After coming across this thread I thought I’d add something about the China mountains. I went last winter to research Mount Lushan in Jiangxi Province for a book I’m working on about Harvey Butchart, the Grand Canyon guidebook author. Kelsey has Mt. Lushan in his China book, as well.
Although I didn’t see anything like the chained climb, it was a fascinating place. Here’s a link to a photo essay: http://eliasbutler.com/china7.htm
