Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

When I go on vacation, I like to travel and go climbing. It was surprisingly hard for me to find a
list of good climbing destinations outside the US, so I put one together here. This list covers what I think are the best overall climbing destinations that are accessible to beginner to intermediate climbers and make for an overall great vacation with good non-climbing options nearby. I’ve also listed the best times to go to each place based on local weather because you don’t want to be rained out or cooking in the heat if you only have a few weeks away each year. If you know of any other top climbing vacations, then comment!
