I revisited Gunung Datuk on November 12, 2012 with a few of my old high school (SMK Taman SEA) friends.
I’ve updated my first post on Gunung Datuk with some new photographs and information, so you should head there if you want details on the climb.
It was a slightly different experience as it has been raining a lot, so the trail was quite wet and the stream at the start of the trail was about 12″/30cm higher than on my first climb (Doesn’t matter in terms of crossing as there’s a bridge). Luckily, we had much better skies this round, meaning that we got a pretty good view at the [false, I should say] summit.
All in all, a nice morning out, though I’m not sure I would normally drive almost 2 hours each way from PJ for such a short climb, especially with 10 people crammed into 2 cars!
Dear Hoong-Ern
It’s about six years since we last saw each other at Millfield and we haven’t been in touch for a long time. I hope you are well.
It would be great to hear your news and to know what you’ve been up to since Harvard. I hope you feel able to be in contact.
With my best wishes
Ben Charles
You must come and climb to indonesia. Many mountains with amazing view
