About the Summit Climbing Gym
route : 'rüt (noun)
1a: a traveled way; 1b: a means of access; 2: a line of travel
To climb a route
is to make an idea a physical reality;
it is to bring a vision to inert rock.
Where others see an impenetrable obstacle,
you see flow and movement.
Where others see a barrier of body and mind,
you see a challenge and
an opportunity.

The Summit Climbing Gym, owned and operated by Nomad Adventure Sdn Bhd, is Malaysia's first
indoor rock climbing facility. Open 6 days a week with trained instructors on hand at all times,
it is the only place in the country that offers walk-in courses for the complete beginner as well
as a variety of climbing walls and training facilities for climbers of all levels, expert to novice.
Situated on the 4th Floor of the Summit USJ Shopping Mall, the gym has over 300 sq meters of
climbing walls. 30 top ropes provide the potential for more than 120 climbing routes. The colored
routes range in difficulty from about 5A to 7B (French grade). We work diligently to change routes
constantly and create interesting and challenging problems for all abilities. The Summit Climbing
Gym has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere where everyone encouraged to push their personal limits
as well as enjoy the social aspect of climbing.
Our greatest joy is introducing new climbers to the sport. First timers are given an on-the-spot
beginners' instructional course, to ensure that all climbers not only enjoy their first visit but
are also aware of the safety requirements involved in climbing. Certified Belayer cards are issued
to new climbers who pass the Basic Rock Climbing Safety Instruction Course. We also offer personal
coaching, lead climbing lessons and outdoor climbing and guide services.
Climbing is a sport unlike any other. Each climb is a puzzle, a challenge that you have to crack
with your physical skill, imagination and determination. Every climb is an opportunity to unlearn
your fears, to fight that little voice that says "just give up", to know a little bit more about
yourself and your abilities. We approach climbing as more than just a past time; it is our passion.
Our mission is to develop a dynamic community of climbers who are informed, responsible and safe.
Our customers can expect a climbing experience that is challenging and rewarding. The staff at
Summit Climbing Gym are all enthusiastic climbers who are committed to inspiring individuals in
the pursuit of their climbing goals. As an independent business we actively contribute to the
outdoor community by sponsoring new rock climbing routes, Team Summit and other community-based
adventure projects in Malaysia.
