Ap Lei Chau Ap Lei Chau Ap Lei Chau AP LEI CHAU 3 HongKongClimbing GENERAL A diverse collection of crags in two main areas, Ap Lei Chau and Ap Lei Pai. The climbing here covers just abbout all style imaginable and is sure to keep you entertained for many many weekends. Some routes are tidal so its worth checking out the Hong Kong Observa- tory webpages first to time your visits to when the water will be lowest. AccESS The crags at Ap Lei Chau are best approached from the end of Lee Nam Road, which can be reached relatively easily either on foot or by taxi from South Horizons MTR station. From the end of the road, follow the little alley on the left along the side of the building, staying right to some steps that allow you to climb over the wall. After this follow a via ferrata like trail that contours along the coastline via a combination of scrambling, wooden planks, old boat ropes and even the odd steel ladder. The difficulty of this and the need tom use the above features varies depending on the tide. This trail will eventually lead to Welcome Wall and, after a short scramble descent, the boardwalk beneath The Depot. Other areas at Ap Lei Chau are reached by scrambling along the coastline between here and the small beach connecting to Ap Lei Pai. The crags on Ap Lei Phi (excluding Ocean Wall) are reached via the obvious dirt trail leaving the right side of the beach. It is also possible to reaches beach by hiking over the hill from Lei Tung Estate, but seriously, why would you when there’s a quicker less strenuous option available. A third option to get here is to take a Sampan from Aberdeen Harbour. 4 Ap Lei Chau AccESS MAPS 5 HongKongClimbing CLIMBING AREAS: Ap Lei Chau Areas Welcome Wall: A couple of short routes on the first wall reached. The Gallery:A handful of routes ninth small zawn just beyond Welcome Wall. Most routes affected by the tide and required abseil access to hanging stances. The Depot:This crag is basically like a modern bouldering gym on steroids. Steep, powerful routes on (generally) positive holds. Partially tidal on the left side. The Fury Wall: Quality face climbing up a sustained steep face providing some of the best routes at this area. Yellow Wall: A mix of short slabby routes and steeper, longer lines up prominent features provides a good selection of routes at moderate grades. Dump Wall: Short (very short) climbs up the slightly scrappy walls on the right side of the cliffs as they descend in height. The Den:A combination of steep lines on the right and slab lines on the left provides a well shaded area to keep you busy. Some lines affected by the tide. Ap Lei Pai Areas Ocean Wall: The small cover on the NE tip of the island offers a variety of styles for mid- grade climbs, coupled with some additional potential for deep water soloing of some lines and (for the fainter of heart) some smaller scale cliff jumping/swimming. The Cove:The small cove/cave on the west coast offers and handful of existing and a lot more potential for DWS routes. Water depth can be marginal for this at low tide however so a good degree of experience and caution is advised. Left Wall: A long wall of short (predominantly traditionally protected) routes on compact high quality rock. With enough pads, some climbs could even be treated as high ball boul- der problems. The Prow:A collection of high quality routes on steep rock on the buttresses at the far end of the island. 6 Ap Lei Chau WElcOME WALL The short wall of Welcome Wall is the first distinct crag reached when approaching along the coastline. The wall itself offers a few pleasant introductory climbs for beginners as well as a couple of steeper fiercer routes forcing through the headwall at the top of the crag. 1 - There’s No Mat F6b+ 4 - Feudal Enterprises F4 Straightforward climbing leads to the technical corner, FA: Francis Haden, Donna Kwok (2015) which is taken direct.
