Camp5

Hello NP climbers! I'm sure everyone has heard about our trip to Camp5 in KL during our 2 week holiday. We had a really great time there! Maybe some of you aren't sure or do not know what camp5 is. It's actually the biggest indoor rock climbing gym in Asia. It was the first time for many for us there, so we didn't know what to expect. But I'm sure we've all learnt to..
GO HANG OURSELVES. ;)

Meanwhile, enjoy the photos and the quick summary of our trip there! :D


Taken outside the pro shop of camp5, many of us did our shopping there!
