[MCR] Ha Ling NE Face

Quiet day on the NE face of Ha Ling today. Of note is the dissappearance of two bolt hangers: 1) Pitch 6 is missing the hanger on the bolt that is protecting the (already) run out crux section, where the rising traverse to the right climbs up steeply for about 6 meters to the next bolt. 2) Pitch 8 (The one before reaching the big dihedral) is missing the bolt hanger right above the belay, which is protecting a slabby traverse to the right and helps to avoid a factor 2 fall. Both bolts are crucial for leaders whose grade level is at 5.6 or 5.7 and the dissappearance makes those two pitches quite hazardous for the time being.

 

Stay safe,
