Let's ROCK!!! in Kironggu (^^)/

When was the last time I wrote about my adventure~?? June?? July?? So0o0o0 long ago I guess that I couldn't even remember... Finally, on January 15, I had the chance to go back into the wild~ \(^^)/ yeay!!!!

Like Chris Sharma, I also have my own escort.. That's my cousin there.. I officially assigned her as my cameragirl but actually most of the sceneries are taken by me. Just the pics of me climbing were taken by her... And I had to scream from the top to alert her~

"Pijah!! Amek gambar!!!" hahaha

We departed from SICC around 8am and it was about 15-20 minutes drive to Kironggu from there. I've never been to that area and was quite surprise to find gravel road in KK. Well, it's actually an abandoned quarry, if i'm not mistaken... But the scenery was so nice over there.. Reminded me of my ARC days~

It was rather nostalgic walking along the path surrounded by lushes greenery.. You can hear the sound of waterfall from afar.. Singing birds.. It was as if nature was humming to the rhythm of my footsteps.. Like welcoming an old friend.. Wah! Soooo Nostalgic...

I was not informed about the existence of a waterfall just beside the rock climbing area and was so delighted to see it.. It's been too long since I last saw one... During my ARC days, waterfall was a norm.. You bath in it, sometimes even had your drink from it.. I immediately went to the waterfall instead of checking the climbing site. Too excited!!!

There are 4 routes all together and I only manage to finish three of it.. The rocks were sooooo slippery due to the heavy downpour the night before. I couldn't even smear!!!!



Rock climbing was sure a much much more different experience from wall climbing.. You have to search the place to hold on to and there were like so limited holds!!!! I felt like a blind girl as my hands crept along the rock surface to find the slightest crack for me to grip. Most of the time they are not visibe to the naked eye; you have to FEEL it... Be one with the rock~

At one time, I was only standing on a very tiny crack!!!! Like less than an inch and that really hurt my toe~

The pic at the left; I almost give up there!! There's a cave just below me and when I was standing there I couldn't find any place to hold on to.. I can't even see what was on top of me.. Really depressing! There was this huge crack but then it was a loose rock so I can't take the risk.. I don't know how I finally got up there haha It was the magic of positive thinking and determination, I guess..

Mesut evolve had his bath in the waterfall.. Just the sole that is~ hehe

This is the pic taken from 1/3 of the rock.. Roy, me, Ryan Pijah, Nelly, Zack, Lee and Shawn. Vince was behind the camera..

I really like it in SICC.. All the climbers are like one big family (^^)

Hurm.. Looking forward for coming trips.. I miss my ARC days~ I really do~
