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

45m.

Hong Kong Rock Description
45m. This bounds up the middle of the East Face.
1) 7a+ - 20m - 7 Bolts. Climb the corner and stand up on the ramp. Step onto the wall and climb directly up via a series of thin crimps and rock over moves until a hard and insecure move gains better holds and a thin groove leading to a belay stance on the traverse of Austrian Staircase.
2) 7a+ - 25m - 15 Bolts. Climb directly up the wall above the belay, encountering a thin technical section at mid-height. This pitch is run out. © Hong Kong Rock

βeta: The second pitch is (and has always been) graded F6b+. Can only guess that F7a+ is a typo
