White Mountain is, as the name suggests, a white crag which pops out from the rice fields with circa 35 routes and a great potential for many harder additions. This is probably the most interesting crag in the area, thanks in part due to its ease of access and routes of all difficulties. The crag faces south and receives the sun all day long. Since it overhangs 15°, climbing is possible in light rain.
Reach White Mountain by using one of the many taxis or cycle directly from the center of Yangshuo. For detailed information we recommend you buy "Yangshuo, Rock Climbing" by Paul Collis. This guidebook contains all the crags, topos and access maps.
PeriodYangshuo is located in the Guanxi province and has a subtropical climate. Although climbing is possible all year round, the best time of year is either spring or autumn.
ClimbThe rock quality is excellent and the routes vary from technical crimp fests to athletic corners and long stamina routes on small edges and rounded pockets. The wall is circa 200m wide and the central section is almost 60m high. Most routes are between 25m - 30m long.
NotesAll routes are well bolted but not all are equipped with a lower-off carabiner. Always take a screwgate carabiner and some additional quickdraws for the lower-off manoeuvre.
