All bolts on the East Face and the final pitch of Gweilo were chopped during protest banner removal in 2020. 

50m, 3 pitches.

Hong Kong Rock Description
50m. Classic outing and much harder now due to the successive loss of holds.
1) 6c - 20m - 10 Bolts. Follow Austrian Staircase to where a line of bolts leads left for several metres until a hard move leads to easier ground and hanging belay.
2) 7a+ - 20m - 15 Bolts. Climb above the belay then drift up and rightwards to a blank section of wall. Pass the blank section of black-coloured rock and gain better holds before more sustained climbing leads back left on a rising traverse to another small stance and hanging chain belay.
3) 6a - 10m - 6 Bolts. Climb a slightly rightward trending crack above the belay to an abseil station. © Hong Kong Rock
