Bouldering
Sarawak is blessed with lots and lots of limestone outcrops and so
there are lots of rocks to play and boulder on. Another place good to
boulder is Bako National Park - sandstone on the flats.
Abseiling
There
are many places to abseil from but the Fairy Caves at Bau has
an opening that stands 100 meters above street level and provides us one of
the longest abseil in Malaysia. We usually do shorter abseils as warm-up to
the long 60 meter ride.
Going down...
Rope Activities
There are also many areas where once can do SRT - single rope
technique. This includes ascending, abseiling, Tyrolean, and all the
rope disciplines necessary for adventure racing and adventure caving.
Tyrolean traverse is widely used for adventure racing.
Another variation of traversing across gashing streams.
Ascending is another adventure racing activity by SRT.
Perhaps one of the most fun activity would be to go on a 100 meter long flying fox over a waterfall.
This fun filled activity is designed just for that FUN and adventure. If you never abseiled or rock climbed on natural rock before this is perfect for you.
0900 depart
Kuching and get to Bukit Kapur. We begin the day by abseiling - going
through all the basic and safety. You will do two short runs
before doing the 100m above street level 'big run'. Go on short caving
walk. Break for lunch under the shade of the cool limestone. Continue
activity with rock climbing. Guides will rig top rope* climbs. Again
instruction will be given on the basic of climbing and after clipping in
you'll be climbing the Batman Wall. We expect to complete all activities
by 1600 where we'll pack up and return back to Kuching.
*top rope: rope will go from belayer (the guy holding your safety rope
with safety equipment) to the top of the climb and back down to you.
When you ascend, the belayer will take in the rope and there is no
chance of you falling.
