NYAMUK

well ... nyamuk stands for mosquito in malay... but this NYAMUK i m saying here is another climbing spot at batu caves which i went to this afternoon .... so today we actually did a small expedition to NYAMUK!!!

today's plan got a bit off .. because of some emergency .. Chaun reach campus bout 12 sumthin... so we start out journey to nyamuk there... on the way .. i read the 'rock climbing in asia' book to know more bout nyamuk .. which ALL of us is 1st time there.. so i call it expedition .. keke ... anyway .. i read some of the route.. which i onli c 6 7 8 .. there are onli less than 5 of 5 route.. OMG.. btw those number stands for grade.. which i expect every1 2 know which is harder....

so some brief explanation of nyamuk ... so .. to gain access to nyamuk wall .. we need to walk pass a kampng area... then some jungle trail .. tat's wat written in the book ... then nyamuk got few section .. which are.. shieldtox .. dengue (denggi) .. fumakila... anaphelis ... n i forgot dy .. n on the way.. i read some info bout DAMAI .. which is the place we used to go all the time ... it's written 'it's best place for beginners balbalba .. it's stated on ground ... blabla wit facilities .. shade balbal ...' i was thinking... on ground ?? ? wat's tat suppose to mean~

so when we reach there we look for way to nyamuk .. then go to damai wait for otehrs.. then we all go to nyamuk ... so we take all the equipments.. follow the map on the book .. walk pass a kampung .. then saw a jungle trail .. thought it's just some SHORT trail .. but it turn out to be some.. not long but quite hard to just walk jungle trail .. n it's slippery .. n so on .. so y name it nyamuk .. i understand when we were going to the wall .. those mosquito .. i tell ya .. it will stop on u .. even u use ur finger to flick them .. they won go off.. STICK tight tight.. !! unless u really flick it hard to make it off!! wtf! n the size is like size of a tiny bee... zzzz...

so we follow the trail n reach a wall .. which SHOULD be the 1 on the book .. n eventually we found out IT IS! there's no real place to rest.. just some like minimum flat ground for u to place ur stuff n so on .. tat's wat it mean by damai is on ground... now i know ... well .. so we started to take out equipment.. then start climbing.. Chaun went to store at the kampung to buy fumakila mosquito coil to chase away the mosquito .. it works.. keke .. so normal.. they lead i top rope.. i onli try 1 route today .. :< .. 6a route i climb like hell !! damn .. ! well .. because we came quite late.. so all of us basically just tried 1 route...

bout 7 sumhin we started packing n back .. coz starting to rain .. again !! rain!! i m a rain boy~~ tehn we went to USJ for dinner.. while meeting some they call him Cik P Ee .. n his name is forogt.. nvm tat .. then when they sending me back tat time.. they telling story bout the Cik P Ee guy .. then onli i found out myself is just so small so small .. tat guy is 1 of the earliest climbers in Malaysia.. he knows a lot.. contac good.. oh.. he is one of the climbers which went to the averest .. u know.. malaysia team tat went to Mount Averest few years back .. he is one of it ler.. then a lot more ler.. just STAR ler.. damn.. i really shock when i heard tat.. i just meet a star ~ oh .. then there's another 3 guy which join us at nyamuk there.. also star~ 1 of them is the 1st person in Malaysia who reach the summit of big wall .. big wall means a rock tat';s like 500 m or so .. which takes few days to reach n reach the summit.. the 1 he cimb is dragon's horn which is at pulau tioman .. i hope i remember the name correctly..
