Exploration of Mount Gunung Brinchang and Irau (MOSSY Forest)

Salam, not long already it feels like typing this blog. Busy little savage "junior". Managing the "junior" that a're not crazy I made. But fun with coquettish "junior". Also feels resentful. Next time my little story about "junior". Now I want my story a little bit of mountain climbing experience as last year.

This year we are planning to climb Mount Irau in Cameron Highlands from 15-17 November 2012 as one of the annual program of work of course I am. Summit of Mount Irau ideas inspired by me also my boss as movements such healthy activities. (After down from the mountain sure body aches. Hahahaha). This Irau mountain is also known as the "MOSSY Forest" Malaysia. It's beautiful scenery and surroundings on our way to the summit of Mount Irau. Height of this mountain is 2110 meters A.P.L.

Exploration of Mount Gunung Brinchang and Irau (MOSSY Forest)

As scheduled, we departed from KL to Cameron Highland on November 15 at 8.30 am. We planned to camp at Kem Sungai Pauh, Cameron Highland Forest Office which is located near to Taman Sedia. Trips are planned to arrive at Kem Sungai Pauh is not as we planned. Relatively late arrival of our schedule. Travel to Kem Sungai Pauh from the Simpang Pulai exit takes almost quite long because the congested traffic situation and also due to a damaged bus at a bend heading to Tanah Rata.

MOSSY Forest

Upon reaching the location of Kem Sungai Pauh, without further delay, we put up a tent. All were tired after sitting in a bus takes a long time. Respectively find a comfortable area to set up camp. We chose a site close to streams near the surau and toilets. This camp area have the facilities for prayers, bathing and the most fun, there is a switch to charge the camera battery and mobile phone.

While a man and a woman drive in their tents, some will begin preparations for our dinner. After "flysheet" to take shelter from the dew stretched, we are also among the fried noodles dining touched by the river that flows ice cold variety. Drinking hot water that has been made by the chefs always warms the atmosphere. Hot water to the extent that we cool it in the river.

The next activity on our first day in the Kem Sungai Pauh, Yasin Reading is held after Maghrib prayer led by brothers Tam Radzi. Readings at night because that day is a public holiday, Awal Muharram.

When all had gathered at the peak of Gunung Brinchang, after reading prayers for safety and ease of travel we climb Mount Irau, warm-up session before climbing led by our own boss.

warming up

On this day, there are 2 groups of climbing Mount Irau, our group and another group of independent climbers. Our range of life also. They start journey slightly ahead of us because they are in small groups. Before starting to climb, also my chance to take a picture at the entrance to Gunung Brinchang. Heading off to get to the top at 10.30 am. Quite late for a large group like us.

waiting for transportation

Thank God, our journey illuminated by bright sunshine without a drop of rain on the day of our climb. The climb to the peak Irau take 4 hours 45 minutes. We headed down to Brinchang Peak at 6 pm from Mini Irau. We arrived at Brinchang Peak approximately 10.30 pm. I'm already tired of typing, I'm also one of those who were injured on that day. Thanks to the help of friends and the spirit. Important of all was safe climb and a safe return to camp. Happy reading and very detrimental if not climbing Mount Irau.
