This time we made it in 5 hours. Sixteen (16) of us. One person finished with torn pants, one with teared shoe sole, one with a bad throw-out, and a few with a few tumbling here and there. This climb we made a day before Hari Raya Aidil Adha. Still we met many climbers Malay and Chinese and a dog. This time round the weather was much cooler with a little drizzle as we started off at 8am. Personally, this time round the climb is much easier and the track maneuverable. Still the rope descend is troublesome - gotta get a grip on this one.Below pics show Aween on the rope descending down. Ayah Su ready to grab her just in case. Next, me and Azran giving instruction and moral support. While Azhar, posing for early victory to photograper Aizat at the other side of the cliff. Below not shown is Ikram guiding her footsteps. (Behind Azhar are some other climbers who have caught up with us managing the rope.)
