No special access issues
Village Circuit: The first set of boulders, closest to Shek O Village, has it all from highballs, pleasant walls and a nice small ‘cellar’ like wall. The only real down side is the small size of the area and the amount of litter that seems to get washed up and left by day trippers. From the end of the road carry straight on down the staircase and immediately follow a small dirt path which contours right around the small hill. It is also possible to contour the coast line to the boulders from Shek O Beach.
Headland: e Headland Bouldering area includes a number of sub-areas close to (as the name suggests) the headland on Tai Tau Chau. This area is accessed by continuing along the concrete footpath from the Village Boulders, across the short footbridge on to Tai Tau Chau and then following the footpath to the far end of the island. Towards the end of the footpath you will reach The Corridor, from which all other areas can be accessed relatively quickly and easily.
Back Beach: The Back Beach Sector is located on the coastline beneath the Golf Club to the north of Shek O vIllage. To access the area, head directly east through the buildings behind the Bus Stop to get to the Back Beach itself. Cross the beach to its northern end, cross the small footbridge. Cross this, double back down to the edge of the stream and then continue scrambling along the rocky coastline to reach the climbing area itself.
Note the use of the word scramble here. This approach involves navigating your way around or down several small cliffs on route to the blocs so appropriate footwear and caution should be used to avoid risk of injury. The area is also best avoided if there is a big east swell running (check here) as several sections of the approach can become impassable during high tides and big swells (if the swell is >6ft, go elsewhere or risk getting swept away).
