Geography
High West is located within Pok Fu Lam Country Park[2] and straddles the boundary of Central and Western District and Southern District.[3] It is west of Victoria Peak, north of Pok Fu Lam and south of Lung Fu Shan.[4] Queen Mary Hospital is at its west slope.
Harlech, Hatton and Lugard Roads terminate at a junction on its north slope. On clear days, visitors can see Tai Mo Shan to the north, Castle Peak to the north-west, Lantau Peak to the west, Tate's Cairn to the north-east and Lamma Island to the south.
Access
Unlike nearby Victoria Peak, there are no roads or cable cars up High West. East of the summit, a recently renovated trail near the junction of Hatton, Lugard and Harlech Roads leads to the top. West of the summit starting from Lung Fu Shan View Compass, there is a rock climb of about 180 metres that leads to the top for rock-climbing experts. This climb is treacherous and is not safe on windy or wet days.
