Description Suggest change

A fun days outing off the beaten path. The three 4-5 star routes are well worth the trip. Not to mention this area is in a unique tight canyon with beautiful views and a 3 MINUTE APPROACH! Some great moderate climbs and a beautiful invert off width route in the the "rainbow" arch that is the namesake for the area.

Getting There Suggest change

A 3 minute approach! Great to go via a ride or hitchiking. From Liming town head South about 3 km. Just before a house/driveway you will see a white colored paved road with enough room for one car heading steeply down left. Take the left, you will very quickly cross a small bridge and the road will zig zag back left. Keep following this paved road for about 10 minutes by moto. As you head up canyon look left and you should see two small canyons within 40 meters of each other, the second of which has a huge obvious arch on the left side. When you see the canyon with the arch and a dirt road heading downhill with a small wooden bridge/crossing you know youre there. Park or get dropped off here and hike 3 minutes to the crag across some small farm fields. This may be the easiest approach in Liming yet. Be kind and aware while walking through the farm fields, please try to stay off the crops and lessen your impact. One could hike from the turn off the main road about 30-40 minutes to the crag on gradual paved road as well; but getting all the way there on the road really makes the 3 minutes approach great for a day when you legs are soar.
