Meet the latest entrant in the Camp5 family of climbing gyms, Camp5 KL East, a vibrant new space to redefine indoor climbing in Kuala Lumpur. Located at KL East Mall, it brings the thrill of rock climbing right to the residents of Ampang, Wangsa Maju, and Gombak, areas already known for their robust climbing culture.
An All-inclusive Climbing Experience
Walk into Camp5 KL East, and you'll discover a world where climbing transcends age and skill levels. Here, climbing is more than a full-body, low-impact workout; it's an engaging, mind-body exploration that builds confidence and problem-solving skills. It's also a social activity where climbers can hang out, build "belaytionships", and enjoy a day with friends and family.
