Before heading to Pinancles

Getting ready to Camp 5

The Pinnacles

Mulu Pinnacles..... total hrs ascend descend 12 hrs.. 1st to reach the peak and last to reach back the camp 5.

It was a cool morning when started to hike Pinnacles.. as we started the journey at 6:45am, i took the lead and siew, ker Shing and Dathnie followed my pace, the 2 nd group were with Lawai(guide) and Eddie was accompanied by Jenny (guide).

At 9:30am , we reach the 1st ladder where the cut off time is 11am. 17 ladders to climb .. it just 400 meters to the Pinnacles but time taken for average climbers abt 1 hr. 95%he of t will be using the 4 limbs.

abt 10:15am, i reach the pinnacles..15mins later Siew, KS & Dathnie arrived and were amaze with the pinnacles formation. abt 10 mins later a grp of hikers whom we met at Camp 5 arrived (from NZ) were relieved when they reach the peak and amazed also. We sat for an hr busy taking pixs..at 12pm, the 3 ladies started to descend while I waited for the rest of the climbers.

Fred, Chong and Ng arrived at 12:30pm, they were the last to arrived. we started to descend 30 mins later and arrived at Camp 5 at 6:45pm as the 3 were totally exhausted.

It was a gd experience for the climbers .. Eddie didn't reach on time to the 1st ladder but king enough to cook dinner for the grp.

Left Camp 5 next day to the park.

Visiting the show caves and seeing the bat odus were part of trip and the grp really enjoyed.

Next yr. it Mulu Summit.. 24km hike to the peak.
