Get a massage and a tan, Surf the waves or just hang around. A world famous surfing spot on Bali. At Uluwatu you'll enjoy a lot. Watch the surfers and the tides from the top of the cliff @ the little surfshops. Boulder the overhangs [ don't forget to bring tape ]. Enter the beach at low tide through the cave. Bath in the little hot pools at low tide. Nice for a couple days. See the Awesome Sundown.

In 1988 we didn't have climbing shoes / couldn't afford it

Lemah Syahwat is left of the difficult Red Shadow. A short route above the cave.

Inno N. did the 2nd ascent, july 1988.

When coming to Jakarta we flew the cheaper Iraqi Airways. While in Cikandang we heard the BBC world news on a crackin radio about the Kuwait invasion. It was a real hassle getting new tickets home. Hence the name.

This is an old photograph of Harau, published in 1914.

Pictured just after the crux. This route is right above the cave that is high up the cliff. Looking down the cave is a nice view to the ground some 80 mtr below. Be Carefull, don't slip here!

Swallow?, Bastard! is on the left side.

the crimps. Andreas back in 1991

The TVRI route is made by Skygers. It starts from the caves on the lower left side. A traverse and then up. Protection is bad. Grade +/- 5.8/5.9 It's me in 1986.

The dutch painter Leo Eland put Harau on canvas in the 1930's

This is on the left side before 'till death ... A project by Inno. Guess no one has ever topped this off. It should be about 7b+

Gunung Gajah. Picture taken in 1987 on the Trupala SMA 6 expedition. Andesite. The rock is poor though. On the backgound Gunung Slamet.

Yet another picture of the route i've made in 1990. It's a short 6b+ / 5.10d. With 5 bolts. A maillon to descent.

One of the nicest routes here in Citatah 125.

Leo Eland did pictured much rock on canvas. This one somewhere in South Sulawesi [former Celebes]. Known for the many Big limestone walls with the occational rock graves.

This is Parang. Picture taken @ the Trupala SMA 6 Parang East Wall Expedition 1986.

This was published in 1988, when the french came. One route at the top is named Laba-Laba [spider]. Guess it resembles the Weisse Spinne? So this is where it all began regarding Rock Climbing in Indonesia. Thanx Skygers for all the effort.

till death do us part 6b+/6c. a little route on the hidden hunchback west-java - Indonesia

traversing diagonally to the left after the crux moves at the beginning for now it's just streching.
