Hallucinations happen

This guidebook was compiled and drafted with the help of AI tools working from scans of a handwritten logbook. That means plausible-looking mistakes can slip in — a grade that was never given, a name spelled wrong, a pitch invented from an ambiguous sketch.

If something looks off, it may well be. Please flag it by either route above — every correction from someone who has actually been there makes this more trustworthy.

Known gaps

Help us close these

  • Muka (7a+, 360 m) has a heading in the record but no topo anywhere
  • Beckwith–Traver is dated both 2009 and 2011 in the same document
  • "Blood Sweat and Fear" or "Tears"? The map and the route page disagree
  • Damai Sentosa pitch grades come from a pencil sketch — approximate
  • The Puncak Nipah sport list is read off a weathered painted board
  • The North Tower via ferrata — length, grade and access details
  • Several first ascensionists are recorded only by first name
