2011 Aug 13th -15th Yong Belar Expedition- we did it!

Gunung Yong Belar.....

It all started when I wrote it as part of my New Year's Resolution that I wished to go back to this moutain again before the end of this year.
Finally...... Its a complete trip for us!!


From the first attempt which with alots of worries, January Pre-Marking trip and until this trip...

Its our 3rd attempt within a year!
While recalling back, each time with different people, different weather & trail condition, but only a hope which is to summit and go home safely, scene after scene, from the 240 staircases as the starting point, the tough paip walking part, night walk up to the peak....etc. each and everyword is the products of alots of memories....mixed feeling.
Thanks for the insist, the motivations, before this, i cant believe i able stand on this moutain peak looking down.

Its the same again this border, different people around but same topic as jokes will still been built up....


For the first mile of the paip walking, it was still the toughest.

2o + hours of hike in within 48 hours.....

Which is the mentality that plays the most important part in helping ourself to keep proceeding.
A drop in temperature as we go higher in altitude meant that we cannot stop to rest for too long or we'll get really cold and slow down easily. Our legs were sore and every step just seems to get harder and harder.
One by one, the many famous features of the Yong Belar mountain peak began to reveal themselves.
It was a sight to behold.


Amidst the bad trail condition along the way from the dam to the road junction, special condition arisen on the vehicle which almost leaving us stranded at the road side.

Remain steadfast, though billion of thoughts running in her mind but without panicking and she did not forget to calm us down.

Long hours of hiking and we even night walking up to the peak, but still we continued, determined to make it to the top under the energy low moment, low temperature on the peak caused of the strong wind blowing at night but with super nice weather and the temperature is perfect in this whole trip compared to what ive heard people describing what it used to be.


Looking back, there were amazing views looking down from the peak and the surrounding area, this round the clouds did not obstruct some of the views which was a little exciting.
Its a tough, but a blessed trip.

Its a trip that showing how's my progress until today since my first visited the same moutain.
A trip which indeed takes courage to recall back in details.
Its infact a complete trip and its our first PTT.
Physically run out, fall after fall, there's a room for improvement no matter physically and mentality.
Its been years ODA been formed, tons of stories along it's epic journey til today.
Its nothing but the strong determination which walked the team for years.
And prior the trip, the last thing which been pin-pointed out to me was credibility, determination.


How determine you are in doing a thing is what decide how far you can go.

Thing that been pin-pointed out along the way is the way to get all things well-managed.
A backpack if well packed, it would be able to fit in many things. Just depend on how we going to arrange things. Its not the amount but its how well time been managed count.

Why things that been said is not align with the action???
Its either be responsible and do it with heart, but not just keep saying how much its been appreciated with the mouth but come out with thousand of excuses.
Heard it, said that i know it, noted are nothing, a thank you for this is pointless.
Learn it by heart, its a process, takes time, just the matter of how long i would take to change it from the heart but not for the sake of just doing it for temporary.
Only for this, a Thank You would be meaningful.
Thanks for the forgiveness and the patient, chances that given.

Dont take things for granted!!!!!

I still remembered, someone been telling me before my first attempt on Yong belar : ''If u wish to know do u really love hiking, try on this moutain, u will know yourself better......''
I enjoy this activity.
Her true passion, however, is hiking.
