Route: Yushan "Jade Mountain" (Taiwan)

Location
Nantou County, TW
Description

Frank Lenihan posted the route:

Yushan, at 3,952m (12,965ft), is Taiwan's tallest mountain. I climbed it twice using the classic two-day route, ascending from the west, climbing from the trailhead to Paiyun Lodge on day 1, and from Paiyun Lodge to the summit and back to the trailhead on day 2. For single-day ascents, most climbers spend 10-12 hours going up and down the mountain. 

Trail running is getting more and more popular in Asia these days. Still, I looked around a lot online and even asked some friends to help search in Chinese, but I couldn't find anyone who'd recorded an FKT for Yushan. So... I thought, "Hey, let's get this going here!"

The area includes the Main Peak (3952m), the Front Peak (3229m), the North Peak, the North North Peak (?), and the West Peak (3518m), so lots of variations are possible.
