TR Fairy Caves in East Malaysia 4-Nov-2012 At 2:53:06 PM jgoding

Thanks for the TR! I wish I had of found it a few days ago - I am just finishing up in Mulu National Park and managed to miss climbing here! (after asking all the park rangers if there was any climbing around here and being told no!). There is a stack of great looking limestone here, lots around camp 5, not to mention "The Pinnacles" which look like they would be real fun to climb. It's weird though - the rangers say they are not keen to bolt any of these formations, but it seems fine to whack in stacks of bolts, ladders, ropes on the very steep track in. I said why not bolt a route on the side facing away from the lookout point so you don't see them, and was met with a baffled stare of mis-understanding. Hopefully someone else will have better luck with the locals than me and get a route or two established. It would be a killer hike up with new routing gear, drill etc though! It's super steep.

I'm off to Kuching next though, so hope to have more luck there. Thanks again.
