Dragon's Horns — North Tower
North Tower Via Ferrata
For non-climbers
No pitch-by-pitch record survives for this route. If you have climbed it, the logbook wants your topo.
Approach
From Kampung Mukut, follow the Nenek Semukut trail out of the village towards the towers; the via ferrata begins where the cable is anchored on the North Tower. Guided groups are led in from Mukut – arrange through the village.
What it is
A fixed-protection route — steel cable, rungs and ladders bolted to the rock — that lets visitors who don’t rock climb reach a viewpoint on the North Tower for the sight out over Mukut, the reef and the South Tower. You clip a via-ferrata lanyard to the cable and move on your feet; no rope skills needed, but it is still exposed and physical, and a head for heights helps.
Gear
Via-ferrata lanyard kit, harness, helmet. Go with a local guide.
Details wanted. Length, grade, guiding arrangements and current condition of the cable are not yet documented here — if you know them, please contribute.
