Description
'Lightning' seems to be the best entry level hard route in Yangshuo. Its best to tick this beauty off before embarking on some of the more serious projects at White Mountain. Originally Yangshuo's first 14a, the route has since been downrated to an honest 13d.
The first half of the climb is a route known as Single life (13b), which is a worthy venture in its own right. Getting to the first set of anchors features bold moves between crimps and tufa pinches. A knee bar or two in this lower section will help you to depump for the redpoint crux of 'Lightning.'
The climb greatly changes character after the first set of anchors. Two bolts of slightly less steep, technical climbing lead you to the redpoint crux. Crimp hard through the crux and then sail through some novelty tufa climbing to the anchors.
