A Quickie at Tabur West

Its not that kind of quickie, it was quick hike to Tabur West. I was looking for an alternative form of work out to ready me self for the Viper Challenge. Lifting weights and just running around has become too monotonous. I wanna find an exciting way to be fitter and stronger to do the Viper Challenge.

Tabur West is one of the most popular hiking trek in the Klang Valley area. It is close enough for the city folks and it is not demanding, as a friend of mine survived it even though he last climb anything was 2 years ago.

This is the gps data gathered from the hike. The peak is at about 390m above sea level. It took us slightly more than 3 hours to reach the peak due to the heavy crowd hiking on that day. The queue to pass certain areas are just too long. We could have made the total hike in less than 4 hours if there were less traffic up there.
One Person at a time.

It was fun and tiring. It worked on the quads very well and i do feel 2 kg lighter after that. But then i filled it back with Cendol Pulut and Rojak Mamak.

I will do it again soon.

People waiting for their turn going up. It was a good thing we had only 7 people in our group, so making it easier to manage. There this group with about 20 people and its kinda take a long time to get everyone across some crevices and most are not experienced.
