Climbing down. Time to say goodbye to Gunung Datuk.

I enjoy the hiking very much and so do my friends. It’s really a wonderful experience – enjoying the satisfaction of conquering the mountain. Great archievement for the beginners. I realize actually stamina is not really an obstacle. With determination and moral support, we can archieve our target even with pain.

Really looking forward for the next climb. This time must make sure we are well-prepared Join us to have fun……
