Finally got the time to update this thread.
Made the trip 2 weeks ago.
In the end, there is still 1 space left empty because of FFK... wtd? Have to divide the cost among the group.
Wore my Damasko DC67 with a bond nato for the trip.
Some pics...
Starting point at Mesilau Trail... 8.2km hike to the resting point at Laban Rata...
The height? Thanks to my buddy who wore a Tissot...
After 1 hour 45 minute hike... mood still all pumped up... clear cool weather... gods must be smiling on us...
Spoke too soon... thunderstorm came... yes... the whole package with thunder and lightning... guide asked us to take cover as the lightning is getting quite dangerous...
Rain has not stopped... fingers getting numb by the cold...
Can even see the mountain trail becoming waterfalls... that's how heavy the rain is... this is my 4th time scaling this baby and this is the 1st time I have met with such horrible weather... well... I feel pity for those 1st timers in my group.
Nice scenery the next morning when the weather is cleared...
I did not make the 2nd hike up to the summit as my equipment and shoes are all wet... down to my underwear!!!
Thats all...
All in all... it was a memorable trip with plenty of stories...
Planning another one next year... will make the necessary arrangements end of this year...
Thanks for looking.
