The spot is popular for rock climbing and abseiling, especially for beginners given the availability of easily accessible routes.
The crags on Shek O are located towards the small cape of Tai Tau Chau and offer an enjoyable experience in a beautiful setting.
Though the number of routes here is fewer as compared to other locations; in terms of difficulty, these are just perfect for beginners and children. Of the three climbing routes, Rubble Zawn and Main face involve sports climbing, while Gaping Zawn incorporates traditional climbing.
We will explore the route according to your preference. Get ready to see panoramic vistas of the beautiful city of Kowloon all along.
We will begin from Shau Kei Wan station and take a bus to the Shek O. Once there, we will set on our hike to the climbing site. At the site, we will first brief you about the safety instructions. Here, you will also learn some easy climbing techniques. And, post-demo, you will be ready to scale!
You will climb for a couple of hours on solid granite slabs before taking a lunch break. You will continue to climb post-lunch and finish by evening to end this incredible trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
