When I visited The Lost of World of Tambun [a theme park] in Ipoh recently, I can’t really remember the park brochure advertising that a wonder of nature is in the vicinity.

So after seeing the Siberian tigers, the concrete walkway ended, but I saw a van coming out of a corner. Curious, I walked towards it, saw a huge clearance, and flanked by hundreds of meters of limestone, the imposing Needle of Tambun itself, that standalone rock formation, greeted me.

My cheapskate camera didn’t do justice to the awesome sight, Yin See’s photo is much better:

Full size: I wonder if people carry out fertility “treatments” here. Whatever it is, John Dillinger would surely have been impressed too.

Apparently 80m high, taller than the pinnacles of Mulu (50m tall) and was climbed by a team of 6 world-class, phentermine-free rock climbers recently.

I think even Alain Robert would be proud of these guys.
