"It's only funny until someone gets hurt then it just hilarious." (Bill Hicks)
The Censored Wall has become a memorial to the late, great American codemian Bill Hicks and has some great climbs to boot! Being mostly (completely?) shaded, it's a good option for warmer weather.
Routes here are of typical Li Ming quality, and in the .10+ to .13- range, with an absence of any 5.12s. While many of the pitches start with flakey and hollow rock, the rock higher up is unbelievably bomber with a beautiful golden quality and some nice calcite. The base of the crag is comfortable enough to hangout but not wide enough to lounge about and could get crowded with more than 6 people. There is plenty of room to tie Jerry up. The seven pitches at the wall is enough to keep even the most motivated of parties busy for a full day.
Left to right, routes include: Freedom to Burn the Fucking Flag **** 5.11a Oh! Chemical Chance! Chemical Chance ... Fate and Destiny! Fate and Destiny ... BIG BANG! **** 5.11 Shallowing Universes and Wiping Galaxies off My Chest *** 5.11- I Like My Rockstars Dead! **** 5.11 Throw Your Legs Around My Shoulders and Let Me Wear You Like A Feedbag ***** 5.10+ Open Project Tetragrammaton ***** 5.13a
Getting There
See Yangshuo Sports Climbers Crag approach. Cross the fence (close behind you) and take the left branch when the trail splits. There is a steep, scrambly bit but other than that, it's a easy 5 minute stroll.
