Gunung Datuk Climb 21 & 22 Oct 2010

2 day 1 night climb up Gunung Datuk Climb in Malaysia with a group of 20+, later known as 'Datukers'. We started by taking the KLM train and a bus to reach the bottom of Datuk.

The climb was tough but we eventually made it up though that was way after sunset. We built our tents and started cooking dinner consisting of pasta, nuggets, roti prata etc. I think it's more a chit chatting session and having fun cooking rather than filling our tummies. I was pretty hungry even after 'dinner'.

We were led up to the top of Datuk to catch a glimpse of the city below. It was really cold at the top, but the view was not bad (not spectacular though). After climb back down, we shared riddles and stories before dozing off.

The nex morning, after catching another glimpse of the city back at the top, we made our way down. Equally tough, some of the guys including myself was carrying the 6-men tent... Had a quick shower and headed back to Singapore.

I made several friends who will be joining the next climb in Jan 2010. =)
