About this experience

Outdoor rock climbing is unique due to its blend of physical challenge, mental focus, and connection with nature.

The natural setting offers a sense of adventure and exploration, with changing weather and environmental conditions adding unpredictability.

Climb amidst the iconic paddy field of Alor Setar, kedah, offering a unique visual treat you won’t find anywhere else in Kuala Lumpur. Unlike the urban view of batu caves in Kuala Lumpur, our routes provide a serene and picturesque backdrop exclusive to the northern part of the country.
