Crag features

Clear Water Bay’s Tai Hang Tun has single pitch sport and trad climbs in a lovely setting. The upper parts of the cliff are of dubious quality so helmets are advised for some climbs, and to be brutally honest, I’d stick to the bolted stuff, the rocks quite brittle in places so not all trad placements will be good enough to hold a fall.

Good topo here:

Approach notes

East facing sea cliffs accessed from the country park parking area at the end of Clear Water Bay Road. Take Clear Water Bay Road to Tai Au Mun and then instead of turning right down toward the country club, continue straight on Clear Water Bay Road. The area can also be reached by mini bus.

From the parking lot, follow the sign for Clear Water Bay Tree Walk which turns left off the main path at Tai Hang Tun barbecue area. Continue down a set of stone stairs and turn left though a fenced off area into a field, passing a “Danger Cliffs” sign. Continue down a distinct path through the grass to a stream bed. Follow the stream bed to the top of some broken cliffs. Pick your way easily down for about 30 meters and then around to the left to find abseil bolts above ‘High Tide’ zawn. At low tide it is possible to walk into or out of the zawn, but at high tide the abseil bolts and the bolted climbing line back out offer the safest access. Continue to pick your way north along the rocks above the ocean for about 200 meters before coming upon a detached pillar on the right and the climbing area on the left.
