Entrance of Karuna Hill
The crag is near to the river, after climb can swim. Land is private but it is on the public path/road. Means it is 24 hours open. But we still need to be quiet because a lot of homestay there, people expect quiet environment. |

6c
★★ Si Katik Sadis ( Wall Section 1 )
NH- Si- the, Katik- short, Sadis - Sick.In other words, it is the shortest and hardest route at that time in Jesselton's wall. |
6a+
★★ Sister Psychosis ( Wall Section 1 )
NH- Ong Wooi Jin once climbed the route and screamed so hard (on the crux) it sounded like a woman giving birth. It’s almost psychotic. |
6a+
★★ You, Me and Dog named Blue ( Wall Section 1 )
NH – Every time Corey asked his climbing partner (Wooi Jon) to climb and said who else are going to climb ? W. Jin would reply "You, me and a dog named Blue". In other words, just the two of them. |
6b
★★ The Cream of Extreme ( Wall Section 1 )
NH – unknown |
6a+
★★★ From London with Love ( Wall Section 1 )

6a+
★★★ The Tooth ( Wall Section 1 )
NH – The big rock on the route that looks like one of the pioneer climber’s tooth (Saiful) as he only has one tooth in his entire mouth. |
6a
★ Dead Monkey ( Wall Section 1 )
NH – When the route was first ascended, there was a skeleton of a dead monkey on top of the anchor. Warning: The current state of the hangar and bolts are questionable due to long term exposure to waterway, a few of the bolts and hangars are partially rusted. Anchor has also been removed due to reason unknown. Climb at own risk. Suggest to use the nearest anchor on the right to avoid rope drag if you really wants to try this route. |
6a
★★ Merdeka Ride & Climb Tour 2019
Bolted by Indonesian bolters from Bandung. Route extension: 2 more bolts added with complete anchor on 26/01/2020 |

★★★ Whistle Blower ( Wall Section 2 )
Part of new routes bolted at 2012. Located just right of Merdeka Ride & Climb Tour 2019. |
7c+/8a
★★ "Soon" Wu Kong / Monkey God ( Wall Section 2 )
This route was named based on a 16th century novel in china- Journey to the West, a main charater called Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King. In the novel, he is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices. After rebelling against heaven and being imprisoned under a mountain by the Buddha, he later accompanies the monk Xuanzang on a journey to retrieve Buddhist sutras from India. And the name "Sun" was changed to "Soon" as suggested by a pioneer Penang climber to appreciate Soon’s efforts who have contributed, setup and bolted the additional new routes in Jesselton’s wall and included the hardest and the first ever 8a grade route(arguable) in Penang. (Remarks : For Png climber : 8a with limited hand & foot hold access which marked in white color paint) |
7b
★★★ No Man's Land Direct ( Wall Section 2 )
This place is located just behind a housing estate. So, keep the noise level low when approaching the site.No restriction of access so far. |
7a+
★★ No Man's Land ( Wall Section 2 )
Start from slightly right. NH – The route is so far away from all the other routes that it’s on "No Man’s Land". And it was the hardest route in Jesselton’s wall at that time. |
7b+
★★★ Feel The Sun ( Wall Section 2 )
The route was named after a remarkable "Feel The Sun" concept which shared by an ex-Penang climber who has migrated to oversea few years ago. The concept teach us to access the true power of intention through feel the Sun in manifesting our wishes and goals. So, whoever want to on-sight this route, you may find it easier by applying the concept here. |
7a
★★ Propered Anchor ( Wall Section 2 )
Part of new routes bolted at 2012 by fellow climber ( Bernard Spack ) from Switzerland. After No Man's Land 2nd route to the right. |
7c+
★ Dare to Dream, Dare to Soar ( Wall Section 2 )
Each person, at some stage in their life, has had a dream or fantasy of doing or becoming something. To climb a 8a route sound impossible and hard to imagine for me ever since I started climbing. However, until I setup and bolted this new route. Everything seems possible and reasonably doable. It was my mind holding me back all this while. So, let’s live our dream today and "I'm-Possible !" - Soon. (Remarks : For Png climber : 8a with limited hand&foot hold access which marked in white color paint.) |

First Multipitch ( Wall Section 3 )
Bolted at 2012.Just opposite the main wall. Unclimbed so far. Cautions : Those fixed slings ( yellow static rope ) at the pitches anchors are as old from the date it was bolted.Not recommended for anchoring ownself or taking any loads ( replace it with a new once are most welcome ). Do setup your own anchor using the existing metal bolts or anchor in this case for safety purposes ( update as at 17th April 2014). |

Rocking Your World ( Wall Section 3 )
This slab climb is bolted by fellow climbers from RockWorld climbing gym Kulai ,Johor. |
