Finally, finally, climbed outdoors. In ipoh, lost world of tambun to be exact. The land with abundance of limestone caverns and towering walls of solid sharp jagged rock.
Drove down early saturday before dawn as to maximise climbing time. The foursome. Me, brad, chikhan and jordan. Joined by noel, and the 2 austrians marianne and johannes. Them in their bangvan, we in suzy.
Proceeded to be slightly high on (suspectedly)magic mushrooms somewhere between slim river and kampar. Because chikhan apparently stuck his ass out of the rear window everytime he had the urge to fart. Attempted to fart outside with the travelling wind but instead the stench will somehow leech back into the car.
There's a place in ipoh called simee, which reminds me of the portugese football player simao.
Okay random. The dimsum there's pricey as well.
So then we had many pictures taken. Plenty of topless ones.
Testing the aerodynamics of jordan's new la sportiva katanas.
Educating marianne and johannes about siewmais, cheecheongfuns and hakaus.
Raring to climb.
The lost world of tambun. Magnificent landscape.

The Climbing Foursome
Us in bouldering action.
Okay so i jammed the stupid picture loader. I seemed to have hit the picture-uploading brickwall again. I'll have more pictures up when i feel like it.
After all the climbing, jordan, chikhan and i were to slide about the water park like bloody pre-adolescent kids while the rest retired back to their shabby, sleazy deluxe hotel room.
They proceeded to lead-climb the next day which left us battered hope of learning how to lead. The 3 of us set for home sweet home on the day we arrived instead and after chikhan managed to tear up his pants on the water slide. I think they both got their balls hard-boiled in the hot springs as well.
So much for another climbing post.
