General Note:
The reproduction of any of the maps or topos contained within these pages for commercial use is strictly prohibited, although printing for personal use is acceptable.

Access Note:
The inclusion of an area within these pages does not mean that you have the right of access to it or the right to climb upon it. Having said this, the majority of climbing areas described are located within open countryside and, as such, access should not be a problem. Please take all litter etc. away with you and leave the areas either as you found them or in better condition.

Notes on Grading:
The descriptions and gradings of the routes and boulder problems in this guide are recorded for historical reasons only and no reliance should be placed on their accuracy. Routes relying on traditional (natural) protection have been assigned British Traditional Grades, bolted routes have been graded in accordance with the French Sport Climbing Grades. Boulder problems have been given British Technical Grades, tentative efforts at assigning American V bouldering grades have also been made, however, in the absence of people with extensive experience with this system a period of refining will almost certainly be required.

Thanks and Acknowledgements:
Three people in particular require a huge vote of thanks from climbers in Hong Kong, Martin Lancaster, Danny Ng and Rocky Lok are almost entirely responsible for the majority of equiped routes located throughout the territory, in addition to many of the topos on which these guides are based. Additional thanks go to Geoff Breach, who discovered and developed the boulders, and Stuart Sharpless, who made many recent developments at Clearwater Bay. I suppose i also ought to thank Mitch LeBlanc for his massive help in revamping the website. Cheers Guys.
