Carried 12-14 kg of load on my back, taking 12 hours to reach Gunting Lagadan and severe altitude sickness to endure along 8.5 km route to the peak.
I made it to the top.
I made it to the top.
***
I had 7 tablets of Actifast while ascending, and 2 before descending.
It's 7.4 degrees Celcius on the peak at 0830 hrs. It could be 4 if not because of the sun. A skinny Caucasian took off his shirt and said "Ohh, it's warm!"
My heart screamed, "You bloody motherf*cker.."
Slapped the green board to mark my reach at 4095.2 m. And yeah, 8 is now my magic number again.
