The Dog Teeth Range in Lantau Island is widely known as the most challenging and dangerous hike in Hong Kong. The are 3 key hiking trail to Kau Nga Ling summit (539m): West Dog Teeth (most challenging trail due to its steep ridge on many section), Middle Dog Teeth and East Dog Teeth. The video captures of ascent from Middle Dog Teeth to Kau Nga Ling and the famous ridge “Life Line” and then descending down via the East Dog Teeth.

Even though the West Dog Teeth has a more precarious and steep ridge hike, each of the trail has their own challenges. The last climb via Middle Dog Teeth to the Lifeline is heart stopping and descending vis East Dog Teeth is not joke either. Since the East Dog Teeth is not a properly maintained trail, we literally has to sit on our asses on all four for hours to descend the trail. We started our hike from Shek Pik Reservoir and the country trail before turning into the Middle Dog teeth. Once at the Kau Nga Ling summit, we retraced our hike back for 500m and then descend via East Dog teeth. The whole journey took us almost 6 hours to complete with a total elevation gain of roughly 600m.

We were inspired by the movie “14 Peaks” in Netflix and thought that perhaps we could do the same here in Hong Kong. So in the coming 14 weeks, we will gather some of our friends and colleagues from the aviation industry in an attempt to do something different. We has been through so many challenges in the last 2 years and we are hoping this would inspire some positivity in our current situation and to show we can come out stronger than before.
