Gunung Datok : Climb Ladder, Reach Top

I am posting up photos of hikes based on the alphabetical arrangement in my hard drive. So, do not be surprised reading hikes in 2012 and then to 2011 or even way earlier. 

I did this hike on 01012011. It was supposed to be a tradition thing, well, I made it sound like a tradition, but my friends did not want to hike the same mountain every New Year. Haha! This, I present to you, my hike on Gunung Datok located in Seremban. I have hiked this mountain 3 times. My first time was in 2009, to prepare myself for my climb to the Pinnacles Summit Trek


We reached the top after about 1.5 hours. But the real top is actually on rocks. And we have to use ladders.


Before going to the top, it was time for re-charge. 



Despite doing this for 3 times, I am still afraid. I admit, I am not a fan of heights. Even going down escalators scare me. *sigh* I am worst than a 6 year old. Sometimes, stairs scare me too. I remembered once I sat on the stairs to "walk" down. I am bad. Really bad. And I hike and trek? 


Since only one person can go up at a time, we waited at the first rock to snap photos. And look at people climbing up the ladder to reach the top. Just tell yourself not to look at your left or right when you use the ladder.






The view from the top was worth the climb. I love the group photos!





Time to go down the ladders. My legs were trembling. 


 It was a relief to be back on the ground. Rocks is not my cup of tea.
