An impressive feat of mountaineering today saw yet another giant banner hung up in Hong Kong, this time on Victoria Peak.

Sporting the wording 'Don't forget the original goal' - in reference to protesters ongoing push for universal suffrage - the giant yellow sign is the fourth to have been put up by Occupy supporters over the last couple of months.

Measuring six metres long by a metre wide, the yellow and black banner was held to the cliff by several cables.

Monday saw the dismantling of Hong Kong’s last occupied zone in Causeway Bay, bringing an end to the movement that has made headlines across the world.

Last Saturday a banner of similarly large proportions - measuring six metres by two metres - was hung from Devil's Peak near Kowloon, bearing a message calling for Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung to resign.

And previously, on two separate occasions, the distinctive banners were hung from Lion Rock in the New Territories.
