QUOTE(juichuan @ Mar 31 2006, 06:42 PM) welcome to the club. feel free to participate in any of the threads on wall climbing, bukit tabur and mountaining threads. mind telling me the links of those threads? my thread created in hobbies forum had been moved to here. i thought that outdoor thingies would fall under hobby. btw could you have it merged with this thread? i think it's redundant. thx.

QUOTE(^monsieur^ @ Apr 3 2006, 03:22 AM) i'm impressed and amazed with all the mountains u have conquered. u must be one of the hardcore climbers. i've completed my transtitiwangsa and hoping to complete G7 too. but from the stories i heard from other climbers, CUS (chamah-ulu sepat) is tough. hope we can do our CUS together.. nah it's nothing fancy, really. that's what you get if you go from Kuala Tahan - Gunung Tahan - Kuala Tahan twice which basically around 110km. but i must warn you it's tough as hell. my toughest mountain climbing so far. i lost nearly 10kg after spending 8 days in the jungle.

QUOTE(^monsieur^ @ Apr 3 2006, 04:04 PM) well, i kindda like the challenge. transtitiwangsa is tough too. and yes, it makes me lost some weight, though i'm skinny. lol.. that's what i heard about trans titiwangsa also. a friend of mine went there during the dry period and they were having a hell of a time conserving enough water. a lot of spots which were known as water points were dry. imagine drinking two bottle cap at night for 2 night straight as for tahan, i don't recommend you or anybody for that matter to go there during raining season. it's hell i tell you. we spent the whole day from sg putih camp to sg teku camp which on normal day will took you about 4 - 5 hrs hike/walk.

QUOTE(F33L3Lik3Hom3 @ Apr 3 2006, 09:06 PM) any idea when is a good time to climb Gunung KInabalu ? try to avoid going there during raining season. you can't see a thing and the chill would really affect your endurance/energy/spirit. i guess june - august would be the best period to go there. don't worry about food or drinks there. they got a restaurant at gunting lagadan (or was it the other camp?). make sure you got enough money though! i was charged RM4.00 for a cup of hot milo
