Description
Mostly vertical climbing on good holds. Good beginner crag with 7 routes. A soft 5.10d was the hardest I climbed while I was there, and a 5.8 was the easiest.
In the sun most of the day. The belay area starts to get some shade toward the end of the day.
There is a spooky cave off to the right hand side of the crag to hideout in if the sun gets to be too much for you.
The left hand side has three routes, then moving right there are no routes for about 20-30 feet. The right side of the wall has 4 routes.
5.9 5.8 5.9 ...................... 5.8 ?.? 5.10b 5.10c/d

Getting There
Bike or Scooter Directions:
The first 90% of the route from the town center are the same as Baby Frog (蝌蚪山). Take a left on LongYue Road (龙岳路), which eminates from PanTao Road (蟠桃路) just before the gas station. After a bit you will get to a Y-intersection near ChaoYang (朝阳), take a right. Just before you get to Baby Frog (蝌蚪山) (before the road bends to the right), you should see a pedestrian bridge (you can get a scooter across it no problem) crossing the river on your left. Cross the bridge and head to the left. Follow the trail around a corner to a paved road. Make a left onto this road and keep driving until you see a karst on your left betwen the road and the rivier. You should see the entrance to the trail on your left as you are passing the karst. If you have a scooter there is plenty of room on the side of the road to park. If you have a bike you can leave on the side of the road or try to walk it in with you.
If you use maps.me you should actually be able to search for this crag as "The Dragons Tooth" and have it come up. Then you can follow the bike directions to get there.
Approach:
The approach from the road is about 2-3 minutes of walking along a cement irrigation channel (or something like that).
