Jack Oh, co-owner of KAILAS Malaysia, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “I’m thrilled and excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Project Rock. KAILAS offers a wide selection of climbing gear tailored for rock climbing enthusiasts. I am eager to work together to expand into the realm of rock climbing in Malaysia and elevate the sports to even greater heights.”

Project Rock, on the other hand, has been making waves in Malaysia’s climbing community since 2017, with two bustling outlets in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia serving as hubs of activity and camaraderie for climbers of all levels. More than just a climbing gym, Project Rock is a beacon of inspiration, fostering a culture of passion, perseverance, and pure adrenaline-fueled excitement.

Goh Kae Vin, co-founder of Project Rock, echoed Oh’s sentiments, saying, “At Project Rock, we’ve always believed in the power of community and collaboration to drive progress. With KAILAS Malaysia by our side, we’re confident that we can inspire the next generation of climbers and propel the sport to even greater heights.”

Together, KAILAS Malaysia and Project Rock are poised to unleash a new era of climbing excellence. By combining KAILAS’s state-of-the-art gear with Project Rock’s unrivaled expertise and facilities, climbers across Malaysia can expect nothing short of a revolution in their pursuit of vertical conquests.

But what truly sets this partnership apart is the addition of Dzukram Alzam Mohd Zamri as the rock climbing ambassador of KAILAS Malaysia. A national climbing icon with a remarkable list of achievements to his name, including achieving Gold at the Keriang Rock Climbing Challenge 2023 and the Northwall 2.0 2023, Dzukram has been at the forefront of Malaysia’s climbing scene for over a decade. From representing the nation on the international stage to conquering some of the most challenging routes in the world, Dzukram’s dedication and talent have earned him a well-deserved reputation as one of Malaysia’s finest climbers.

“I’ve dedicated my life to the pursuit of climbing excellence, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share my passion with climbers across Malaysia,” Dzukram said. “Together with KAILAS Malaysia and Project Rock, I have no doubt that we can achieve great things.”

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. KAILAS Malaysia is also proud to announce their support for the upcoming Vertex 2024 Bouldering Competition, organized by Project Rock on 8 – 9 June 2024.
