Ha Ling Peak - Northeast Face
July 11, 2015
Mountain height: 2407 m
Elevation gain: 700 m
Climbing with Evan Roberts.
I’ve always wanted to try this route and was delighted when
my good friend and great climber Evan Roberts suggested we do so. The 5.6 climbing
route was fantastic! At one time a classic trad. route, the climb now feels
more like a sport climb, as bolts and belay stations litter the route.
Initially we switched leads, however, an incoming storm prompted
us to pick up the pace and so Evan (a much better climber than I) led the last
few pitches. Thankfully, the storm missed and we were granted a dry descent,
down the other side of the mountain.
Awesome route and day out!
