E Pringle in Yangshuo: awesome routes/soft grades

Ethan Pringle has done nearly all the hardest routes in Yangshuo, China. Including Spicy Noodle, 8c+ and a flash of Sea of Tranquility, 8b (+). He calls most of them "amazing, 5-star, best limestone or awesome." He also says most of them are soft, and has suggested a number of personal grades. In his blog he gives the story about the chipped 8c.
