Description

The Dinner Wall is the massive east facing wall that looms over Li Ming, home to the The Great Firewall, the most iconic route in Li Ming, and many other great climbs 5.8 to 5.13d.

The Dinner Wall is separated into three distinct crags, left to right: The Orange Sky Area, The Cretaceous Area and The Cave Area. These crags can be linked in a day, however, getting off-trail becomes a very real possibility.

Getting There

There are two main approaches:

For The Cave Area, walk southwest out of Li Ming to the large concrete slab. The trail starts from the far corner of the market slab.

For the Cretaceous Area, walk along the road, passing the turn to the Lisu Area to a small roadside quarry (this has you further along than the buttress that is the Cretaceous Area). Just past the quarry is a faint road that starts winding up the ridge. Stay on top of the ridge through the meadow finding a well-worn trail, making sure to stay on the ridge until you reach the wall - do not descend into the gully to the right. The Orange Sky area is initially approached from this trail but then branches out left.
