I so wanted to bog this a couple of weeks back…
I’ve found a new LOVE
Met this guy…in Nike Women for Love Event about 1 month back…and fell in love
Yes fell face on in love with the sport he was into…I’m referring to the sport not da man!!
I’m in Love with Rock Climb duh!! ....lol
Where did this all come about? Da love…da passion…
Just like how I LOVE my BC… Da challenge and trills and excitement makes me bagging for more…
Crazy as it sounds…dats me…CRAZY
Other then dat…for me, people and place are the most important aspects of any endeavor. Being outside with an experienced climber who is trusted and respected is, to me, a perfect place to start climbing. I can't say I was this lucky. I was so..so.. lucky to hav meet dis bunch of climbers. They even formed a group called Green Trekkerz.
So what do I need to climb?
When I went for my 1st climb, I know next to zero about rock climb…
Albert (this guy I met in Nike Women event) he said just bring yourself and a bottle of water.. That’s it?
That’s it!! That’s exactly what I did. With self confidence…stamina and endurance of my many many Combat classes and RPM classes I made my self up on to da rocks..
Some pictures I took on my 1st climb…
…2nd climb
And I’m so into it that I’m searching on da Internet on climb techniques…there’s just so much to learn…but everything said and done, experience comes in as da most important aspect.Follow your intuition is wat on of da climbers told me. If you feel dat’s a good grip, take it. No one knows better of your body then u yourself.

what are the charges like? usually how long it takes? As in travelling time to get to the climb location and the climb duration? Always wanted to get into it but never had the time yet. But still interested to know what the cost like. As you know hobbies are really a waste of money but they are an addiction we just cant forgo. Thanks.
You can choose to climb in a climbing gym...those in m'sia would b at Summit in Subang or Camp 5 in 1 Utama. It's quite costly though from 20-30 ringgit.
There's also outdoors. I was somehow lucky and fortunate coz there are experience climbers to help me wif my 1st climb and my second..and so on
At da moment i dun hav my own climbing tools ie harnest, shoes, ropes, chalks...etc.
But if i do this more frequent in da future i would get my own shoes and harnest. That for sure will cost me a bomb..but for da LOVE of it...It's worth it!!
yah. the ones i see in the shopping mall is what put me off. I prefer the great outdoors. But do they charge you a small fee to use the equipments? But shoe definately you have to buy your own la. And also where is the outdoor location. Nearby to klang valley. Can do in one day or need overnight trip? Thanks for the info
outdoor's the best. but indoor, you can practice climbing and skills. and does nto matter if its a raining or sunny day.
i do enjoy 1 utama camp 5. their route is challegning. however,you can get your belayer certification at summit as it is cheaper...like rm90 cheaper!
in 1utAMA they have 3 walls with auto belayer. so you can even climb alone!
outdoor.. nearby batu caves...that would b day trip..
da group i'm in they hav spare shoes & harness. When u really enjoy climbing, of course u r encourage to get ur own..otherwise no charges
