Topo by: Muhamad Syahmi Farhan
Have tried the spot last weekend. Didnt climb on Road side sections – not so nice for belay – you literally have to belay from road with some traffic and half of Road section B blocked by parked cars. The River side is nice. There are few new routes which you cant find on topo. What is grade the route #10 – Unfinished Route? looks like awesome but hard route ( was scared to try… ) Thanks!
Saya nak datang dengan kawan-kawan masa cuti raya cina.. saya nak tanya berapa ringgt.
Atiqah,
Don’t think you have to pay.. Just turn up and climb. I might try to go there in the next couple of days too.
