Is Gunung Angsi again - This day hike wasn’t been planned intentionally to match with the 30 years hiking anniversary, perhaps the faith with this mountain is always there.
Usual crowd, lesser trash, newly grown flora, greenery scene from the summit had turned into concrete red, grey blue, white building developments. One thing always remains - The steel Berut marking of this mountain.
From 3 days 2 night via Ulu Bendol -> 2 days 1 night via Bukit Putus -> Few hours of day hike. It is a process of witnessing the changes in mountain climbing activities do and don’t, hiking etiquette to leisure weekend activity.
It is changes from carrying haversack, backpack, day hike pack, hydro bag.
It is also the changes in name from Ah Hoon, Lao Shi to Boss Boss.
Meeting many hikers bringing along their next young generation is indeed brought in yearssssss of scenery, memories, teaching and lessons when newly trying out this activity which inspired, guided, coached and cultivated by Late Cikgu - You are always dearly missed and greatly reverence.
A mountain which had changed many’s life pathway, journey and many more to come, seeing the development is moving rapidly nearer to the mountain foothill, with hope it will not have happen too soon which the mountain natural height of 824m replaced by skyscraper or highway flyover height.
Thank You - Gunung Angsi for continuously receiving countless visitor while keep loosing the most upward surface protection , widen and steeper terrain on excessive recurring hiking shoes impact.
When life gives you a mountain, put on your boots and hike !
