Looking down the cliff towards the "Tunnel Wall" (A-section) of the cliffs near Guoliang village. There is a multipitch route that ascends the buttress on the far right end of the wall, but my team scouted it and found the approach to be a pain. The route did not look all that quality either. However, the section of the wall to the left features excellent, endless potential for hard sport and trad routes!

This photo is indicative of the bizarre geology of the area. The cliffs in the foreground and the mountains in the background are made of completely different stone. They are also separated by a small plateau.
More of the technical-looking peaks in the Wanxian Mountain region.

A shot from the B-section wall ("Battery Wall"). We dubbed this feature the "Foam Finger Buttress" because of its shape. Unfortunately, this section of the wall has garbage issues because of the heavily used tourist overlook above.
A view of the bizarre geology of the Wanxian Mountain region of the Taihang Mountains. The cliffs below are coarse sandstone while the peaks above are of some yellow/brown (still unidentified) rock.
Some of the technical peaks that loom over the village of Guoliang (郭亮). These mountains are steep and require technical climbing from all sides.
