Ascents in Malaysia

fun moves with a flowy finish

warm up dog

retro send

messed up the beginning

Was my first multi pitch experience, Kang did a super nice job placing bolts. Very memorable experience going through pitch 2 through the cave. Very recently bolted and maintained by kang.

Don't go with loose bags as the ascent is a scramble, both hands needed.

Angry dogs that bark at u and could potentially be aggressive if u get too close to their pups on entry to ascent

Super recommended.

Hard

Need to jump better :'(

p1 - went to rap station 5o'clock of anchor (shared w rock root). Should go to rock root. Hand jammed on crux!! Feels 6a.

p2 - natural line up glossy holds followed by rather sketchy right traverse. Anchors around the corner. Follow bolt line. Feels 6a+ / 6b. Esp. the traverse.

p3 - starting on stalactites (how to spell? lol) on left of pitch 2 anchors, follow bolt line up. Some bolts have surface rust but should be fine. Felt like short and physical 6a, but aik says it's a lil harder.

p4 - features exactly one bolt! Will need trad gear, around BD size 0.5 - 2 cams. The start has no bolt line, so we took the middle crack up over the overhanging block (might want to look out for loose blocks). Afterwards, there's an obvious (rather pretty) crack line (w 1 bolts) to a ledge, from where you'll spot the anchors. Lots of fun (but lil sharp) hand jams!!

Rap stations were well placed. Slight swinging as usual. We ended at p4 because it looked like ugly jungleneering from there onwards.
