Jardine’s

General

A small cluster of boulders on the hillsides above Jardine’s Lookout, near Mount Butler Quarry. Big thanks to Kelvin Wong and Tim Somerset for establishing and providing all the info on the area.

Access

Access to the boulders is gained from Mount Butler Road, which is followed to the left turn beneath the HKPF Explosive Ordnance Depot in the old Munt Butler Quarry site. Just before this turning a staircase leads up the hill on the right side of the road to eventually join a footpath contouring the hillside. Turn right on this footpath and follow it back to a platform and cut slope at the ridgeline about 250m to the west. From here follow the access staircase up the slope and dirt trails up the ridge to reach the boulders after a short distance.
