This will be the 7th
consecutive year, the management of Gua Damai Extreme Park opened their small and famous cliff for BASE jumping.
This is a popular cliff that many participants would like to jump off, before
the main event at KL Tower.
Gua Damai is located in Batu Caves, Selangor. For
those keen on compass reading, it is "N 03 14.902" E 101 41.225".
‘Gua’ means cave. ‘Damai’ means serene, peaceful. Gua Damai is about a 20
minute drive north of KL Tower.
Invitation
The organizers would like to invite
all BASE jumpers to come to “Gua Damai
BASE Fiesta” on 23rd
and 24th September 2014. Gua Damai is the first and only place in
Malaysia where all BASE Jumpers can jump from the height of 316 feet (96M) from
its cliff and land in the football field.
As the name suggests, there are
several caves in Gua Damai, but there is this particular route in the cave that
will take you up to the cliff. The steps
in the cave is well lit and you will be secured with a life line via ferratta.
Trekking up will take you 20 minutes
to reach to the top. There you will see a specially design steel ramp,
constructed platform for BASE jumpers, equipped with safety line. From this point, you can choose hand held or
PCA. The platform commands a view over a village with its multi-color rooftops,
some high rise dwellings and other hills. Breathtaking!
The landing area is a small soccer field. You
need to fly about 50 meters to make it there.
We believe you will enjoy these 2
days of jumps at Gua Damai. We look forward to have you here.
