Summary

The main climbing location in Sarawak.

Description

Except west-facing Zoo Wall all sections are facing south and enjoy all-day shade all day from May to September. From October to April the sun shines on these walls however, trees provide some shade. From December to April the rock also get wet as it is Heavy Rain Season. An exception is Batman Wall and Stage Wall, which can be climbed year-round and even in pretty averse weather conditions. This is due to a large roof, which provides shade until 1pm even in December and also keeps off the rain.
