We climbed yesterday, it’s free to the public at this moment because yet officially open.

Basically rental charges of gears and shoes is reasonable (RM10~RM20), unless you are looking for something above average (buy it yourself!!). They might not have your shoe size (you’ll be surprised by the amount of climbers), the officer advised us to get the gears and shoes from Singapore cause the price is cheaper than you can find in Malaysia (very helpful and honest).

Seriously it’s hard to find the place, some roads are not ready and the place is “hidden” in between presint 5 & 20. On the other hand, the place is very quiet and relaxing cause the traffic and noises is not reachable there. Even the armies were doing some rehearsal at that place.

We will surely come back next week with more frens.

Hi there Jas,

Putrajaya isnt too far out of KL. Its only a train ride away. There are plenty of climbers there and you wont have trouble finding a belay buddy. I also live nearby and can pick you frmo the train station and climb with you if I am free. Entry is still free for the foreseeable future.

In KL area we have also another gym at Camp5 and we have a few outdoor areas to climb limestone. If you like you can also go further afield and get to Ipoh (2.5 hours away) or go to the east coast to Tioman island, or into the interior to climb at Gua Musang (Fox Cave). Further up north near the Thai border there is also Bukit Keteri (Keteri Hill) which is also awesome.

Almost all of our outdoors areas are limestone.

Do you climb trad or sport?

Regards,
putra

Looks like a bloody marvellous place. Shame it’s a bit far away from KL.
Anybody climbing regularly at Putrajaya?
Is entry still free? Can I boulder at Putrajaya?
I’m visiting KL from the 22nd Oct till the 7th Nov and would love to climb in Putrajaya (or anywhere else) to see what it’s like.
But I need a belay buddy though! Anybody? I’m a safe and careful belayer, usually climb at about 6b(+) level.
Have my own harness, shoes and rope. Hope to hear from someone.

Ah you know, Malaysian Government. Never does things with their brains and never think of the need of the ‘rakyat’. Their priority is what project fills their pocket. Who will drive 1 hour to go climbing when they have a gym just at their doorstep with so much convenience? Just like the many unused facilities at Putrajaya, another ‘white elephant’ project for sure.

We as a malaysian frerunner/traceur also need a fully equipped gymnastic gym for us to train safely, this includes facilities like tumbling floor, vaulting bar, foam pit etc, feel free to watch our video to know what we are doing everyday that made us demand for such facilities.
