Jianshanzi (5,472m), southwest face.

By Yan Dongdong, China

Briefly noted in the 2010 AAJ (p. 84), during September 28-29, 2005, Wang Bing soloed the southwest face of Jianshanzi (Jianzi Peak). This mountain lies halfway up the Shuangqiao, immediately west of this valley at approximately 31° 08’39.67” N, 102° 44’39.29” E. It is south of Hunter’s Peak (Lieren Feng, 5,360m), but connected to it by a ridge. There is no known ascent of the mountain prior to 2005.
