Crag features

She Geng Tun is a masive cave in west Guang Xi province china.  It covers the area of three football fields.  Climbs are generally long (30-35m) , Steep ( 5 to 45 degrees overhanging) on solid tufas and runnels.   Grades in the main  walls of the cave are generally in the 7s, 8s and 9s.   There are also some excellent easier routes on the  vertical faces outside the cave New routes are continouously being developed and there is permission to develop more of the cliffs in the area.  As yet, no multi pitches have been done , but there is ample room for development.  The existing routes do not reach the apex of the cave which is 60m from the ground.

Note - Grades seem a little stiff by UK standards

The area is an ethnic minority area in China and rural. You get the full cultural experience here.

 

Approach notes

Fly, or take the bullet train to Nanning.  Then hire a car to get to She Geng Tun  or the nearest local town San Men Hai.  Access from the village of She Geng Tun is extremely simple. Take the obvious road from the village which actually drives through the cave.

Access Advice

Chinese Visas required! Always make extra effort with the locals. Climbing is relatively new to many Chinese who are naturally curious.  Permission to climb is hard  won.  Please dont jeopodise it by unaware behaviour.
