Rock Climbing (Part 2)

 
 This time I went to Putrajaya Challenge Park for rock climbing
The entrance fee is RM6 for adults and RM3 for students
You will also need to pay for the shoes (rented), harness (rented) and belayer service
You can always share them with your partner (up to you)

In my own opinion
The grips at Putrajaya Challenge Park were much further away compare to the one at Camp 5 One U
 So
This made the whole process a lot harder
I could only manage to climb the beginner's section (reaching the top)

Rock climbing is really a good sport for you to keep fit by burning calories
It can improve your cardiovascular health and increase muscle tone
It targets the muscles in our arms, chest, back and also legs
So
With only one type of workout
You will get a really nice and fit body 

Like all the other strenuous exercises
We warmed up by doing bouldering for a few minutes
Then
We got to do the real thing-rock climbing
 

My friend and I were already exhausted and sweating profusely after the first climb
This was because we seldom do exercises
Luckily
We had some time off while the other person went for the climb (we took turns)
Since we shared the harness (to save cost)

Do not worry about the one hour belayer service if you are thinking it is too short
To be honest
We cannot climb continuously for 1 hour
As for me
I needed few minutes break after each climb
So 
1 hour climb is really enough for beginners

 People said that you would somehow get addicted to rock climbing after your first try
I think it worked for me
I'm really addicted to it 
Until all I could think of after the climb was that when would be the NEXT time

Australia Part 11- Stanwell Park, Kiama Blowhole, Kings Point Retreat Ulladulla for Camping

Image
Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (need to zoom in my pi

Eco Forest One Day Trip

Have you heard of the Eco Forest in the heart of Kuala Lumpur? (Formerly known as Hutan Simpan Bukit Nanas) I only got to know about it recently And it shocked me that the city centre of KL actually has a forest?! This is the entrance that we entered from We took the monorail to Station Bukit Nanas Once you walk out from the station You will see this sign Just follow it There are actually 2 routes (one from Jalan Ampang and the other one from Jalan Raja Chulan) If you follow the Jalan Ampang route You will need to hike for approx 20-30 minutes in the Canopy Walk depending on your speed It was quite an easy hike But lesser people The Raja Chulan route is the nearest to the suspension bridge So if you just want to grab some nice Instagrammable pictures It is better to go to the Raja Chulan route Immersing ourselves in the forest There were actually very few people using this route So it is better to come in a bigger group of people And remember to bring mo

Palladium Cafe KL & Batu Caves

Image
On one fine day (3rd of August) Our original plan was to have our lunch at NU Sentral followed by Palladium Cafe KL But we ended up with a half day trip to the Batu Caves Unexpected trips are the best right? So after having done some shopping and lunch at Pasta Zanmai We took the KTM to Taman Wahyu According to one blog The Palladium Cafe is actually within 10-15 minutes walk from the Taman Wahyu KTM station We initially followed But unfortunately there was some construction going on that day So they blocked the roads (you can still walk there but it will be quite dangerous given that you have to walk besides the highway with speeding cars) After walking for about 10 minutes We walked back to the ktm station and took a cab instead (which only cost us RM3 cuz it was really near) It was a great workout especially when we had to carry the shopping bags and walk under the evil hot sun! Your mood will be instantl
