Description
This is route #8 on the topo. Begin with a very thin corner which is somewhat friable in places. Delicate stems and fingers will get you to the obvious roof. Turn the roof, and carefully lieback past the large flake (right) to the ledge above, a good rest. Continue on good jams to the top, and belay on gear at the shelf. It is very adventurous.
Descent: the easiest is from the rap anchors atop Route #7. FYI: if you don't know what the Bailong Elevator is, Google it for surprising reading.
