A classic good-looking crack that will soon reveal a more tricky aspect: the rock on the left side of the crack is quite crumbly, made of many thin layers. Good friction for footholds but is pretty useless when pulled by hands; Hence the name 'millefoglie' Italian for thousand layers. Watch out during the climb! First pitch: F6c - 13m, 8 bolts + anchor Mantle the obvious block and engage with the layback moves in the crack, easy rest below the roof if you compress your body within the two faces. Exit from the roof on the left and mantle the left side to get to the anchor on a very comfortable ledge. Second pitch: F6a- 12m, 5 bolts + anchor Starting moves are a bit tricky, you may find yourself in a weird body position to get above the overhanging part. The rest of the route is pure slab pleasure which, as a final reward, may offer a good view over the Yellow Dragon River with the Tung Chung towers in the background.
