#6 : Mt. Yong Belar Part II

Sembang nak sambung tulis log kelaut haha ni pun sebbaek gigih nak type balik eh, busy gila with fyp, and last weekend sempat pi trip GUS (gap-ulu semangkuk) which I will upload log hike dia jugak after this, sementara ingat. Ikut hati memang malas gila but taakut lupa nanti, bazir je, so better tulis balik. Sat, haritu stop smpai mana?

Oh, trek Batang Pipe.

I can't exactly remember abt the timing so kita agak agak je tau. Start hike around 12.20 pm from Tangga Dam, layan trek pipe. Kalau tanya org dh naik yb, mesti dorang kata trek ni pewai, as for me, dia start pewai bila kaki kau dh tercelup dalam selut tu. Dah lah busuk, then kaki kau dh basah and kau kena lek sampai kemsait. It's not easy doh. Mental. Time hike tu at first aku decide nak pakai kasut Gellert tu, tp last minute bila fikir pasal batang pipe tu yang buat aku pakai adidas kampung. Sebbaek takpakai Gellert eh kalau tak nangis weh barai. Tapi adidas kampung licin, carut je sepanjang batang paip tu haha sbb jatuh berapa kali. Tp layan je sebbaek lineup kelakor. They made my day. So dr nak mental, takjadi. Gelak je banyak.

Crackheads

Lepas batang paip, kita akan kena cross satu sungai, and then kita sampai kebun. Kita boleh naik powil smpai sini sebenarnya, but i dont sure pasal rate, sbb rasanya kena tambah, sbb cut batang paip, like dia terus hantar dkt Pintu Kebun la, skip Batang Paip, tapi apa guna pi yb tak layan trek Batang Paip ye idok? 

Lepas kebun, kita jalan pi Pintu Rimba, start hike dah, kali ni trek hutan dah, tak ingat sampai sana pukul berapa. Lupa terus log masa hahah k my bad. Then jalan lagi sampai pewai, layan 3 puncak tipu (if i'm not mistaken) and reached Kem Tudung Periuk at 4 pm. Tak ingat sweeper sampai pukul berapa, 5 lebih kut. Setup fly ground and khemah, pastu lepak, turun water point pi bersihkan diri. Solat jamak and all then lepak bawah fly dapur, tlg depa masak. 

Puncak tipu keberapa tah

Rest dekat Pintu Rimba

Stop dekat kebun sat, re-group

Malam tu dalam plan like nak lepak ice breaking etc tp kelaut since plan dh divert, sepatutnya tidur dekat Kem Kasut tp terpaksa tukar plan. And shoot puncak hari Ahad. So basically malam tu semorang masuk tidur awal gila. Like 9 pm kut, mmg kepenatan gila, plus hujan so semorang layan mental. Sejuk gila.

Setup fly & ground

I remembered myself terjaga at 2.30 am, ingatkan dh lewat sbb buat alarm 4.30 am sbb dorang kata nak shoot puncak by 5.30 am. So like terjaga sbb dekat luar bising, ada another group yang shoot puncak that day balik, dengor cerita dorg pi 12 hours pergi balik, idk why lama sangat, maybe sbb jalan malam kut. They arrived back dekat tudung periuk at 2 am. Sbb dorg bising so aku pun decide utk keluor khemah, pi bawah fly boys, lepak situ. Dorg pun dh terjaga since ground masuk air, fly tak cover penuh. Kesian gila. Dh like hypotermia sbb sejuk and basah, abg ijat siap pewai tahap taknak naik puncak haha. 

Sebbaek abe Muzz tlg setup campfire, like panas sikit and semorg duduk situ, siap jemur stokin, letak kaki mcm mcm haha, then dorg rebus sosej hmmm tbh tu sosej paling sedap aku pernah rasa dalam hidup. Rindu shit.

So lepak sampai almost 6 am, sbb takde tanda yang kitorg akan gerak awal. After dh settle breakfast and lunchpack, kitorang pun gerak shoot puncak, and it was 7,30 am. Lewat, i know. Mmg plan banyak kelaut haha. Shoot puncak freebody je, sebenarnya bawak stau beg which is beg Megat, letak air dlm tu and gilir gilir bawak. Most of the time mmg Megat bawak haha aku jd superb lembap bila bawak load, sbb nak deal with selut and pewai kasut asyik terbenam dlm selut and tercabut from kaki. No jok.

Kitorang sampai Kem kasut at 10 am. Stay sat sebab puncak full, tunggu dorg turun. Naz dengan Megat gigih nak pi last water point dkt Kem Kasut tu, aku dh remind k that naik nnt pacak but dorg gigih, time sampai atas muka Naz paling kelakor, like putus nyawa. Dh cakap k hahaha siapa suruh gigih. Dapat lah refill 3 botol. 

Then lepas snap gambor apa semua, kitorg sambung shoot puncak, dorang kata dr Kasut ke puncak dah tak jauh, dalam 45 mins boleh sampai but idk, maybe sbb trek barai kut. Dengan selut dia, it makes movement jd lembap so kitorang sampai puncak by 11 am. FINALLYYYYYYYYYYY 

WE MADE IT! 

Mt. Yong Belar, 3rd highest top in Peninsular Malaysia (7156ft)

Kitorang rest dekat puncak for almost an hour, sbb time cut-off pukul 12, tp kitorang turun pun dalam 12.30 pm, jumpa sweeper otw bawak jugak org last since dh nak smpai sangat, why not kan, bior lambat asal sampai. Gitu. Dekat puncak kitorg terus cari tempat nak setup stove sbb masing masing dh kelaparan, so kitorg masak maggi. Sedap shit. Biasalah, maggi paling sedap dalam dunia is atas gunung.

Aku tak ingat sangat pukul berapa sampai Kem Kasut balik, but we reached Kem Tudung Periuk balik at 3,40 pm. Laju jugak lah, turun kan. Dah tak fikir apa. Nak sempat sampai je. Sebab nak rest since nak terus shoot sampai powil. So sampai tudung periuk, terus duduk bawah fly sebab khemah dh jd pulau. Basah kuyup everything sbb hujan. Trip kali ni mental sebab hujan, and sejuk. Yb ni tempat angin lalu so bila angin lalu memang menggeletar. Even dh pakai windbreaker and glove bagai, still k.

Sampai je kemsait balik, hujan lebat turun. Can't imagine sek sek sweeper jalan dalam hujan, extra pewai tu. Kitorg tunggu dorg and dalam 6 lebih baru dorg sampai kemsait balik. Lama, sempat bantai maggi telur huhu, makan dalam hujan. Ya tuhaaaaan nikmat dia.

After sweeper smpai, kasi dorg rehat and makan bagai, kitorg pun packing and ready nak turun. Kitorg gerak at 7.20 pm, yes, ot gais. Overtime dalam hujan is mental. Memang main mental saje trip yb ni. Kitorg sampai batang paip time tu dah nak dekat 12 pm, tabahkan diri je jalan tengah malam dekat batang paip tu, you know why kan, alhamdulillah semua smooth je. Sampai dekaat powil time tu dah 2 am. Gila ot teruk.

OT dalam hujan

Sebbaek sampai powil, dapat pisang + jagung rebus + strawberry cecah chocolate, abang powil belanja since dia lambat ambik kitorg the first day tu. Heaven teruk k. Naik powil tu mata dh tak larat, tp sebab jalan dia teruk so tak tidur. Berhimpit mcm ayam, dhlah kesejukan. Tp tu yang best. Kitorang sampai balik dekat kereta time tu dah 3 lebih am. Mmg barai. Kitorg decided to terus shoot bawah, rehat dekat R&R, serious barai. Megat drive, idk how dia boleh lek je, kitorg mmg shutdown habis. 

Sampai R&R Tapah, lepak makan, first thing I do cari toilet. Rasa nak cium k toilet tu hahaha then after makan kitorg gerak, ingat nak shoot terus but semorg like barai teruk so singgah another R&R and tidur dalam kereta. I couldnt remember berapa lama sbb semorg tidur mati. Bangun pagi, baru shoot shah alam.

So that's it, tu jelah kut log trip yb kali ni. And weh, masa dekat powil time balik tu aku like pandang Megat and Nazran and said, 'we survived this weh, trip dh habis, kita dh tawan yong belar' hahaha rasa mcm speechless, tak sangka sbb aku always rasa aku tak boleh.

So yes, by that, Mt. Yong Belar (2181m, 7156 ft) checked.

  

#5 : My First G7 mountain, Mt. Yong Belar (7156ft)

Sebenarnya dh tulis some intro tau, tp rasa mcm bebel lebih, so i deleted it. Ez. Org mesti nak baca the log kan, bukan nak baca aku bebel pasal tgh buat apa takde mood ke apa. Tipikal. Faham. Bcs i feel the same too. So yes, baca tajuk dh excited kan. Rasanya ni trip paling susah nak muvon setakat ni. Like, rindu lineup, rindu pewai, rindu gigil sebab sejuk tu extra from trip trip before. Maybe sbb this one 2d1n, selalu pi daypack, sehari je so the bonding pun mcm so-so.

Maybe ada 2 part kut for this post, sbb banyak sangat nak cerita. So basically aku pernah mention pasal trip ni before. Ni ha kalau nak baca,tu basically like pre- trip punya post lah, nothing much pun. Trip ni semaciam sikit, sbb ada 2 org je girls pi, which is aku and Piqa. Lelaki total 19 orang haha can you imagine? 

2 ketul je bunga, 19 kumbang(s) haha

Besides, trip ni laik special sbb for the first time in my life, aku jd gogo, and it's for a G7 trip. The struggle is real gais, like kalau gogo event gunung biasa takpe lg. Ni sebab aku nubis, and terus jd gogo for a big event mcmni. Kecut perut gak ah. But somehow, banyak aku belajor from jd gogo ni, and it was fun! Sebab automatically lineup semua kenal kau, so yes takde lah sesi segan menyegan time first time gather dkt lrt tu sbb semorg dh kenal aku. And yes, most of them ingat Nawal lelaki. K gais.

So yes, perjalanan starts at 5.30 pm hari Jumaat 28/10/2016. Luckily it was a test week so basically takde kelas langsung. Senang kijo, senang arrange time but still rushing juga. Fera ambil dkt rumah, pickup Megat & Nazran then kitorg pun gerak pi LRT Subang, arrived KL Sentral almost 8 pm, lama. Stop sbb nak singgah DIY but turns out takde, tak wujud pun dekat sana. So yes, kitorg keluar from NU Sentral and crossed jalan, pi KK Mart. Beli personal ration, topup apa takde & bungkus beg guna rain cover. Plan nak gather pukul 10 dekat LRT Putra Gombak, since awal lagi, kitorg pun menepek pi cari tempat duduk and we found one, dekat pintu bilik mekanikal mana tah. Bersila situ. Got some issue on borang jaminan diri & permit but somehow kitorg sempat settlekan. Berlari la cari kedai boleh print and photostat dkt KL Sentral tu. Whud a lyf3.

Then kitorg pun gerak, and sampai nicely by 10 pm, we're the first one to arrive there. Banyak trip gather sana, so jd confused. Terjumpa bro aimirul Nature Hunterz dekat sana, dorg nak pi Berkelah, and got some trips lagi, tak sempat tegur. Janji melayu, after some briefing, 11.30 pm kitorang gerak from LRT Gombak & the next meeting point is dekat RTC Perak. Stop sana kejap and basically terus shoot Cameron via Simpang Pulai.

Belanja gambor lineup padu terukkkkk

Arrived at Masjid Kg Raja at approx. 5 am, then bersiap tukar baju, solat subuh, bahagi ration, and breakfast tapau before naik cameron td sbb supposedly powil ambil at 8.30 am, again, janji melayu, 11.30 am baru powil sampai, and it makes us kena divert whole plan bcs dengor cerita ada 200 org on yong belar at the same day so kemsait mmg full. Kitorg start pun dah lewat kan. After some briefing and doa, kitorg start trekking at 12.20 pm, layan Tangga 200 or sometimes ppl called it as Tangga Dam. As for me, tangga ni paling azab. But sekejap. Cane eh, dia azab teruk yang sekejap, dh ready dh mental nak layan lg, sekali depa kata tangga dh habis. Haha, after that proceed with Batang Pipe. Ni pewai lagi satu. Sakit jiwa. Layan selut. Awal awal dh jatuh that sampai lutut penuh selut. 

Eh sat ada kelaih, nanti sambung.

Bucketlist #43 : Panjat tangga Batu Caves checked!

Sebenarnya lama dh teringin nak pi training dekat Batu Caves, tp macam malas since bebila boleh pi, dekat je kan so since last weekend mcm nak take a break from hike memane yang jauh, we went for Bt Caves instead. It was just 10 mins (or less) from my house so kitorang gerak at 7.30 am which is late sebenarnya, at first ingat nak park dekat depan KTM Batu Caves tu but nab kata dalam boleh parking, so we parked inside. Macam jakun juga sebenarnya since tak pernah tahu how the inside looks like, rupanya parking besar and banyak gila dalam tu tapi kena bayor RM2 for parking.

First thought dalam kepala is 'takpe ke masuk ni dhlah pakai tudung nanti dorg fikir apa pulak' hahaha gila unmatured, but i guess everyone pun rasa mcmtu, and i bet thats how non-muslim feels bila masuk masjid. feel that, bruh. 

the facts is, they don't even care. ha-ha.

there's no weird looks on their face, in fact, ramai je org melayu dalam tu, and they all came for the same reason, training.

at first rasa mcm 'ala, biasa biasa je kut tangga dia, training sini wouldnt be harder than panjat memane' lol i was wrong. naik turun few times pun rasa nak tercabut nyawa. for god sake, it's not easy. patut pun depa training sini.

met a 53 years old malay makcik dekat atas, and we borak, turns out she's on training for Nanga Parbat base camp (Nanga Parbat is the 9th highest mountain in the world at 8,126 metres (26,660 ft) above sea level) & already went to Annapurna base camp. God, its always been my dream weh, to be able to step my bare feet on ABC, insya allah one day. That makcik told us that time dorg training for ABC, they need to complete 10 sets naik turun tangga Bt Caves tu in one hour. thats not a joke k but they did, and salute ah this type of ppl, fit gila even dah in their 50's.

and that makcik advise us to keep doing this sementara muda, well, jangan jadi mcm dorg dah in 50's baru nak pi sana sini. tapi makcik pawer k. salute. insya allah penuh tabung, stamina okay, kitorang pi. we need to dream high, and make it possible. *insert emoji bicep*

we will, 
Annapurna base camp, kausabajap.
