91 routes in nine days - the result of assault landing of rock climbers in Malaysia organized by Mammut. Every year the company plans a trip for their pro-climbers to completely new climbing regions of the world. The expedition was taken on behalf of the Sultan of Perlis, who, as well as his family members, is a keen climber. The regent family not only had a personal interest in putting up new, interesting routes in the region, they also hope the results of the expedition will attract climbing tourists to visit Malaysia.
David Lama and Reini Scherer had a task to open two or three new routes per day hoping to set up at least one 8c +. In Perlis the team concentrated on the rocks of Bukit Keteri. Here, the Crown Prince of Perlis and his Wife were the first to climb at this crag.
As a result of Mammut/Camp 5 bolting expedition 50 routes in all grades have been set up, but the crag can hold much more routes. The rock is excellent and the views are impressive. According to the team members, the southern hill has a great potential for future multi-pitch routes while the northern hill features a cave system that cuts through the mountain at mid-height.
Mammut team: David Lama, Reini Scherer, Cedric Lachat, Christina Schmid (Switzerland), Anna Stohr and Katharina Saurwein (Austria), Juliane Wurm (Germany).
