Simple Elegance!

The benchmark for us before we conquer Mount Kinabalu. 2 more weeks to go. I told the team that we need to reach at-least at Puncak Pengasih or paling busuk pun Kem Pacat. Or else, we can forget to climb Mt. Kinabalu/ This is my 2nd time to climb Nuang, the first time not even reach Puncak Pengasih and i dont want to do the same mistake again. Not anymore! So i decided to bring only my compact camera hehehe ( last time i bring both my dslr & all my lense )

OK, Below are the short report & photos from my compact.

Saturday 20Feb

9:00pm : Meet @Petronas Bkt Jalil.
Confirmed : Me, Yukhairi aka Singa , Pian, Razak, Yazid, Nizam, Don, Katie & Aifah.
Absent with apologies: Awie, Din

10:00pm : Depart to Nuang Base-camp Ranger. Stop at nearest restaurant to buy some food n water. Nasi goreng + burger.

11:00pm : Arrived at Nuang Ranger. Do final packing… Singa seems to have more weight. hehehe You’re the only person bring dslr,extra equipment and food

11:45pm : Start trekking to Lolo camp. It’s a boring track & never ending road. Org kata ‘jalan penyesalan’. As expected, Singa start struggling with his heavy bag. Keep stop for every 10 minutes walk.. hehehe Now you know! The first part of the journey was really testing our mental. Up and down walk from 200m absl to 500 m absl. At times, we reach 445m, but later we had to descend to 300m…..then up again, then down again….really-really mental!

02:15am : Arrived Lolo camp after 2hr 30mins of mental torture… Setup tent & have a late dinner. Thank to Katie & Arifah for d nescafe. sedap!

03:00am : Sleep. ZZzzzzz… Some of us decided to sleep in tent. For me, Don, Nizam & Yazid just enough in sleeping bad. hope it’s not raining. I heard Pian kena kacau… someone keep scratching his hand.. hmmmm Tidor dalam tent pun kena kacau…

Sunday 21Feb

07:00am : Wakeup. Prepare for the breakfast. Sandwich & Kopi O kaw. Ada org tak mandi. Hehehe .

08:30am : The journey started. We keep our tent at Lolo . Just bring the compulsory items the the peak ( headlamp, water, chocolate & camera )
Muka masing2 masih suci & bersih… almaklum la.. Azab belum start lg

At the waterfall, Lolo

10:30am : Me & Arifah reached Kem Pacat. Setup d poncho for the rests.

11:15am : Everyone @ Kem Pacat. Razak & Don decided not to continue to conquer the summit. Mr Don have a valid reason… You razak? Hahahaha jangan mare!

At Kem Pacat

11:45am :Continue 2nd part. Still a long way to go. Track much more difficult compare from Lolo to Pacat.

One of the tough part to the peak

Virgin jungle reserve

01:45pm : Hohohohoho.. Yehaaaa. Me, yazid, Yukhairi, Katie & Arifah reached the top of Mt Nuang. Highest mountain in Selangor. Pian & Nizam join us 20mins later. Congratulation to all. We spent about 45mins up there. Nothing much scenery to photograph except the old hut. Dah berkarat pun

This is to proof that I’ve reached the summit of Mount Nuang

02:30pm : Descent to Kem Pacat. Slightly fast. 1hr 30mins. Sleep while waiting for Pian & Nizam. Tired already. Razak & Don keep smiling on us.. Korang tak naik atas, tak tau la azab dia camna

04:45pm : Descent down to Lolo. Me & Yazid run all d way. Took us 30mins only to Lolo then straightly jump to the waterfall.

05:45pm : All reached Lolo.

06:30pm : Pack all stuffs. Last coffee & maggi cup there.

08:00pm : Last journey to Nuang ranger. Another ending road. Bye Lolo

10:00pm : Arrived Ranger. Time to go back home.

11:00pm : BYE. I wont come here again…

My conclusions about NUANG:
- The Landscape is not Worth the Pain
- It’s not a place for photography
- Good to test your mental & fitness
