So back to Bukit Tabur once again. Yes…and in case you haven’t read about my other Bukit Tabur escapades, search for Bukit Tabur.

It was indeed the same kind of experience but then now it seems more and more people seems to know about this place. Well, that was when me and my group got up, we found another group of people going up and they were all like first timers except one guy. Well, of course, that time.. I was like waiting for the group to finished but seems they are taking their own sweet time or maybe cause some of them are scared of height. Well, that’s Bukit Tabur experience.Oh ya…anyway here are some rules which I would like to point out when climbing on this natural quartz mountain.

1. Do not…I repeat do not litter the place with empty bottles. They don’t decompose. (Makes me mad that I have to pick them up)

2. Please do not pluck any flowers or destroy the habitats on the hills. Especially those people who made campfire at the last hill. You guys are the dumps.

3. Try not to wear too bright a color, I found it out the hard way (bees get attracted to you).

4. Always stay in a group and don’t be a hero to go all the way on your own. If anything happens to you, no one knows. When someones lagging behind, wait for that person.

5. Things to do before going up. Pack a bottle of water (recommended 1.5 liters) and a change of clothes. Also bring some light snack. Carry a backpack and wear proper tracking shoes if you want to climb the rocky cliffs.

6. Have a guide who has been there to show the maneuver of where to step and stand during climbing sessions using the rope. (You can also employ me to be the guide HOHO)

Well that’s so far what I can sum up. Going up the hills everytime brings something new to see. Especially the previous night when it was raining. The ants and insects are more and even mushrooms growing around. I love the ants, they are kinda peculiar unlike those you see on the normal grounds. Bigger butts.. ha ha..

One thing though, my group enjoyed the most was the part when you need to use your hands to climb up the ridge. Less tiring, they said. Well indeed, the best and most untiring part is actually this part of the ridge. They hated the walking up the jungle track more than climbing. Haha.. well glad all of them enjoyed. So have this got any of you interested in climbing the hills?

Not yet, then how about some photo shooting? If you’re interested in taking photos, here’s the perfect place to take some snapshots of KLCC and also Genting Highlands (if you’re lucky that no mist or cloud was covering). We even had one photo enthusiast in our group, taking almost anything. So I then don’t waste my time and had a snapshot of him. Hahaha… I am sure he wouldn’t mind being posted cause we can’t see his face. *whistles and runs before I got pummeled*

The Super louyea shitting pose

So when will be my next trip up? Very soon. All of them can’t wait for another 2nd round.

Here I go again…

After compiling some of my photos, and with the hope of going up to Bukit Tabur again, I present to you the few photos. Well, some are macro shots which are ok.

You’ll get to see these kind of scenes up there.

The blue sky scenery. Well you can actually see Genting Highlands from up here. Just that day was a little bit cloudy and full of mist and haze around makes the some scenery photos blur.

Now how about it. The sun was rising from behind that mountain. So I can only take a cloud scenery with the hill in black. Well, there’s a trick to it if you want to take the hill instead but the sky would be not nice at all.

Capturing this was kinda time wasting. Well, first I’ve got to wait for the perfect time for this shot. With the wind blowing to and fro, it was a well worth wait but I wished I had a better camera. Maybe a DSLR. But no $$$ T_T

Some moss like mats lying on the rocky floor. I mean you can practically lie down on them and it feels like a house mat. Oh my…tis is the life. Sleeping time on the floorbed or rather a mossbed. HAHAHA

Final shot to share today. Well it was worth the try. Focusing in the middle makes the other parts blur. Well, you can’t really get all clear, if not it wouldn’t be very nice. I’ve got to squat just to take this shot. Those creepers on the tree trunks.

Anyway hope you enjoy the shots I took. At least it would entice some of you who wants to climb up Bukit Tabur. Well if you really want to climb up, do contact me here. Well, I’ll post my mail on the blog next time though. Or just drop by and give a comment. Till then. Buenos Sera. Adios.

Oh…looks like new year has just past and what a way to spend the new year. At home watching Astro on the Animax channel. Hahaha!! Well, prior to the new year on the 30th Dec 2006, I had my share of fun climbing up the hill nearby. I mean it’s a hill made out of quartz and basically it’s a challenging climb for my other friends that went up with me. Well, how can I say it’s challenging if you yourself didn’t experience it yourself. Well, it’s no ordinary climb like how where people usually going up the hill is like a jungle track where all one does is just walking up all the way.

Well enough of the talks and texts. Maybe it’s time to show what’s it all about with pics.

Yes we do go down the hill with ropes

Imagine, we’re like on the same level with KL Tower. O.o Shocked eh?? Here’s another shot on the top of the hill.

Look at the Klang Gates reservoir from the top

Yes this place is a ridge around Taman Melawati near the Klang Gates reservoir. You get to see the whole lake there. I mean “Now that’s high enough!”.

Look at the other peak

See the other mountain top there. That’s where we came from before reaching the next peak. All in all, there are 7 peaks to conquer. It was a nice 4 hour climb, well it could be faster if we weren’t busy taking photos for all of you =P

My friends were exhausted after the climb, but it was worth it. Let’s go up again.
