GUNUNG
Born from our soil, built for ascent.
Bridging Malaysian climbers with world-class gear through partnerships, community, and shared passion.
Official partnerships, local access
Gunung connects Malaysian climbers with world-class climbing gear through official partnerships, distribution, and education.
Official partnerships
We work directly with leading international climbing brands — not grey market imports. Every product is authentic, backed by warranty, and competitively priced.
Distribution network
We supply climbing gyms and retailers across Malaysia with the gear they need — making quality equipment available where climbers actually train.
Education & support
From gear selection to maintenance, we help climbers make informed choices. Local knowledge, local support, backed by international expertise.
More than a reseller
We're building the foundation for Malaysia's climbing ecosystem by connecting brands, gyms, and the community. Fair pricing, easy access, and the support Malaysian climbers deserve.
Local roots, global vision
Gunung is building a community platform that connects Malaysian climbers with world-class gear. Through strategic partnerships with established international brands, we're improving access to quality climbing equipment at prices that work for our community.
We believe Malaysia's climbing scene deserves the same access to great gear as anywhere else in the world. By working with trusted brands and building relationships with retailers, we're creating a network that serves climbers from KL to Penang, from indoor gyms to outdoor crags. Our roots in Malaysia's industrial heritage — from rubber production to precision manufacturing — inspire us to think big about what's possible for our community.

Growing demand, limited access
Indoor climbing is exploding in Malaysia, but climbers face significant barriers to accessing quality gear.
Price Markup
Import duties and limited distribution make quality shoes prohibitively expensive
Selection
Only a handful of brands and models are readily available in Malaysia
Retailers
Sparse retail presence means no opportunity to try before buying

The perfect moment for connection
Malaysia's climbing community is at an inflection point — big enough to matter, small enough to build something real together.
A scene coming into its own
From KL to Penang to JB, climbing gyms are multiplying fast. What started as a niche sport is becoming a real community — with real needs that aren't being met. That's where we come in.
+247% growth since 2019The Southeast Asian gateway
We're uniquely positioned to be a bridge between global climbing brands and Southeast Asia's emerging markets. Malaysia first, then the region. Partnerships built on trust and local knowledge.
Regional connectorBuilt on passion, not hype
Malaysian climbers are loyal, engaged, and hungry for gear they can trust. We're tapping into that energy — connecting brands with real customers who care about quality, not just chasing trends.
Community-drivenMalaysia's climbing scene deserves better access
The gear exists. The brands exist. But the connection between them and Malaysian climbers? That's what we're building. Partnerships that work for everyone, prices that make sense, and a community that finally gets the attention it deserves.
Growing Malaysia's climbing community — one partnership at a time.
Whether you're a brand, retailer, gym owner, fellow climber, or someone who believes in what we're building — we'd love to connect. Together, we can make Malaysian climbing something truly special.
