3145M Mount Merbabu Climb

So we have been training as a team on friday battling the highest point in our beloved country, Bukit Timah Hill.

The hill in Singapore stands at a modest 163.63 Meters.

Today Jin Fong and I decide to battle an ultra-prominent peak mountain summit, Mount Merbabu which stands at 3145 meters.

We can finally put our training every Friday in place this time, as we wanted to recce and see the feasibility of this mountain climb for the upcoming FAM Camp in July.

We took a staggering 8 Hours hike to the summit and 5 hours hike downhill.

Here I lie down in my hotel bed with jellylike legs from hiking for 13 Hours, I just wanted to sum up my first mountain climb experience.

1.) Wear the right shoes

I wore vans, I wanted to test if shoes was a necessity for our consultants, trust me i slipped and fell countless of times.

2.) I wanted to give up

There were 7 Pos in Mount Merbabu, during the first pos I puked everything out because I didn’t train for altitude sickness, but Jin Fong held me through (he carried the camera bag up actly)

3.) The View at the Top.

I can assure you, that being at that level and looking at everything around you, I was above cloud level, I have no idea if there is a term of it, all I knew that if I fell, heaven was nearby, but I can assure that at that moment I really felt that I could do anything, until I realised that I still have to make the 3145 km hike down

So to Nirmal Purja MBE I have watched your Netflix I have no idea how you did it I have utmost respect for you.

To the Korean ajummah who stared at me at the summit only to tell me fighting, I have no idea how you do it at that age also you really solid,

And to those who have yet to try to climb a mountain like that, I urge you to try it once, I can’t exactly tell you the feeling I can’t piece the words together right now,

All I know is that you DONT’T have to be physically fit, trust me I’m not.

Just need to have the right people around you, and you’ll be able to conquer mountains together.

And yay first ⛰️
