Just Another Climbing Trip to Yong Yap~~~ Day 4~~~ 20080503~~~

I think I did wake up in the early morning when Manatray when out for the sun rise...
And seriously I really really want to go for the sun rise too...
But I was tired... And I was lazy... And it was so cold outside...
Somehow the urge of sleeping had overcome the urge to see the sun rise...
And I felt again into the land of dream... T_T...
And that was how I missed another sun rise again... T_T...
I think so far the only sun rise that I ever witness during an overnight climb was KK... T_T...
For the rest of the mountain that I ever conquered... I just can't wake up for its sun rise... T_T...
I wake up only 1 hour after the sun rise climate...
When bunch of people walked pass and through my tent...
Too bad... We setup the tent on one of the highway of the peak...
Anyway... Yong Yap peak was not a very nice place for watching sun rise...
As the peak was surrounded by a layer of man height bushes...
Which you almost can't see anything at all...
The only place that you can see anything outside the peak was a meter wide gap right at the direction of the sun rise...
Which make me kept wondering could it be something human made... ^^...



After the breakfast and after packing up everything...
And came the moment that I hate the most for the whole climb...
That was to wear the wet socks and shoes... Yuke... So hate... T_T...
Before we started our descending... We took a group photo as usual...
And in fact... We took lotsssss of group photos...
I was trying to take a panorama view from the peak...
But due to my laziness for not waking up early that lead and we were really late already...
I had to take the picture in a hurry...
And only to realize that I didn't take the panorama picture properly...
The pictures had been merged at the wrong place... What a waste... T_T...



We were lost after 15 minutes we started our day of descending...
Which according to our guide if we kept going down the track it will lead us to the peak of another mountain... T_T...
However... Since TheDegeneration and WinJong were first two and they were far more ahead of us...
We were quite worried that they might taken the wrong track like us...
But somehow there were nothing much that we can do about...
A sense of helpless when facing the challenge of mother nature...
I only can hope for the best for them...
And thank God too... They had picked the right one... ^^...
The climb down hill was easier a lot then the last two days...
Just that it really put my balancing skill up to the test especially on certain places that were really really steep...
However it was really a hard time for my knees... T_T...
Still it was consider quite a easy climb today except that it was too long...
9 hours of climb down hill... It was just way too long... T_T...



While on our way toward the deepest river crossing...
Which we had instructed by TheForestGump teach to stop there and wait for everyone...
We had been walking for hours and the track still seems to be neverending...
And everyone was tired and boring but still kept the legs moving...
Out of a sudden I heard a buzz on my left ear...
Then the next thing I got was a sharp pain on the back of my head...
Then I heard the screaming from the person right behind me who is from TheForestGump teacher team...
Then TheMuarian and then TheSingaporean...
Shit... Bees attack... T_T... And we ran...
The person behind got one... TheSingaporean got one... Me got one...
TheMuarian... He got three... Poor thing... T_T...
And after 15 minutes TheMuarian started to complain about the his swollen face... T_T...
Too bad that we do not have the proper medicine for his allergy...
Nothing we can do except asking him to bring more water and rest and wait for TheForestGump teacher for the medicine...
And I felt so sorry for leaving him and TheSingaporean behind...
Especially after knowing that he had totally collapsed not long after we left...
Until TheForestGump teacher catched up with him... T_T...
So sorry... But really that was nothing I can do about it... T_T...
By the way... The sting was really painful... And it hurts for two days... T_T...



After waiting for everyone to catch up at the deepest river crossing...
We had learned our lesson and came up with a human bridge to pass all the backpacks across the river...
Then helped each other to cross the river one by one...
For the first time after the three days climb...
I felt like we were really climbing as a team...
As all these well we were all climbing in small groups and the distance between groups was hours away... T_T...
Finally we were back to the orang asli village by 7pm...
The sun was about to set and the sky was getting darker...
Still we setup our camp... Cleaned ourselves up at the nearby river... Prepared our dinner...
All in the dark... But of course with our headlights...
We gathered up and started to talk bullshit...
And the hottest topic of course was the bee attack just now...
Some even share their strange encountered during the climb...
And of course they only dared to tell the story after we had back to the orang asli village...
That was the night that I slept the latest even I was really tired...
And again it was another clear night full with stars... ^^...
