Broga Hill is not tough to tackle. Gasing Hill in PJ is slightly more difficult compared with Broga Hill. (Note: it is just a hill, not a mountain/gunung which is more difficult eg. Gunung Datuk, Gunung Nuang etc.)
Just consider like taking a walk up a slow inclining trail. Have Fun guys as I will be outstation this weekend.

(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm184/Alvin-8880/P1020409VGA.jpg)
My Riseman showed 360M only, calibration is needed I think. But anyone know how to do it?
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm184/Alvin-8880/P1020421VGA.jpg)
Time to descend...
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm184/Alvin-8880/P1020423VGA.jpg)

Good report and great pics.
Looks like you guys had a wonderful time.
Just wondering if the speedy pro belongs in the category of tough watch.
Glad that it survived the trip.
:Cheers:

Yea, go on, rub it in.......I nearly pengsan (not on the top, 3 quarter up only..... ;D)
-
Thx Chris & Danny.
The Speedy Pro is tough, provided u own the one with sapphire glass. ;D.
I accidentally scratched my watch on the granite boulder when trying to concur the last stage, where ropes were needed to help climbing (look at my 3rd peak photo). Thank God, it still unhurt.
Engkidu, no worry, there is always another chance to climb & prove yourself. ;D
Just curios, thought u supposed to wear the Seiko chrono for this climb, what happened?
I'm keen to get one of this Seiko Chrono, mind pm me where & what price u paid for it?

I thought a watchmaker remind u not to wear 2 watches side by side like this...
Reason... The harder material will scratch the softer one...
Anyway, I'm fully aware u just wear this for photo shooting...

nice workout to prepare for next Sunday full marathon.
See, I was right. Broga is a "bukit" 10X lower than the highest peak in SEA.
Engkidu, see how relaxed I was after a 400M climb? haha... :mooning:
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm184/Alvin-8880/P1020398VGA.jpg)
Yea, go on, rub it in.......I nearly pengsan (not on the top, 3 quarter up only..... ;D)
Bro. Enkidu,
Do not force yourself too hard in climbing Broga Hill. Take a relax approach like going to the park for a stroll. I am sure you will enjoy it more and not feeling like going to "pengsan".
Alvin-880 - nice pic. of a relax climber. :Dancing_banana:
-
Good report and great pictures there, Guys.
Miss this trip, else can join you people conquer Broga Hill again. The "Sek Dato" temple seems to me has a lot of new attractions since the last time I was there 5 years ago.
Happy for our Bro. there with the speedy pro which can be said to belong in the category of tough watch. Glad that it survived the scratch on the granite.
Next trip - where? Mt Kinabalu? :Confused:

Hahaha...thanks for the encouragement, but the reality is that I am terribly unfit. This GTG serves me a good reminder that I need to seriously and urgently improve my fitness level... ;D
-
Watchnewby, there is always another time. Make sure u join the next one. ;D
-
Alvin, look at the photo of me posted by jacky at the bridge. Surely now you will realised why I had the sling pouch w me all the time.
Honestly, nothin can matched the gshock when it comes to rough use.
You guys are great, looking forward to the next excursion.
Thanks, sm
