Batu Kurau

Batu Kurau has recently seen development in 2016 with bolting efforts by the local climbing community lead by Abang Yen and equipment and gear support from Camp5, Verticale, Bolder Ventures, Riverfront Chalet, Akmal Noor, Chaer, Pak Ngah, Pak Non, Najib Tahir, Persatuan Mendaki Malaysia, Persatuan Mendaki Taiping and the Malaysian Bolting Fund.

How to Get Here

Make your way to Kampung Perak, in the Batu Kurau district of Perak. Between asking around friendly locals and signboards, find your way to Gunung Kurau where the routes are at. You can also use this coordinate to get to the crags: 4.9304690, 100.8174980

Morning/Afternoon Sun

The wall gets sun in the morning so best to climb in the afternoons.
