Description 

Uber-long and uber-classic, this seems to be *the* must-do 12b in Yangshuo, for good reason. 34m of super fun climbing, with great variety and a great mid-way rest to replenish the forearms. A very delicate crux near the bottom leads to a long, enduro run to the finish. At about half way, you can check into "the hotel" for a quick no-hands, before tackling the upper crux and gun to the anchors.

Location 

Just right of White Devil, this route is in the main area of White Mountain, the one you approach when first arriving at the crag. The overhanging start is perhaps the most difficult of the routes that share the same, long overhanging ledge start, so a good spot is important.

Protection 

Bolts to a two bolt fixed anchor.
