Another KL Hiking Meetup event organized by Alex and Ray Lee
 |
| After a grueling six hours, I finally reached Gunung Liang West summit. This peak is lower than Liang East, which is another 15 minutes further away. |
 |
| Trail head- After parking our cars and walked a short distance we reached the gate of water treatment intake point. The sign read 'No trespassing' but there was no guard here. We had to skirt around this gate and its perimeter fence by climbing a short and steep slope on the left (a hiker was seen on that part). |
 |
| Kem Lubok Hantu- This campsite is quite big to accommodate many tents. |
 |
| Next to the Kem Lubok Hantu was the ferocious river crossing where many of us were scrambling over the rocks to avoid getting the boots wet. Some did not succeed and fell to the stream of fierce current and swept down to the swallow pool below- much to our amusement after an initial panic for fear of drowning. |
 |
| Kem 7E (Seven Eleven) at 1200 meter, five tents could be pitched here. Normally hikers will stay overnight here- not many are as crazy as we are to do Liang in a single day although it is doable. See here is Tee Kong Tiong and Vincent. |
 |
| Summit of Gunung Liang East, 1933 meter, at 1:30pm, with Ray Lee, who hikes mountains like Siao Fei Xia (Peter Pan). |
 |
| With Chun and Ez Paul. Notice the fairy tale-like mossy forest at the summit. I took lunch (some nameless bun and Kitkat bar) here at 1:30pm, rest for a while and follow the rest to descend at 2pm (turn around time). |
