Shanghai 5.10a

Only the most adventurous trad climbers have an interest in this multi-pitch venture to the top of the cliff. It stands alone as the worst route to the top of Red Wall. It would surely attract more attention with a retro-bolting (you have my permission) and a good cleaning, though it's not the sort of route that will ever attract much of a following. Pitch 1: (5.6) Share the same start as Ho Chi Minh Trail, but avoid the flake crack by stepping right to anchor. Pitch 2: (5.10a) Jam fifteen glorious feet up an immaculate hand crack, and grovel up a finishing slot. Pitch 3: (5.8) Undercling around an obvious roof, and scramble to an anchor. Pitch 4: (5.7) Exit a right-facing dihedral onto a featured slab. It's never hard (and never safe) with perched blocks and no gear 5: (4th). Scramble up the same exit as everything else.
