The empire strikes
Kineser ar inte direkt kanda for at klattra i god stil och an mindre for att gilla tekniska turer men nu har nagra killar gjort en tur pa ett valdigt spektakulart berg.
Fran Alpinist:
"On November 27, Chinese climbers Zhou Peng and Yan Dongdong completed a route up the attractive south face of Siguniang (6250m) in the Qonglai mountains of Sichuan Province, China, that had been attempted at least three times prior. The Free Spirits (VI M4 AI3, 1000m) takes a direct line up the center of the face before connecting with the southwest ridge just below the summit. The climb marked not only completion of the unfinished line, but also the first all-Chinese ascent of Siguniang."
