Full House at Nanyang
Jan 25th, 2009 | By putra | Category: Batu Caves, Featured PageA weekend after the Charity Climb, Nanyang was full again of climbers doing new and old routes. The usual kings of nanyang, GreenTrekkerz were there in their numbers, setting up hammocks and lazing under the shade of the rocks. There was a good mix of people there, experts like Shang and Shiwen together with newbies and newcomers being thought the ropes and given the run down.
Nanyang is a good place for climbers to go and climb on the weekends because of the crowd gathered there, especially if you a loner and dont have a belay buddy. Plenty of climbers there willing to help. Its also very relaxed. GreenTrekkerz pride themselves on their very laid back attitude to climbing. I noticed a lot of lying around and sitting around talking…. interspersed with these were some climbing done. 
Great comraderie.
The routes are moderately hard… there is a good range. It is nicely shielded from the sun or rain. The only complaint I have is that the routes are not as high… but if you are happy having a nice leisurely afternoon of short climbs and being out with friends…. it cant be beat. Plus its short distance to the nearby eating areas is a plus.
But its a great atmosphere and many a good climbing friend can be found and made here. I shall go back to Nanyang often. See you all there.
