#10 Mt. Liang East & West

Sebenarnya post #10 is for post Korbu & Gayong, which already there dalam draft but....... its been awhile and I dh lupa log. Meh, this year malaih gila nak menulis. Idk why. Dia punya sembang nak tulis log tu, nak share, bulan 8 baru nak update, last post was Hello 2k17 hahaha fml. Kay stop bebel, aku bersyukur sebab tetiba datang rajin aku, tulis log for this trip. I know I shud do it, sebab nanti lupa, like trips before this. Sayang bila lupa.

So trip Liang ni trip aci redah, thanks to Neeja sayam sebab ajak. 5 months woi tinggal trip, last one was YYBTN reverse compress, ha tu pun tak tulis log. Haih, nak repeat memang wassalam, taubat lah nak. Short story abt that trip, kitorg decided to attempt 2 days but kenot, sebab memasing tidur tak ingat dunia, tak jaga masa, and bag tak mcm nak buat trip compress (I learnt A LOT abt this) so mmg impossible fr 2 days. Hence, we managed to finish it within 3 days. I still remember how shivering I am dekat simpang Y tu, tunggu geng sweeper since 8 pm to 1 am before we finally decided to jalan je smpai Pos Rengil. It was a good decision sebab kitorang dah basah kuyup and chances to get hypothermia is high. So macam, memang azab sebab hujan most of the time. Another fav moment is dekat peak Bubu, tu pun sama, menggeletor sampai ke tulang, ramai ramai duduk bawah emergency blanket kut, pastu bakor lilin askar tu. It was a good memory tho. Sadly, tak tulis log.

So this is our Mt. Liang East & West short log:

Kay, so cerita about lost track tu, kabornya depa before this naik, pagor dam buka. Masa kitorang pi, sadly, its closed. Maybe sebab malam kut? Or mmg sekarang pagor tu dh tutup bcs of safety reasons, wallahualam. So, kitorang terpaksa lah lalu trek lama, which is dah lama sangat org tak lalu, and it was slippery af. Teruk sangat. Bayangkanlah, load berat, baru angkat sauh, sekali pacak terus 60 - 70 degree, dengan slippery sebab baru hujan, tercungap sis. Masa tu dalam otak dh fikir, kalau trek mcm ni sampai habis, idk if I could survive it. Mmg masa tu duk fikir dlm palotak, patut lah org kata liang hardcore. So lepas canak tu tetiba ada satu simpang, and kitorang stucked dkt situ lama, masa tu Neeja dh siap fikir nak cancel off trip, patah balik and p Penang ja. Makan. Hahaha lol

Then riki punya riki, tebas sana sini, guide kata, kita patah balik. Try masuk ikut tepi pagor tu, then pataaaaaah lah balik, 4.30 am baru jumpa siratul mustaqim. Masa tu energy dh banyak habis sebab tahan diri from jatuh and all, tahan beg berat lg. Meh. I won't forget that night, hati dh mcm 50/50. Dah lah first trip solo, aku kenai Neeja dengan kak as je. Mati la nak.

So sebenarnya, if you wish to climb Mt. Liang, naik from tepi pagor empangan tu. Jangan mengada ikut trek kitorg haha nescaya akan menyesai seumur hidupmu. Trek start betul betul tepi pagor belah kiri, ha kau p je bebetul depan pagor tu, and pandang kiri. Tu lah starting dia. Panjat lah.

Personally, I really need to agree that trek Liang kejam. And its unique sebab kejam dia nak ke kemsait, peak is waaaaaaaay more easy. Trust me. Tapi sekejam dia, dia best. Maybe sebab lineup too? And makan sedap? Haha. I won't mind to repeat it again, lai lajak tumang batak. Or buat trans slim teruih, tapau GCTBL. Meninggei. Dengor cerita geng Pok Joy dah settle buat depek, allahu sis. Betul geng takde jantung. Salute. Tapi sebab sis memang jenis favor trip bermalam, where santai sepak daun, sis takkisah buat 5 hari pat malam haha.

Ha pasal kemsait, org selalu tidur kem 7e, dekat sikit nak ke peak, selalunya 2 jam dh smpai, pace kita ah, pace runner ke takde jantung excluded kay. And abt waterpoint, kem lubuk Antu is the best, boleh tiruk, dekat kem 7e, waterpoint dia kena turun sikit around 3- 5 mins, and its just mcm mata air, tapi laju, sbb dorang dh salurkn pipe, and dh ada org baik hati bawak tong hitam, so no worries, tp jenuh gak lah, layan pacak lagi, but best mandi situ. P lah. Best. Liang is best. And pacat dia, officially aku kira ada 15 kesan kena gigit. Gg.

Kay tu jelah kut cerita for this trip. It's my 2nd solo aci redah trip after Trans Jerging and I'm doing good. Quite impressed with myself sebab duduk w guide this time, lead line up, being the 1st group to reach kemsait, 2nd person to reach peak, laju gak ah haha selalu sis melembap je dekat belakang. Maklumlah, fav sweeper dah bersara :')

By that, my 26th & 27th summits, Mt. Liang West & East checked!
