Limestone close to Wuhan, China

Posted on September 27, 2011 at 3:30pm 2 Comments

Great climbing 2 hours south of Wuhan, China. In Xianning at the Guishan reservoir. Single pitch sport climbs up to 33 meters on limestone in the mountains and shade all day. Maximum difficulty is 5.13a/b with several 5.10s to 5.12s. Great hot springs also.

Hey John, Very nice to hear from you! Poland sounds great! I've been traveling for almost a year now and just spent the last six months in Yangshuo, China climbing. It's been great to get back into climbing again! I would love to meet you over the holidays to climb, but I will not be in Europe then I'll still be in Vietnam or Indonesia....However, my husband, Fred and I are moving to Europe next summer! We are hoping to move to France!!! Hopefully you'll still be in Europe so we can climb together again!!
Best of luck in Poland, Cheers, -Kre

27cragsclimbervoice8a and many others are amazing sites, but sometimes, expecially if you worked a lot to envision, bolt, clean routes or boulders, you want to monetize a little your efforts.

9b can help you in this aim.

 

As you can see here, in 9b there are many " topo groups ".

 

You can add a discussion in every "topo group".

In your discussion you can edit and publish your own climbing topoguide, as a "paywall", a "destination page", requiring climbers their payment by credit card or paypal to access and read, even on SMARTPHONES (iphones, android phones, ...)

 

After having paid, climbers can see, save and print your climbing topoguide.

 

In this discussion you can add:

 

1) PHOTOS regarding one specific SECTOR (of routes or bouldering, dws lines)

 

a) "PHOTO topo":

It's very easy to edit a photo topo:

- upload a photo of a rock in a topo group discussion

- drawn the lines

- write names and grades (an example…
