Second barefoot hike on suicide cliff, with complete video walkthrough.
Barefoot hike with a little girl on Kowloon Peak
Kowloon peak is close to the place where I live and so, it is a very easy hike, when you do it via the stairs. I did it previously via suicide cliff shod and barefoot. I did go back up barefoot and at night. This time, I wished to satisfy my daughter, who had been […]
A night barefoot hike on Kowloon Peak
After having climbed suicide cliff barefoot and by night, I still had to more. That’s why, last Sunday, I decided to do a night barefoot hike on Kowloon Peak to catch the sunrise. Starting off at 3 AM Although I live very close to Kowloon Peak, arriving at the top on time still requires starting […]
A drone flight and a barefoot hike around Ma On Shan park
Weeks go ahead, and I try to go regularly out for a barefoot hike. Lately, I acquired a Mavic Pro drone, and while still learning to function with it, I combined a drone flight and a barefoot hike around Ma On Shan park. Barefoot hike around Kowloon Peak My barefoot hiking started originally around […]
Barefoot hike on Suicide cliff
I mentioned that possibility in a previous post, and I finally did it: A barefoot hike on suicide cliff! Originally, I wanted to test myself with a barefoot hike on a less steep terrain, such as the Dragon’s Back hike. Seeing how packed that hike can be on weekends, I decided instead to do the […]
An umpteenth helicopter rescue on Kowloon peak
I guess that becomes repetitive, but this is the umpteenth helicopter rescue on Kowloon Peak. The helicopter had to come back twice! A treacherous route It seems hikers get lost quite easily on the Jat’s incline side (one of the hardest sides to hike), especially when going down. So, I know I have said and […]
Kowloon Peak barefoot!
While I often climb Kowloon peak and suicide cliff in particular, so far I always did it with hiking boots or trail running shoes. As a few weeks ago, I started running barefoot, I decided this time to run/hike to the top of Kowloon peak barefoot. Why running barefoot? Firstly a few words of explanation […]
Sunset at Suicide Cliff
Once again, I was back up on Kowloon peak. After previous visits with the photography meetup, with the hiking meetup at night, and solo during the day, I joined a hiking meetup that was passing through suicide cliff. I abandonned the group once at Suicide Cliff, mainly because hiking meetups are focused on covering as quickly […]
Full moon on Kowloon Peak
I posted a few weeks ago a picture of a moon crescent over Kowloon Peak. Yesterday night, the stars were aligned again, this time with the full moon. What is different this time? For starters, it is a full moon, versus a crescent. I also experimented some more this time. Took shots with faster […]
Harrowing rescue on Suicide cliff during Typhoon Pakhar
The past week-end, while typhoon Pakhar was approaching Hong Kong, two hikers had to be rescued on suicide cliff. Suicide cliff: asking for trouble! Contrary to the routes I described in an earlier post, these hikers took it the reverse way, going down through the cliff. Now, in normal time, going down a very steep […]
