climbing in nanjing pt 6

i don't know why i never posted this, but there is outdoor climbing in nanjing as well. so you can bring your climbing gear! i know, it's been several years since I left Nanjing but people still come here to find out info about nanjing climbing. there are several sport climbing routes at Purple Mountain near the observatory. there is a link found to the right that leads to the nanjing climbing club forum where there are maps and route grades. difficulties range from 5.8 to 5.12a. if you want more detailed info or you're looking for a climbing buddy, GO TO YANGJIAO bouldering gym. they'll hook you up with some info.

here's a rough map to the Crazy Stone(疯狂的石头) crag and the yang jiao bouldering gym: http://www.xici.net/d101406149.htm

here's more info about crazy stone again and a newer crag near crazy stone called, Bai He: http://www.rock-lizard.org/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7086

"南京岩友人间的鱼在7月底把南京老岩场“疯狂的石头”岩场和新开发的“百合岩场”的新、老线路资料已归纳、整理出来，很荣幸我能在此代为发布。

百合岩场位于疯狂的石头岩场的西面，由南京岩友狂人在2010年底发现，并由西米首先带动开发，目前已开出9条线路。

有需要前往百合岩场的岩友，在到达疯狂的石头岩场后，面向岩壁右手有一条小路可直达百合岩场，路程约在5分钟左右即可到达。

人间的鱼特别嘱咐我提醒大家，因为百合岩场是新开发的，有可能会有一些碎石没有完全清理干净，希望前去攀爬的岩友一定要带好头盔"

In summary, after arriving at Crazy Stone there is a small path to the right of the wall that leads you for 5 minutes straight to Bai He where there are 9 routes. Bai He is the newer of the sites so it says to be careful of loose rock.
