this was supposed to be a natural pro ascent of this route and a real training session. err, it was just too tempting to clip the bolts...

Loong gives it a try on this nice little testpiece. Check out the folks on this crowded day at Fumakilla! Later someone ripped off a block in " Because I got HIgh" and destroyed some ropes below :)

The Pledge is one of the best routes in Malaysia: a fantastic piece of sophisticated climbing on perfect rock. Here you can see the climber moving towards the technical crux.

Jeremy did not have much time, as the first raindrops of a thunderstorm were already falling onto climber and belayer. Just before the anchor Jeremy ripped off a rock and dropped it onto Lee´s shoulder, who took it with ease and his usual smile. Respecting Lee´s stoic patience the routename reflects the short-story of the ascent.

This is a beautiful and interesting climb that conquers a gigantic flake at the end of the route.

As you can see, all boulderproblems can be climbed to the very top. as the wall leans back in a large featureless radius the chances are high that the real crux starts up there!

Paklah is just moving through the technical zone of this beautiful route, steering toward the next stalactite...

This shot is taken from the belay station at the top of the first pitch. Lily just has cruised the crux, unimpressed by the photographer.

This shot was taken for a special feature shown in Going Places, the inflight mag of MAS. the article was destined to make more visitors aware of the climbing possibilities around KL.

Gua Musang is an optimal venue for beginners. Plenty of easy and not too high routes on bombastic and nicely featured rock. This foto was taken at our camp trip with the French School of KL end of Sept 2003.

This beautiful route was the first to be bolted in Sector Shieldtox, when we decided to open easier routes in order to make this place more popular for the climbing community. The route got its name when Jeremy - directly after bolting - went for the FA, however, had to climb down being already half way up cos the call of nature was stronger than the urge of finishing the route.

This beautful route climbs the prominent stalactite in the center of the convex crag of Red Rocks. The route was opened in 1995 by Yuen-Li.

Osmosis was the first route to be bolted in Nyamuk, right through the middle of the later named Sector Dengue. This route starts with a pumpy stalagtite joining in stamina climbing on crimps, a technical crux and again a pumpy stalactite to reach the anchor at 37m

Its all about bridging and stepping, rough force wont help... This is the first multi pitch climb in Nyamuk. Bring along a 60 m rope and don't forget to tie knots at the end for abseiling, as this particular pitch is 30 m long

this is the left part of the double hill structure of bukit keteri. 54 routes have been set up here in 5 days during the mammut/camp5 expedition in feb2007

We made it to this point just before darkness. Travis cruises the easy moves after the crux of the pitch (not visible in this shot). Another 3 pitches to the top from here; the last two we climbed in the light of our headlamps
