Description Suggest change

If climbed following the first pitch of Jasmine Beauty, this makes the best and longest moderate trad climb at Long Dong.

From the JB ledge, take the hand crack straight up the face. Expect to spend more time jamming on this route than any other route in the country. The crack thins as you layback a juggy flake into a slight overhang. This is the crux - sick finger/hand locks. Shake out at a concave section before pulling through the final broken section. Beware of the big flake to your left; the chunky rock above aint too bad. Climb delicately over the grassy ledges and belay at a nice hand crack just below the topout. There is not a single bolt on this route... as it should be.

The name in Mandarin: shuàiqì èmó
