Hi!

Wondering if anyone has beta on a fun route at Great Wall of China in ORG? Name and grade?

It' immediately to the right of Enter The Dragon and left of Shanghai’d crack (also not on MP). Quite a few bolts (14?), tricky moves over a bulge about 5 bolts up, and traverses left into a shallow right facing corner with a bomber hand jam and stemming near the anchor. 

Fun and recommended, thanks to whomever put it up!

Hi, I think I just climbed this route. It starts out in a short finger crack at bolts 1-3-ish? It was amazing and I’d love to know what it is!

I think Chris is talking about something left of that short finger crack, which, I believe, is "Shanghai'd"--5.9 Croft effort, that is, indeed, one of the better moderates in the Gorge.  LOVE that thing.

Hm, what I climbed was definitely felt harder than 5.9. Maybe 5.11?
