Taking a different approach to the summit of a hill east of Sungai Buaya

Continuing from Checking a path to the west from Sungai Buaya.



Five days later, Sunday morning around 10 am, 11th February 2024 I took the bike down another path, to the east from Sungai Buaya.



At first, going by what I saw on the satellite pictures in Google Map and Google Earth, I thought I could take the bike all the way closing to the summit of 170-metre high hill. As it turned out there are many parts of the path which is now blocked by growth.




Continuing on foot, I had trouble finding the path. For a small time got lost and almost gave up.




But I pressed on and found the path back...













Again and again I found the path blocked but still  pressed on.




And so I came across this opening...










But it seems I had veered off quite a distance from the intended summit of the hill.




I retraced my steps up to a certain distance then pushed upwards across this bushes.




Based on my location as pinpointed in the satellite picture on Google Map I soon found another path.




This time I could clearly see it could lead to the summit...










There, I have reached a part of the summit.







Looking around...










On to another part of the summit and looking around...










This should be the third time I got to the summit of this 170-metre high hill east of Sungai Buaya.












But previously I climbed up from a different approach and practically walked all the way from the closest accessible tarred road.










On to the eastern tip of the summit and looking around...
