Hello! We are setting up a fund to rebolt rock climbs in Liming, Yunnan. The project has a few goals.

1) Re-bolt existing climbs in Liming.  Currently there are over 800 bolts to replace  over 350 pitches of rock climbing. The plan is to start with the most popular routes and move to all the other climbs over the next 5 years. 



2) Develop new rock climbs on a new wall in Liming. As a team we have found an area suitable for face climbing on the sandstone in Liming and could become one of the better walls for rock climbing in China. We expect there to be at least 50 routes with a grade range from 5.9 to 5.14. The wall is 80m high, has a consistently flat base, and a 30 min approach. Since Liming is a traditional climbing area we will only place bolts whenever gear is not suitable for protection. We expect that there will be many fully bolted climbs though.





We intend to be sourcing from the following company using AISI 304 and 316 glue in bolts.

We will be using Hilti RE500 glue and the anchor will be fitted with stainless steel quicklinks and chain.

This is a massive project and we appreciate your contributions. We are also asking for donations from the Chinese climbing community. Feel free to come to Liming! We will roll out the red carpet for you and are welcome to use our gear for development. 

Currently we are working on a website to report progresses with this project! Stay tuned for updates.
