Rocky Basecamp AEON Mall Tebrau City is a Rock climbing gym located in Floor 1 · AEON Mall Tebrau City. Contact: +60 17-228 5068 Website: https://ninjafound.com/listing/rocky-basecamp-aeon-mall-tebrau-city-johor-bahru/
The “kids” routes upstairs have different difficulty levels as well and some can even be harder than the 5Cs downstairs. The walls are cute and look nice in photos.
There’s a relatively high auto-belay wall on the first floor, a small bouldering area and a speed wall. As a frequent climber, I didn’t enjoy the routes but that’s just a personal preference.
More suitable for high wall climbers who just wanna have a quick climb or for climbers who are bringing friends new to the sport.
There’s beanbags for lounging as well when resting in between climbs. Toilet wasn’t working when I was there, hopefully it’s been fixed now.

Very underrated place tucked away in a corner of AEON Mall (which makes it a little hard to find if it’s ur first time going there). Loved (and was also pretty intimidated by) the super high walls with lots of different routes. Speed wall was cool and challenging too! My favourite part of the gym was the beautifully painted high walls on the second floor with various landscapes like the solar system, a bookshelf and a helicopter with an actual rope ladder u could climb (which ended up being more challenging than the regular lanes😅).
Bouldering wall could have a few more easier sections though, since most of the routes are on walls sloping towards you (which require more upper body strength to climb compared to those sloping away from u). Also, it got kinda noisy at times because the staff started drilling to secure the holds on the high walls. But those r only minor issues - my partner and I had a lot of fun overall. Lockers and complementary equipment were a huge bonus too!

Rocky Basecamp at AEON Mall Tebrau is a hidden gem for climbers and adventure seekers in Johor Bahru. Whether you’re a beginner looking to try something new or an experienced climber chasing a pump, this indoor climbing gym has a little something for everyone.
What’s Great:
Variety of Routes: The walls are well designed with a good mix of bouldering and top rope climbing. Routes are color-coded and graded, with regular resets to keep things fresh. Mostly autobelay.
Beginner-Friendly: The staff are super friendly and helpful. If you’re new, they’ll walk you through the basics and make sure you’re climbing safely.
Location: Conveniently located in a shopping mall, so you can grab a bite or do some shopping before or after your session.
Family Vibes: Great spot for families and kids too.
Could Be Better:
Limited Space During Peak Hours: It can get a bit crowded on weekends or public holidays. If you want a quieter session, try visiting on a weekday.
Gear Rentals: Gear is free, but for regular climbers, you’ll probably want to bring your own for better fit and comfort.
Overall, Rocky Basecamp is a fun and accessible climbing spot with good facilities, chill vibes, and a solid community. Great for weekend outings, team building, or just blowing off some steam after a day of shopping. Highly recommend!

Fun activity idea: rock climbing to do inside Aeon Tebrau City Mall. The entrance is a bit hidden but situated just beside JD Sports. Price is affordable (RM 33/adult) for 2 hours. The activities are suitable for kids and adults. Well ventilated area and have few types of fun climbing walls to try out. Staff is friendly and they will guide you before you tried out climbing by yourself. Shoutout to Amir, staff of Rocky Basecamp that guide us during our session here.

My kids first time trying out rock climbing. Staffs were friendly and coach were helpful.
Just walk-in and bring along a pair of socks. Shoes and harness are provided. Can also buy socks here for RM4+ each.
To accompany without climbing also RM4+ each.

This place is located just next to JDSPORTS. an interesting place to bring your kids for a bit extreme activity. My kids loved it. It has many levels of wall climbing here, the highest one was 15m high. Please check their schedule before you come because there will be time slots. Each one is around 2 hours (if not mistaken). The staffs were very friendly with my kids and treat them well. And dont forget to wear socks! #recommended

Brought my brad, sis n dad here last 2 weeks. Great climbing experience, fun moments treasured, helpful assistant all the time. Worth paying RM35 each person and RM5 (guardian price) for my dad. Ohh and just RM35 for maximum 2 hours games. Kids, adults and superpower veterans can have fun and improve their inner strength here. Believe me it's more than enough time for everyone to play inside.

Best place for group activity. It is family friendly place where parents bring their children here (and it's not even noisy!). Feels good to see how parents and staffs encourage little kids to do challenging activity like this. The staffs are really helpful and nice.
