About Shuanglang Soft:

There are ~20 routes at Shuanglang Softcore, grades 5.7 – 5.11c. The rock is limestone. Due to the way the rock has accumulated in very clear layers, the climbing style can best be described as crimpy with a handful of pockets and cracks. The angle varies from vertical to slightly positive to barely overhanging. As you can see from the piles of rocks on the ground, there was indeed much loose rock that had to be pried and hammered off before climbing here was safe. On the one hand, the rock has a chossy uninspiring look to it, and you need to use caution when climbing here. On the other hand, most of the routes are both fun and solid, and loose rock is rarer than you might think. The crag takes sun most of the day, and it can get hot! Thankfully, there is a nice hut in front of the crag that provides much-needed shade.It usually dries quickly after the shade. Most of the routes are on the main face, with 3 additional routes around the small bulge to the right.
Approach: To get here, you must first go to NanGuoCheng (by #2 local bus, taxi, or 20 minute walk from Dali Old Town) to Shuanglang (see map), on the eastern shore of ErHai Lake.
