6) Bukit Dalas, Meragang, Muara - Another potential little crag for Brunei. Access is via 15 min trek through jungle. Whole area is covered in relatively thick vegetation and therefore needs a huge clean up effort before any climbing is possible.  If this place is developed properly it will give locals a good location with easy access for natural rock climbing.
