Sharp Peak also known as Nam She Tsim or 蚺蛇尖, is a hill which lies in the Sai Kung Peninsula of Hong Kong. It is particularly well known for its well-defined sharp peak, which rises to a height of 468 metres above sea level. There are several ways to the top, the most popular and safest being a network of official trails on the southern side of the mountain. A much more interesting option is an unofficial path up the northern face, which has a steep gradient and should only be attempted by experienced hikers in good weather conditions. Official maps do not mark this trail, but the route is well-established and documented for those who want to attempt it. Naturally, this is the one we’re interested in! The northern ridge approach requires a bit of planning to get to the remote trailhead, but can easily be done as a day hike. With relatively cool and fine weather, and calm winds (very important), this past weekend was the perfect time to conquer Sharp Peak.
