Shirgu-Stone Drum. So named because of a large stone drum located nearby.
Our family has started outdoor climbing because we don’t do enough! Just kidding! We do it as a way to spend time together, get outside to some cool places, and exercise. We found this place named Shigu (meaning “stone drum”) located only a few hours drive from our home. I was shocked to find that this place has over 200 bolted routes! That’s A LOT!
We were also suprised to find this rock climbing community, after all these years. We never saw or heard of climbing around here until we got into it and searched. It’s weird not knowing about such a thing after spending years in the same place; running similar circles with these climbers but never intersecting paths. Here are some pictures from our first weekend visit.
