I climbed a mountain (3)

finally we are climbing the mountain... hehe...

We woke up early at 3am =_=" then prepared ourselves to mount kk journey. Only found out that our driver ffk us... major bomb =_="

we wasted no time and called another driver, luckily he's kind enough to come pick us up provided that we pay extra amount ( another =_=")

anyway, here we were safe and sound on our way to mount kk....



yay... finally we reached kk park... looking excited, can't wait to get up there hehe...


breathtaking view...


we chose to go up by Mesilau trail and back on Timpohan trail... Mesilau trail is actually longer than Timpohan by 2km,
trust me, don't under estimate this 2km....


Group pic... still looking fresh and excited hehe...
mount kk here i come!!


the first 4kms was a rather pleasant journey, we can still camwhore when spotted any nice view hehe...


0.5km!!
there's a signboard every 500m, we took photos at almost every signboard haha...


I'm amazed!!


Still looking fresh to pose hehe...


first stop... pondok bambu
prepared our water with hydration salt...


Go go go....


2km!!


next stop...





feelin the breeze...


stopping at Pondok Nepenthes


Conquered 3km!!


after crossing the bridge is where the hard part begins.... =_="


starting to feel the tiredness...





the hanging bridge...


started to rain at 4km... we were wearing T-shirts and sport pants cause Sze Mun told us the weather is warmer than Genting Highland, and obviously we under estimated the weather!! It was freaking cold ok...


harder to climb each step...


I had to steal Siang's jacket and beanie cause mine was in the bag with porter....


I still managed to smile for photo even though i was dead tired and freezing cold... not bad yay!!


the journey got harder by inch approaching to Laban Rata, where we gonna stay for a night before climbing up to the peak.

I nearly couldn't feel my legs for the last 2km climb, I couldn't even feel the tiredness anymore cause all i felt was COLDNESS!!! freezing cold i tell ya and i'm not kidding, with the strong wind thrashing on us, my fingers and toes were numb. The wind was so strong I felt like twister was coming.... the hardest 2km journey I've ever been-___-

had to stop to refill our energy by munching our chocs....
no more camwhoring poses, we were NUMB to even smile ok...


RM10 fried rice... don't ask me whether it tasted nice or not cause basically you'll munch in whatever they sell after the horribly exhausting climb...


We reached Laban Rata at almost 7pm. It was freaking 9 hrs climb!! imagine walking 9 hrs already sound exhausted, what about climbing for 9hrs with TERRIBLE weather?!!

I finally knew what willpower means... physical got us through the first 5kms, Eddy said it was mental who got us through the last 2kms... I didn't know how i walk the last 500m, my mind was totally blank that time, thought I'll be gone in any second...

I was still trembling terribly after reaching the Laban Rata guest house, my hands were shaking without my control as if they weren't mine. I scared the freak out of my gang and our guide cause i was shaking hysterically the whole night at the restaurant. The guide was so afraid I would down to hypothermia.

The guest house closed at 10pm and didn't allow us to stay, so we had to drag ourselves to our little hut where we gonna stay for a night.

Our little hut with NO heater!!


Eddy said he couldn't sleep but we heard him snored in less than 5 minutes time =_= Siang gonna blow dry his jacket and knit gloves with Sze's hairdryer, where I used it to warm my feet and hands haha...

I couldn't sleep for the whole night and my feet were numb even after wearing socks, it was my worst sleep to date!! my piece of advise, DO NOT stay at the waras hut if you happened to go to mount kk!! You will have your worst nightmare there, scaring the hut will be blown away by the twister like strong wind and I'm not kidding!
