5.12b 奇异 Singularity Sport 26m, 9 阳朔 Yangshuo Classic Mon 10th Oct 2022
Really enjoyed this climb. worked the route 2 times on day one to get the beta, then came back a few days later and got it on my 2nd red point attempt. The crux was about half way up the route and felt like a v5? boulder. the gaston with the small edge wouldn't work with my fat fingers so I eventually found I could use a shitty pinch to get through, once I worked that out I was home free. (To me it still felt potentially hard for the grade with some very polished feet...)

 
7b Quarks (Quartz) Sport 13m, 3 Railay Very Good Mon 3rd Feb 2020
Worked the moves for two days and then this morning it just kinda clicked on the upper part of the crux so then just lowered and got it first attempt from the bottom.

 
5.12b Route Makers, Heart Breakers Sport 22m, 13 临安狮头岩 Lion's Head Sun 30th Oct 2022
Worked it once and then took two red point attempts to get it. Super chill until it heads into a big move up to the right followed by a few moves on tiny super sharp crimps.

 
5.12b 泓渊 Deep pool — 3 attempts Sport 16m, 7 新昌石狗洞 Shigoudong Very Good Sat 18th Feb 2023
Sharp two finger pocket was a killer in the crux. I found a high left heel hook onto the jug where your left hand sat made it relatively easy to move up.

 
5.12b Hongkong Team (Hongkong Team 香港队) Sport 31m, 16 南宁 Nanning Very Good Sat 5th Feb 2022
Rested overnight and came back and knocked it over. Really happy with this climb the difficulty is all in the 3rd 4th and 5th draw after that it eases off and just more of an endurance slog. high high high up the wall.

 
7b License To Climb — 3 attempts Sport 25m, 13 Vịnh Lan Hạ Mega Classic Mon 8th May 2023
Was disappointed to not send this route but our group just got cooked off the wall. First up I missed the top rope flash by about 1 meter during the warm up and it was looking like it would go down very fast but then the sun came over the the top of the cliff and there was no shade to hide in. We suspect that it must have been close to 40C at the base of the cliff and the wall got so hot that I could not rest my body against the wall on the two red point attempts and yet it was still one of the most beautiful 5 star climbs I have ever tried and is calling my name to come back...the view alone was worth 5 stars but the climb was possibly even better, and what made it great was that the climb really built slowly meaning that the less experienced climbers in our group could still get in 10-15m of amazing climbing.
