Batu Caves: Escala y Transfórmate | Aventura Vertical Única

La práctica de escalada ha estado bien. El monitor muy atento y te da seguridad. La alcistas muy bonitos. La roca desprender mucho calor y es resbaladiza

Los monitores muy amables y simpáticos. A tener en cuenta que sólo te dejan en las Cuevas después de escalar.

Nosotros (cuatro escaladores) reservamos la excursión para experimentar la escalada al aire libre en Malasia: Eddie vino con dos miembros adicionales del equipo, por lo que nos cuidaron todo el tiempo. Colocaron cuerdas superiores en varias rutas diferentes, aumentando en nivel y longitud. Conocen todos los movimientos y se mantienen allí, por lo que obtuvimos buenos consejos sobre cómo llegar a la cima. Fue una tarde desafiante en el risco, lo disfrutamos mucho!

Pasé un tiempo fantástico escalando con Eddie y su equipo. Muy recomendable, las rutas son excelentes y son excelentes para todos los niveles de habilidad. Aprendí algunos buenos consejos de escalada ya que Eddie es un escalador realmente experimentado. Reservé mi sesión en el último minuto y Eddie fue realmente complaciente. Todo estaba listo cuando llegué y conseguí completar mi escalada.

Reservé la escalada por medio día el domingo por la mañana. Estaba un poco indeciso porque el pronóstico del tiempo decía lluvia, y porque mi conductor de Grab se rió incontrolablemente cuando le conté lo que estaba haciendo y llegamos a la ubicación. Bueno, no tenía nada de qué preocuparme! El día era hermoso, y las subidas eran extremadamente seguras y divertidas. Hicimos 4 subidas diferentes, cada una en dificultad creciente. Aunque anteriormente me subí al interior de mi gimnasio, fue mi primera escalada al aire libre. No creo que alguna vez quiera volver a escalar en interiores, al aire libre es mucho más interesante y desafiante. También debo decir que Eddie y Eyeni (sp?) Hicieron que la escalada fuera increíblemente especial. Fueron muy alentadores y útiles. ¡Me gustaría poder hacer todas las actividades con ellos! ??

Eddie y su equipo son todo lo que necesitas para experimentar tu expedición de escalada en roca virgen. ¡No solo las cuevas de Batu son adecuadas para escaladores principiantes, con la increíble guía y el apoyo de Eddie, en realidad serás seguro y exitoso en tu ascenso a la satisfacción personal de escalar una pared de roca natural!

Gran escalada y guías. Teníamos un pequeño grupo así que no había mucho tiempo de espera. Los guías fueron serviciales y amables. Yo lo recomendaría.

Batu Caves - Redemption Song (5.10), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I only have good things to say about Eddie Ang and MIR (mountain, ice, rock) Adventures based out of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Eddie is definitely a part of the climbing establishment in KL; he has been guiding since 2010 with total almost twenty years rock climbing experience. The experience shows. Eddie is comfortable in his own skin, exudes calm, is patient, is very competent, and is mature. He's got high-altitude alpine experience (China), knows the rock climbing scene very well in Malaysia (sport & trad), big wall, ice climbing, and offers climbing lessons. Vacationing in Singapore, I wanted another SE Asia climbing experience from an earlier visit. SG's outdoor scene is pretty nonexistent (although they have a number of indoor sites to stay sharp) but KL is a quick hour flight away (at very reasonable prices). I reached out to Eddie, gave him my background, and told him what I was looking for (a half-day, multipitch climb, non-lead, comfort around 5.7 YDS grading). He recommended a three-pitch climb in the 5.9-5.10 range. At first I wondered if he heard me correctly. Haha. The morning of the climb, it rained heavily. I wasn't too phased, and Eddie wasn't either. I've come to realize rock climbing guides are a different breed. They do their jobs day in and day out. Are highly competent and can operate in adverse conditions. Eddie was true to form that morning. Malaysia is all about limestone (my first experience). Yeah... the rock was pocketed and filled with holes ... but it was 'rock' solid (not chalky, flaking, or loose). And there were tons of 'jug'-'luggage' holds! I loved it and felt safe. Granite-igneous climbing - in my limited experience is a lot of foot smears, crack wedging, and tip of fingers holds. Eddie was professional and on point the entire day. He explains things well (strong grasp of English). His calmness rubs off on the climber (yes, the first pitch received most of the rainfall, was slippery, and made me anxious - first time climbing outdoors on wet rock). 73 meters over three pitches is a long way (probably total two hours, two-quarter hours of solid climbing minus the rappel-abseil). I was able to do pitch one clean. Second pitch was not clean for me but still free climbing. Third pitch was out of the question: the 5.10d section was where I was fatigued (I work in an office typing all day and have pole-thin forearms. haha). For a section of the third pitch I engaged in aid climbing reverting to free climbing for the last push to the top. For Eddie, it was all bread and butter; just another 'day at the office' for him. While climbing we talked about 'pushing our envelopes'. Eddie knew that the climbing was beyond my comfort zone, but he read me right in that I do like to challenge myself and improve. In that way, a guide who leads you on a route that is more challenging than what you want is providing you the opportunity to improve. I respect that mindset and completely agree with it. Scenery was nice - urban climbing with a lot of vegetation and KL's Bukit-Hills in the background making for nice vistas. 73 meters is high. The rappelling-abseiling was fun. The rain cooled the air and no issues with mosquitoes that day. The government spent money and resources on the infrastructure at Gua Damai Extreme Park around many of the climbing routes to facilitate the climbing scene - which is nice not having to bushwhack or machete-navigate the approach. There are dozens, hundreds more climbing routes not only in the KL region but in other spots around Malaysia. A climbing enthusiast could spend a good two to three months discovering Malaysia. Eddie's fees were very reasonable. The U.S. dollar is strong and accommodations and food in the KL region are affordable. He was amendable to input and how we spent the day. Great experience. These are the type of experiences that brings a climber and traveler back around for a second pass. I highly recommend Eddie Ang and MIR Adventures to anyone rock climbing in the region. Cheers.

Wonderful/ must do experience in Malaysia. The guides were amazing and made sure I felt safe and also pushed myself to reach the top. Made some unforgettable memories with this one

I had an awesome experience climbing with the wonderful Ky from Mir Adventures. Booking was easy, Eddie was really responsive and gave great advice on which trip to book based on my climbing experience. The climb at Kura Kura was so beautiful and so much fun, each pitch was different and the limestone was great to climb on. Ky was a great guide, I was very impressed by the safety measures & his encouraging ways of leading. I would 100% recommend this trip and would definitely return.
