Itinerary description
With group of hiking/trail running friends
With our current crazy weather, any trail, easy nor tough, will be affected. The same with this particular mountain. What was an already undulating, crazy, continuous ascent, multiple false peaks, highly technical trail, and river crossings with dangerously strong currents to contend with, made doubly harder, with continuous rain, from the start of the hike, till the end.
Did this particular mountain, in 2018. However, this time, with what was going on with the weather, we managed to ONLY shaved off 2 hours, from how we did, before. Oh well. At least we got out, safe.

Folks! Pay attention! Look closely on the trail map (returning), follow that trail instead. We wasted 1/2 hour on this wrong trail (to/fro).

Bro, you didnt use that bamboo bridge to cross river?
No. Afraid not. Wanted to, but the Orang Asal community there has forbade us from ever using it.
Sorry brother. Didn't noticed your comment, until now. If it weren't for my deep-dive into Trans Spencer Chapman research, I'd likely would've missed it🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
