Hi,
Anyone here ever climbed Pinnacles before? I read it from internet resources that the track is kinda hard. Anyone could give me some tips or guides before i venture on my climb? Thank you very much :)

Well, I didn't climb the Pinnacles but visited the near by Mulu Caves/Mulu National Park. Maybe you can get info relating to the Mulu National Park website. My last visit it was mentioned either you can fly to the NP by air and have a look at the Pinnacles from air, or opt to jungle trek. If I remember correctly, even if you climb you will only be able to watch them froma distance. Do check-it out before you decide but I must recommend you to visit the Caves and the bat sighting, its unforgetable.

My trek party did the Pinnacles last year - it was a real killer - I chickened out. Most said they wished they hadn't started.

On the flip side the Mulu Caves are a must ! 7 kms of lifelong memory. Take a guide and gallons of water - you will need both - and dont suffer from claustrophobia.

I am hoping to do the Red Ape Trail over christmas this year.
