After the diving trip, next was mountain climbing & camping trip. It was the usual over the weekend trip with only one night camping out in the jungle.
Jelebu was about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away driving from Ampang, via Bukit Hantu/Genting Peres road, that I once cycled up both of these big climbs! Just don't ask me to do that in current form hehehe
Again, I'll just tell the story with pictures ;)
Having breakfast at the nearby gerai before starting the climb. Check out the roof! Cool
Kids on a quad bike. Cool huh?
Off road vehicles are popular here. This is in front of the Kenaboi team house
Preparing our stuff for the climb
4WD ride to the start of the climbing trail. Fun!
Me & our guide, Abg Sham. Enjoying the ride
Signboard to the mountain. Check out the road number. It was not really a road really!
Part of the road had caved-in. But our skillful driver managed to steer the vehicle past this
Resting on the 4WD before starting the climb
The climb to our campsite. This is a 4WD trail actually. Met a few stuck 4WD vehicles on the trail
Our bags under the makeshift tent. It then rained so we decided to camp at this spot

We all enjoying dinner under the starlight. Very nice!
Starting the climb on the next morning. It was drizzling, which explains the bag cover
At Kem Orkid. Supposed to camp here if not because our climb was stopped due to the rain the day before
Check out the size of the tree trunk
It was very slippery!
At the summit! It was so cloudy can't see anything beyond the summit
Anis & her 13 year old nephew, Amirul
Happy to reach the summit

It was a really hard climb. I was unable to walk properly for the next two days. I would rate this harder than Nuang & Irau. Maybe because of the slippery trail or maybe because I am now 13kg overweight! Damn
