Has anybody ever climbed in any of these places?

So very cool all of them.

You want to check out unimaginable potential for rock climbing in China, check out Zhangjiajie.

Always looking for new people to climb with. Check out my profile on rockclimbing.com User name. Slavetogravity. Peace.

That would be such a cool place to be able to climb. I wonder if anybody has had a chance to climb there.

Very cool!

If anyone’s seen the Planet Earth DVDs you see the same thing in Borneo also.  Would suck for a foot to slip on one of those knife-edges…

Awesome place! Did you ever go there at all Aaron? If so do you have any pics?

Very nice to say the least. It would be almost worth it to move over to China for a month or two. But you would have to import your food and water.

The Stone Forest in China was in one of the very early climbing videos called ‘Climb International’ featuring Todd Skinner and crew.

They hit Thailand, which had just been developed, another place in China called ‘Moon Hill’ that Sharma was at on his latest tip, and the Stone Forest.  While it is cool to look at, the climbing in the video seemed pretty medicore actually.

wow! really? That is awesome. Considering how large China is, I can only imagine the awesome hiden dragon’s errr cliffs surround. That being said, don’t think I want to bee seen hanging off a static line drilling bolts on that ninja stone. Seriously some of those can only be top roped without bolts (much like Cabo San Lucas - also worth checking out **** out of *****)
