루트들 스포츠 클라이밍로서 Batu Caves에서

Left of Harry's Code, leading through reddish rock on constantly good holds. First of a series of easy routes that were bolted with the aim to offer a new climbing area to the KL climbing community.

Technical slab-climbing for most of the route, however the finish is overhanging on big squared holds.

Route that leads into the prominent flake in the centre of Shieldtox. Crux at the end when you are forced to leave the cosy environment of the inside of the flake.

Monsoon got its name because it rained when they were bolting this route (or something to that effect).

Exposed climbing left of Diaper Jaya. The route is marked by the prominent roof that awaits the challenger after 20 m of nice, but dicey climbing. This roof leads to a perfect hand crack. Where the crack ends the crux starts (just before the anchor)

Shares start with Shiok Sendiri, then heads right up the slab to a bulge where the crux is waiting. Then follows a jugfest that makes you smile.

Start left of Shiok Sendiri, similar outfit, but a little bit easier than Shiok. The rapell anchor was placed low in order to keep the difficulties moderate.

Follows Diaper Jaya for 6 bolts, then heads left up through the reddish crumbly looking rock onto the ledge and spacey to the anchor.

Also, Route Extension: "Just realized" (6b) 25mtr. (Akmal Noor 2003) Original Lightning Grip anchor removed.

1 of the 3 routes that shares the same 1st bolt. 2nd bolt located on the left side then continue to go slightly left afterward till the end.

1 of 3 routes that shares the 1st bolt. Clip on the right for the 3rd clip, the route end inside a shallow cave with the anchor full of bird faeces.

Follows the first 4 bolts of 'In Guns We Trust' then heads left to follow a black stain.

The climb that has a beautiful tufa for the first half

1 of the 3 routes that share the 1st bolt. This route shares the 2nd bolt with Fist Full of Hangers. Continue straight afterward to the highest anchor located after the stalactite cave.

Juggy crux with polished left foothold after the small cave (rest point). Advise to use longer draws to reduce rope drag.

Right exit variation of Bangsar Babes leading on top of the big ledge.

Grade changed to match occurrence in Damai Left Wall

Nice line following the black dihedral left of Bowel Movement, sharing the same anchor.

Extension of an old route ‘Fake Meat’, leads out right from the anchor at the obvious ledge.

3rd pitch is 11 bolts so bring plenty of draws.

same anchor with Aimless

Stalactasy, short for Stalactite Ecstasy, starts in a small cave at the left-most end of the Kura Kura crag, climbing up and into a cave for the 2nd pitch, then popping back out for the 3rd and 4th pitches on a different face from that on which you started. The climbing is varied, maxing out at 6a+ on the 2nd and 3rd pitches. Pitch 2 is undoubtedly the money pitch, as most of it is completely enclosed in the cave and stalactites loom large all around.

The route was bolted over a few weekends in June 2023, ground-up and on lead rope solo (save pitch 4 which was bolted with a belayer), so the bolt lines meander a little. Nevertheless all pitches have been climbed several times on lead and rope drag is not an issue. Bolts have been placed fairly close, in more modern sport bolting style, so less experienced lead climbers, fear not.

10 draws and a 60m rope will see you to the top and back down in 2 rappels. 50m rope means 4 rappels, stopping at each anchor to reset. Anchors are all 2 bolts, with either 4 locking carabiners or 4 stainless steel quicklinks (2 on each bolt).

More handlines have been added to the more slippery sections of the approach, which takes anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes. Kura Kura is a beautiful crag that deserves more traffic, and hopefully this route contributes to more climbers visiting this gem of a crag.

Pitch 1 (5b)

Head up and slightly left on a series of sharp holds for the first bolt. Then bear right into the obvious vertical tube. Exit the tube and traverse right across a small arete to gain the anchors.

Pitch 2 (6a+)

Traverse right from the anchors using the rope slung around the large stalactite for protection. Head up and into the darkness, following the obvious right corner. Bear up and left at the bulge. Clip the long rope sling to protect the move across the gap. Bit of a squeeze right at the end to gain the anchors.

This pitch emphasises spatial awareness, with stemming/bridging moves galore, so when in doubt, don't forget to look behind you.

Pitch 3 (6a+)

From the anchors, traverse left over a small bulge to the left-hand corner. Follow the corner as it trends up and left to the halfway mark then, still in the corner, straight up to the anchors. This pitch is mainly vertical face climbing, with some nice sections that require more technique than just top-loading holds and pulling.

Note: 2 bolts have been placed heading straight up from the anchors of pitch 2 - this is an unfinished line. The route was bolted ground-up and this line proved too difficult to continue bolting after the 2nd bolt. Hanger plate has been removed from the 2nd bolt and a locking carabiner left on the 1st bolt, allowing for retreat in case of any false starts.

Pitch 4

BEWARE! Freshly bolted and due to parties below, minimal cleaning was done. Some big loose blocks remain that need to be pushed off. Can still be easily climbed, but take care to test holds before fully weighting them. This pitch is mostly a scramble with a few climbing moves thrown in, and is nothing special save that it takes you to the summit.

1st anchor after 9 bolts. 4 more bolts to reach the 2nd anchor just above the roof

This route is located on the extreme right of the right wall/section (the last bolted route) that starts on a wall with some grafitti on it. The route is a short 5-6m inclined bouldery sport climb with only 3 bolts and features a couple of bad crimps at the crux!

Original guide had this route as Senjang Gila, but at some point was renamed to Sunday. Reverted to original name but no change in grade

Located left of Split Impression. Technical climbing from the ground up that kicks into high gear at the crux. A new Nanyang classic.

Anchor changed & updated on Sept 2020, from sling anchor to stainless steel chain anchor by Shinyee

Located on the left of Kek Lapis. Route is slightly shorter than Kek Lapis, crux part is slightly overhang.

Note that there is a severe rope drag on this route especially after you clip in right below the crux. 12 bolt and 2 threads.

A bit polished, open pinches, slopers and underclings!

Extension of the original route, skip the original anchor to avoid rope drag. Climb straight through the stalactite hole and the anchor is above.

The lower half of November '61. Starts on underclings to the right of the first bolt. Leads to an anchor on the large shelf.
