      <image:caption>COMING SOON: Baiyansi Climbing, 3rd Edition (2026) The latest and greatest upgrade to one of China's best big wall climbing destinations! With new routes, topos, and heaps of new media this is far and away the best (and most difficult-to-make!) guidebooks I have ever assembled. This is also the first edition I hope to print and share real copies with the climbing community. If you have the means, consider donating to my guidebook development fund to make this book and even some new routes at Baiyansi come into the world.

      <image:caption>Shigu Route List (2017-2018) Arguably the best sport climbing destination in the Lijiang region, Shigu was part of the climbing movement that created Liming and Baiyansi, as well. While the area has seen upheaval in the past few years surrounding access, it is still a worthy destination with a couple of hundred pitches scattered over multiple crags. A lot of development happened since this guide was published, so expect some crags to be missing routes or some crags you encounter in the area to not be included in this document.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Baiyanxia by: Tianzong, translated by: Yaqing One of the many new crags popping up in the Zhejiang region of China, Baiyanxia may be small, but it is indicative of a young and growing movement in China of discovering and developing new rock climbing areas for the home-grown climbing community. The author even said he took inspiration from the Baiyansi guidebook! Show him and authors like him more support, so more Chinese climbers feel inspired to create their own guidebooks!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Wild West China Routebook (2015) by: Ryder Stroud China's western mountainous regions are home not just to high peaks for the mountaineer but with rock walls of all types waiting to see climbers on their flanks. The Wild West book is a compilation of various areas in which the Wild West China team (Mike Dobie, Ana Pautler, Ryder Stroud, Raúl Saúco, and Dan Jerke) established new routes. Though it is just a single summer's sampling of the wealth of climbing China has to offer, it is one of the few resources that exist on this topic with this much depth, featuring rich photos, topos, and descriptions on getting to these new locations.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Keketuohai Routebook (2015) by: Ola Przybysz The authoritative guidebook on China's granite multipitch paradise, Keketuohai. With cragging, multipitch up to 10 pitches, and endless development opportunity, Keketuohai will be a center for high-quality trad in China and internationally. With routes including those established all the way to the end of 2014, the new 2015 edition is a great showcase for Keketuohai as a destination for climbing and new development. Some new routes from 2015 are included in the Wild West China Route guide.</image:caption>
