 劈腿而信任橡胶
Climb up the big block and move into the corner. Stemming, tufas, and hidden pockets, this route has it all. A delightful climb at an accessible grade. |
5.10d Faustian Bargain |
5.9 Easier than Done 谈何容易 |
5.9 Kerouac Crack |
5.10c Furu Rimjob |
5.12d
Project3
Begin to the left of the short section of dirty rock and do battle with a deceptively easy looking wall of small crimps and shallow pockets. A somewhat good rest hold near the top allows you to prepare yourself for the powerful and technical boulder problem guarding the chains. |
