Rock & Climb: A guide to the best crags and bigwall of Indonesia

THIS BOOK, “NATURAL ROCK CLIMBING IN INDONESIA,” is the first attempt to map and celebrate the wealth of natural cliffs found throughout the archipelago. More than just a guide for climbers, this book also invites us to view these cliffs as an ecological heritage that must be protected. Each cliff is not only a challenging arena for sportsmanship but also a part of a fragile natural landscape rich with life. Natural rock climbing is a meeting between human courage and the Earth’s grandeur: A body trained in perseverance and nature offering quiet paths to the summit. From this, the spirit of sportsmanship and ecological responsibility merge, shaping a climber’s ethos that not only competes with themselves but also cares for the Earth they stand on.
