I am trying to find the "beirut" at the peak and I am not sure whether I am able to find it on my own. Anyone who have hike before Gunung Angsi can give some advice or guide the way up? Thanks.

There are flat lands at Lolo. Perhaps it is been quite some time you never been there.

If Gunung Irau compare to Gunung Nuang, Irau will way much easier for those who do not struggle to climb Gunung Nuang. If you expect not to rain at Gunung Irau, then you are totally wrong. When you are into hiking, be prepare to get wet and enjoy every single drop of rain. Muddy and slippery obstacles are your main concern for Gunung Irau.

Since you have climb Gunung Ledang then you should not have any issue on climbing Gunung Kinabalu. Since you are from KL I guess (based on your frequent workout place), you should head down to few mountains to train. Good place will be Gunung Nuang via Pangsoon (Selangor), Gunung Nuang via Janda Baik (Pahang), Gunung LEW via Sungai Dara (Perak), Gunung Angsi via Ulu Bendul (Negeri Sembilan) and lots more.

Take note that there might be a price hike of 10% on Kinabalu hike starting from March 2011 according from my friend.

Enjoy the hike and cheers!

Sorry for the late reply. I aint going to the Gunung Nuang via Pangsoon at this moment as I am training else where. Weekday perhaps? LOL

Added on January 2, 2011, 6:17 pmIf you are at Johore, perhaps you can climb Gunung Ledang and Gunung Belumut.

Not much mountain around Shah Alam or Klang. You should straight head down to Hulu Langat and try Gunung Nuang. Successful with the climb then Gunung Kinabalu is nothing but a piece of cake.

Added on January 10, 2011, 9:30 pmWhich Bukit Tabur you are referring to? Bukit Tabur West? Bukit Tabur East? Or Bukit Tabur Extreme? In case you do not know that there are 3 Bukit Tabur that can be hike from Melawati.

I only interested in Kuala Koh - Kuala Tahan at this moment.

Added on January 17, 2011, 3:11 pmBukit Tabur West - start from left side from the main gate of Klang Gate
Bukit Tabur East - start from the pipelines

Both are two different ridges therefore it is different. Bukit Tabur West can offer you a sunrise directly but for Bukit Tabur East you will be able to see the mist coming from the rain forest and the reflection from the dam. Anyhow I still prefer to go to East instead of West because West is congested during weekend.

If I saw your message earlier, I will invite you to hike with me to East tomorrow, 18th January. If you would love to try Extreme, perhaps you do not mind joining me for a hike next month after CNY.

Note: Extreme is tougher than both East and West combined.

If you want to try something challenging, perhaps you can join a group that will be going to Gunung Benum.

P/s: Can be as tough as Gunung Tambuyukon or Gunung Chamah .

Why do not complete Gunung Gayong on the same trip? Just 1.5-2 hours from Korbu's summit -.-|||

How much will be your charges to Korbu?

It is one of the G7 - Peninsular 7 highest mountain which all 7000+ ft.

Last time, Korbu-Gayong can be regard as one of the toughest trek but since it is popular, it became easier. Two campsites along the trail and depends where you really want to camp and possible camp at the peak of Korbu. From Korbu it will take around 2 hours of day pack to Gayong.

Last waterpoint should be 3 hours from Korbu. If you have no experience in camping, carrying weight around 10-25kg, better give this a skip. You will have to endure a minimum 3 days 2 nights here.

Perhaps you should try the easier mountain category. Some of the list I know:-

Gunung Datuk - Rembau, N9
Gunung Angsi - Kuala Pilah, N9
Gunung Bunga Buah - Genting Highlands
Gunung Tok Wan - Broga behind
Gunung Ulu Semangkuk - Fraser Hills
Pine Tree Trail - Fraser Hills
Gunung Kutu - Kuala Kubu Bharu
Gunung Lambak - Johor
Gunung Belumut - Johor
and bla bla bla.

They? Who are you referring to?

When you want something cheap and reliable, you will realize most hikers will get the black rubber shoe, also known as Kampung Adidas. Price range from RM3.80 to RM8.80 per pair.

Good luck in your climb to APS. When you talked about lvl 6, you are coming from Cheras and that is the small peak of Ah Pak San. When you are hiking from Ampang, that would be Bukit Saga. Most people confuse with the name but both peak located at the same forest reserve.

Hmmph, if weekday you guys free you can feel free to join me

Perak and Pahang XD

Angsi via mana ?
Ulu Bendul?
Bukit Putus?
Senawang?

---

Added on March 19, 2011, 8:35 amI will have to agreed with honeymic as I started training at Bukit Saga (alternative route to Ah Pek Hill) although it is just a hill or the the tougher one at Hulu Langat, Gunung Nuang. Try trekking with weight around 10kg with you and you will feel why Bukit Saga/Ah Pek Hill difficult. Never try never know.

---

Added on March 19, 2011, 8:40 amWill be going with another lowyat forumer to 5 mountains starting tomorrow. Mountain height range from minimum 1500+ - 2000+. Not any of the G7s but those 1700m and 1800m aint going to be easy. That's for sure. Range time from 4 hours - 10 hours completion.

For Sunday trip, it will be a camping trip so definitely you will not be prepared within a day with the food and stuff. Would not advice you to go as well as it is steep all the way up.

As for Monday and Tuesday trip, I will welcome you to join us if you have the time. Meeting point would be at Cameron Highlands as we need some time to travel from Sunday event. Interested PM me back before 4pm today or else tough for me to do the arrangement. Thanks.
