Kangshung Face

Description

This route has engaging climbing on thought-provoking rock. The crux is probably going over the little roof. If it seems harder than 5.8 then remember to stem. There are enough footholds to keep the climbing pretty tame. You can get a fair amount of gear in, though who knows how much of it would hold.

Location

The route goes up an obvious corner system that faces up toward Hurrah Pass. It's the only line on the formation that looks like it could be 5.8... See beta pic.

Protection

A set of cams and micro cams. I used a #6 Friend right before the roof. Pins (as stated in the Bjornstad guide) not needed.
