Gunung Panti Trek on 30th July 2005

Posted on 3rd September 2005.

This tiny 513m mountain is fast becoming our signature trek! Due to its relatively easy approach, it is really suitable for beginners. The 30m rock face just before the summit offers a surmountable challenge, even for first-timers.

I met the participants at an unearthly 7:30AM at Marsiling MRT station before setting off for the checkpoints. We cleared the customs swiftly, due to the lack of crowds, possibly because the Malaysian Ringgit appreciated against the US dollar, making it uneconomical to shop across the Causeway.

For some of the participants, this trek to Gunung Panti is their second. My friend Tuan Woon had to accompany a lady down the previous time so I made him come along to make up for him not reaching the summit back in March 2005. As for Christopher, he was there to familiarise himself so that he can lead treks up Gunung Panti in the future. So if you are interested to learn how to lead treks, do sign up for our activities!

My university friend Wei Tshen was there with her colleague Hannah. They came for a recce before deciding if they want to let their charges in Ling Kwang Youth Centre go on this adventure. Patrick and his wife, and Su Peng are avid nature trekkers who signed up for my local treks and I was glad to have them on board for my overseas trek!

Patrick and his wife have been to Panti before. I invited them along as I had 2 slots left but they insisted on paying. Sigh. Such nice people! (”,) Last but not least, there is Pei Xi and her boyfriend Hon Sun. Pei Xi is the twin sister of Pei Yu, a great gal whom I got to know from Berkelah Falls trek sometime back. So you can say that this was a gathering of sorts for my friends!

In all, we took less than 5 hours to go up and come down. At Patrick’s wonderful suggestion, we freshened up at Kota Tinggi Waterfalls Resort before going to our dinner location at Pasir Gudang.

Enough said, please view the slideshow of 36 pictures that really tell the whole story of our wonderful time. Thank you to all my trekkers for making this another blessed trek!
