hey dear,
try to pack light ya...you don't want to be lugging 20kg on your back up a mountain. make sure you get those scuba head lamps. quite cheap wan...torchlight have to use hands which you will need for climbing. scarf is useful. and if you scared of cirit birit, bring those water purification tablets.
enjoy!! it's great fun :)
Oh, thanks for the tips. Sounds like you've been up at the peak already!
yup :)
and hopefully going again soon :)
is MFG going with you? then can catch sunrise together at the peak...so romantic :P
MFG ah... he's not really in the "picture" anymore, if you know what i mean.
I might not be going, or rather, can't go on the week i wanted to - on my birthday.
Sigh... I guess life is full of disappointment all the time. Hey, if anyone plans to go Mt KK and be on the peak on 8th Jul, pls let me know! I want to go. :)
