I finally did Pinnacles! Yes it was one of those few finally kind of trip, I favour adventure, any kind of adventures or outdoors; hence the Pinnacles view point at Mulu National Park has long catches my attention.
After a 2-year delay, here I am, standing in awe admiring God's majestic creation. But hey, my new friend took 10-year to finally climb up this infamous Pinnacles in Mulu National Park, Sarawak. I didn't wait that long after all.
So, the climb typically can be completed in a 4 days 3 nights trip from KL, Malaysia:
Day 1 - travel into Mulu National Park via MASwings
Day 2 - Long boat ride to Long Litut then a 9km walk in the forest on very flat terrain to Camp 5.
Day 3 - ascend of 2.4km to the Pinnacles view point takes approximately 3.5hrs, then another 3hrs descent to Camp 5. The terrain is mostly very steep.
Day 3 - ascend of 2.4km to the Pinnacles view point takes approximately 3.5hrs, then another 3hrs descent to Camp 5. The terrain is mostly very steep.
Day 4 - depart camp 5 to Long Litut, then hop onto the long boat ride out to the National Park, loiter in the park till flight home!
A 4 days 3 nights trip will also give you some opportunity to explore some of the caving adventure. If you are extreme caving adventure, do not missed explore Mulu caving, heard it has not disappoint any caving enthusiast.I did not do any caving, instead manage to squeeze in a 10km run near the homestay in the park, plus manage to swim at the Çlearwater cave hut which I missed during my first trip to Mulu many years ago.
