I’m planning on a trip to Borneo later in the year and am finding it difficult to get any good information on the climbing. Has anyone been there to recommend what teh routes are like. I hear its mostly sports climbs but have had not much joy in finding any ‘how to get there’ or route description information.
A few routes were reported in Rock magazine no. 41 (Jan-Mar 2000), mostly of the desperate kind. If you’re near Mount Kinabalu, there’s some good climbing around the summit on good granite at 3500-4100m altitude – though often cold and wet. I did a few climbs but don’t have route descriptions. Best search the net for Kinabalu and rock climb.
just found a site called rockclimbing.com that has a forum..where you might be able to post and hopefully get some hep to your question otherwise i just did a search on altavista.com for borneo + “rock climbing” and got something like 1000+ results…
good luck and hope the whole borneo thing comes off for you
