MT. YONG BELAR (2,181 M) 18 TO 19 MAY 2008 PHOTOS (DAY 2)




Descended from the summit via the same route.

We got lost for an hour+ while were were trying to explore the new way out via the abandoned house. Thank god, we managed to find the way out via a new route. It was a blessing in disguise that the new route discovered by 11 of us can help to save the journey from the starting point to the entrance of the mossy forest by one hour.

Turn left at the river and back trek to original place. Turn left again to find the way out but something not right then back trek to original place. Finally we decided to follow Wen Bing's direction. Just follow the pipes direction and the flow of the river.

As I hiked further along the pipes, I had a feeling that the pipes will lead us back to the border stone junction. Finally, it was true. The pipes led us to the border stone junction. That was whereby we saw the pipes from the vegetable farm at the beginning of the hike.

Total hiking hours = 6 hrs 43 min (including resting time and time getting lost in the jungle)

Wanted to go this mountain for quite some time. It was a last minute decision. Thanks to Wen Bing for the info.

Reason for me to go was to overcome the fear that haunts me since 25 October 2006.

Fear ? Fear of not reaching Ke Kasut and summit. Fear of not able to find the way out due to darkness.

First day hike took 8 hrs 52 min (including resting time) to the summit. We used Lojing Highlands.
