Description

Added by Trevor Cox

Over 50 Quality Bolted Sport Routes cover these rocks seemingly placed in the middle of nowhere in Northern Malaysia. This incredible limestone crag features everything from slabby 5.6 (4) to overhanging 5.14a (8b+). Beautiful scenic views of rice paddies and endless exploration are sure to be had at Bukit Keteri. 

Drive through a large parking lot to access a dirt road leading right up to the mountains. Walk toward the mountains, and you're faced with two trails, one heading left and one heading right.

Take the trail on your right to head to the "slab" area of Bukit Keteri climbing. This side features 15+ excellently protected sport routes for the beginner and expert alike. 

If you opt for the trail on the left, you'll bushwack your way up into the first part of the cave system. There are many bolted sport routes in this first area, and continuing through the cave system will lead you to even more. These routes are increasing in difficulty, as they are mostly overhanging and not necessarily for the beginner climber. 

Regardless of where you choose to go, Bukit Keteri is an area that has been discovered by few, and it is a worthy destination to visit if you are in Thailand or Malaysia. 

We practice Pack it Out in the states and that isn't necessarily something observed in South East Asia, but we can make our efforts to help the earth be a better place by picking up a few pieces of trash that we see and taking it out. Bring a trash bag with you and help preserve the crag for the future of Malaysia's climbers.
