Humpback Mountain

Unlike most of Yangshuo, Humpback Mountain is about a single thing: awesomely exposed multi-pitch climbing. The historic route, Grandfathered In (line 3) avoided the most overhung feature, the infamous Nose, but Old School (line 1) rectified that mistake. It may not see the crowds of Leipi or White Mountain, but is well worth a visit if only for its outrageous belay stations.
