Lamma
Literally one reachy, "bouldery" move. Maybe V4/5 would be a more fitting description, and it actually is really decent fun if you've done everything else, but definitely, don't come to Sok Kwu Buttress with just this in mind :)

Slabby start and pumpy finish. Great warm up route for the other climbs in the sector!

There must be a hundred different ways to climb this, but however you choose to do so, it has interesting holds and one of the only compression/ tight heel hooking lines I've climbed in Hong Kong.

Small holds and shallow/sharp pockets makes this line a fairly easy one once you know what you're going for and how much of your pad you can get on it. Not a give me, and certainly more demanding on the fingers than the 'soft V7' would suggest.

Who's downgrading all these problems! (strong guys...) Felt reasonable and besides a fairly tough first two/three moves, the rest is flowy.

Enigma left

Not an incredibly meaningful variation, but true to it's name, you just move slightly left compared to 'Enigma'. There is certainly possibility for a direct line even further left...

Condition dependent because of the small crimpers, but if you find a nice cool day at Shek O, this one is well worth the effort.

I think a lot of people struggle with standing up out of the sit start, but the movement on the line is top tier, and there's a very exciting finishing move to the jug.

Locked and Loaded(sds)

Boulder
at

Much better than the stand Lok and Load, because it just naturally feels like the 'truer' line. One move wonder, and it's not the slap that's the wonder, but the set up to jump into it.

Bring lots of extra skin because you'll leave it behind. Nice little cruxy sequence and insecure finish (for me anyways)

Another "bouldery" line. Committing to flash, but excellent movement overall.
1 star because it is over after the third bolt, but awesome 3 bolt sequence.

Super interesting movement at the bottom followed by a deceptive crux. The wonderful view and seabreeze doesn't hurt either.
