Hindhede Quarry

This place is located just beside the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Used to be able to access it from the carpark from the bottom of Bukit Timah hill, a nong nong time ago.... Some monkeys decided to play some stunts and got killed in the waters and several incidents later, this place is closed to public and the entrance was fenced up.

A very nice place to spend a quiet weekend climbing in the afternoon away from the crowds, which very few such places exist here in tiny red dot. There are quite a number of nice climbing routes here with difficulty level suitable for beginners to the more hardcore climbers. These routes were all bolted mostly by the pioneer batch of climbers in Singapore in the late 80's. Wondering how does the place looks like now.

View of the quarry. The water are trapped in this disused quarry during rainy days and it is deep...

View from another angle, looking at the Singtel comm tower.





Norman, my climbing kaki.

Tom, from Hong Kong. Funny guy, lost contact with him.

Jacqueline on "Drowning Man".

Those were the days, those were the days. Did not get together very much with all my climbing kakis nowadays. Most of them are already married like me and some with childrens, and work commitements. Long-ed for a climb on a lazy weekend afternoon....
