★ Perfect Contingency
When facing the cliff, About 100m left of Aardclimb is an obvious groove leading to a tree and roof/crack above. Jam the groove until the tree and then step right onto the wall. A tricky move leads up the wide crack to the top (careful of jammed block). Continue up and then right to belay on a large boulder. Camalot 0.5 - 4. | {UK} HVS 5b | 20m | |||

From Central Ferry Pier No. 4 take the ferry to Sok Kwu Wan, which departs from the left side of the ferry pier (check schedules). The ferries from right side go to Yung Shue Wan and add about 45 minutes to the approach walk so avoid these!
From the ferry pier in Sok Kwu Wan head right and follow the main path past all the sea food restaurants to a small open area. At the far left corner of this square is a staircase and footpath which lead up the hill (signposted to Tung O). Follow this path uphill until a small shelter is reached, approximately 20 minutes. Taking the right hand branch in the footpath leads to the Pagoda Boulders, whilst the left takes you to the Ling Kok Shan Boulders.
