Round 1
date: 19th March 2006
day: sunday
time: 7.30 am (meeting there)
Warning: it is tough, not suitable for beginners, but if u are fit, u can always give it a try. and the ridge is high, if u are afraid of height.. beware.. CLIMB AT YOUR OWN RISK

things to bring:

water (1 bottle of 1.5litre is enough.. more would be better)
sling back (small backpack, make sure your hands are free)
one set of clothings, you sweat, you smell. there is a river down the dam you can actually swim there
some food for picnic. bread, biscutes... whatever.


how to get there?
drive MRR2 all the way until you reach Zoo Negara (from KL City) . Zoo will be on your right. keep to the left and go towards the traffic light under the bridge. make a right turn and go straight. You will pass by 2 schools on your right. One of them is SMK Tmn Melawati (not sure the name). go straight until u reach a roundabout, make a 9 o clock turn. go straight to the 2nd roundabout and make a 12 oclock turn (u are at 6 oclock) go straight up the hill and turn right. turn right again at the next junction (by now the road is really narrow) go straight in and u will reach the Klang Gates Damn. there is the starting point.

how high is it?
not sure. but it is a ridge.. i hike from peak to peak

how long does it take for a beginner?
about 4 hours. fit person 3 hours to complete the whole journey up and down

1-10, how tough is it?
i would say it is at 7.. begining was ok.. rocky part is hard... and it is dangerous coz the ropes provided there are run-downed.. and some parts dun have ropes. you can get to see the valley down there.

how much to spent?
depends on where u come from. I am from Klang.. estimate for RM 20 per trip for toll and petrol.

Hi, I'm new at this forum and is rather new in KL area too. I'm a great outdoor fan and would like to join your activities.

ermm sound interesting..but got no transportation from shah alam....ermmm

juichuan...
This tuesday count me in if you're going this tuesday

very fast postin it
Maybe we can try the next two hills when we go again there next time.

When is the next climb? i am keen too.

Thanks to JC and mom for organizing the trip. It was a wonderful trip.

rukawa and I were wondering what jc was trying to do


picture too big hornetEJ

ehh..that's the picture that me and you think we should take for surprise sake 

You got it!!! Give me five!!! 

mmmm been there just a lot of ridge and steep ground. Start at 7.30 reach top at 8am. ho ho

Tomorrow's my climb there. Starting at 6am hopefully. Just to picture the sunrise.

Looks interesting. Count me in on next climb in the near future. Except if I am busy. If I take the way from Kepong to National Zoo, is the BP station before or after and left/right. Thanks

I got bee stung on the way down too. Is there a way to deter the bees? Are insect repellants effective against the bees?

It's been a year since my last climb. Thinking of going up again soon.

Hie~,

Actually i am quite confused. I read that someone said that it took 1/2 hour to get to the top and back. And in the first posting, said it took 3 hours-4hours. Actually got more than 1 trail there izzit? can we get lost?

Normal average fitness and that stop and enjoy view will take like average 3 hour. The trail to the top is quite easy but once you get pass the spiderman cliff(rope on the ridge) the trail toward the malay kampung could be some challege. If u want short cut just make your own way like me. 

did you beat any of the bees dead? if u did.. more will come and sting you
the whole complete journey takes 3 hours. its only one way route .. go up from here and get down from another route.
set a date and i bring you guys up la.. this weekend? sunday?

ya..hornetEJ is a bee.

Anyway, I wonder when will be the next climb to Bukit Tabur? JC, fast fast organize.

Do you guys think it's better to go down the way the same way up?

The last time I went thru the orchard, it was all muddy due the rain on the previous day. No ne ed to get stung by bees/hornets either. 

same way down would be tougher.

rukawa> organize a trip? i am still recovering from my injured back..

GWS juichuan    ,  what happened to your back?

Now we can't go until jc recovers, or we'll be like a chicken without a head, or a flock of sheep without a sheperd. 

Ok, same way down could be very tough, but I just hate going through the orchard way.

Actually is ok if you still want to go. As I still go with a group of us. The fastest we ever record was 2 hours 30 minutes for the whole climb.

2 hours 30 mins. Hmm....that's definitely possible. Would like to try it one of these days and see how fast we can go

hint: going down staircase

the only staircase i know is the one heading to the river.

there was a news that 1 person killed at bukit tabur., is that true?
