MT. DATUK (843 m) DAY TRIP - 6 AUGUST 2006

This trip was unplanned. Supposed to go Nuang but did not materialise. Last minute attempted Datuk. This was my third time. First time in November 2005 but no photo captured. Climbing up and down the rocks at the summit campsite was quite scary as I had height phobia.

Second time was one week before Penang Bridge Run but dare not go up the rocks due to height phobia.

This time went with running friends. At first dare not climb the rock. Friends decided to go ahead without me. Waited for them for almost 1 hr did not know why took the so long to come down. Decided to overcome my height phobia by climbing up the rocks slowly and at last manged to see them enjoying the nice view. This time did not miss the chance for group photos on the rocks at the summit. Then, slowly hike down from the rocks before descending to starting point.
