Crag features
Once one of Hong Kong’s foremost climbing areas but now somewhat of a backwater, the crags of Shek O offer some enjoyable trad and sport climbs in a delightful setting, as well as a handful of quality boulder problems. Some good beaches (Shek O beach and Big Wave Bay) are also located just a stones throw away.
The Main Wall provides excellent sport climbing with full details described in the Hong Kong Rock sport climbing guide.

Approach notes
Shek O is located on the south east side of Hong Kong island. The crags are all located towards the small headland of Tai Tau Chau, approx. 10 mins east of the main village. Take any bus to Shek O from either Exchange Square, Central or Shau Kei Wan bus station. Get off the bus upon entering the small village itself and turn left at the obvious roundabout. Follow the winding road through the village and up the small hill – keeping to the right. At the top of the hill follow a concrete footpath behind a house and down a flight of steps. The footpath leads over a small bridge and onto a headland, which contains all of the climbing areas.
