Great Wall of China Principalement Escalade sportive 45 voies en site

New route on the left side of the steep headwall. Start up Aurora's permadraws and bust out left about 2/3rds of the way up. More technical, great holds and great climbing.

Aurora is the awesome overhanging line on the far left side of the Great Wall of China. The route starts off with vertical climbing until you get to a small ledge that provides an awkward but decent rest. From the rest blast up the overhanging headwall with good holds. The last few moves are pumpy and a little dynamic.

Enjoyable steep juggy climbing through bif huecos, trending left over the roof and onto a nice headwall. Rock is a bit suspect, but climbs better than it looks.

This is the 5 bolt extension of Tiananmen Square. The climbing is characterized by good holds every 3rd of 4th move with thin crimps and pockets in between. The steepness and length make for a fun a challenging route, 70m rope required. The only thing that detracts from this route is the fact you have to climb a runout slippery 5.10 to get to the good upper headwall.

To 35m: Climb straight above the new Beijing anchor into easy climbing for a few bolts. The route trends up and right through an obvious dihedral system. When the dihedral starts to trend straight up it becomes pumpy with an awkward crux over a bulge in the dihedral. Stand up over the bulge and clip the chains.

To 40m: From the 35m anchor at 11c do a huge move right to a mail slot, then another reachy move up and left to a good hold. Clip one bolt then do a bouldery move to holds and a delicate finish at another anchor above at 40m.

Note: you'll need an 80m rope to lower off the high 12b extension anchors.

Scramble up easy 3rd class terrain to an awesome headwall with a crux high on the route. Long draw on the first bolt helps a lot with drag or skip it if you're confident climbing easy choss.

Starting from the Silk Road/Chicken Feet shared anchor you will climb up and left along a left leaning edge/flake to a delicate reach to the anchor. Still a bit crumbly, but should improve with traffic. Starting on Silk Road or Chicken Feet and climb past the shared anchor. This extension can be climbed in one combined pitch with either of these climbs. Add 4 extra bolts to a mussy style anchor.
