Continuing from Climbing up Bukit Singa - Part II.
With no way up to the summit looking clear while bad weather loomed in the horizon I was on the verge of giving up.
So I retraced my steps going down to call it a day.
Even going down one can get lost on the many intersecting plantation paths, terraces and gravel way for tractors and 4WD vehicles... if not for the fact that the hillside has been cleared for a new batch of palm trees or such.
That allowed me to gauge my direction just by finding back where my car was parked down there at the foothill...
In time I came back to the last forking way of which I seemed to have taken the wrong turn.
That's when I decided why not take the way to the right which also seems to lead up?
This time I hit jackpot. Following the way without diverging out I soon found myself at the foot of the main peak.
Still I decided to follow the way further...
After some time I realised it leads to a lower peak of the hill.
To get to the highest peak I have to do some rock climbing. I was not wearing the right gear and it soon started to rain. At least I have met my target to get to the foot of the highest peak. So that was enough for the day.
