For all Allah’s blessings.

Salam Pagi. May Allah protect and bless my family and friends Aameen.

Journey to Pintu Rimba

Pos 1 - 3… still efficient breathing… warming up…

Where the “adventure” begins…

Arrived at shelter 2 after about 2 hours of climb. It’s getting tougher.

Arrived at Shelter 3 at 3pm WIB. Alhamdulillah and it was very COOLLLDDDD… strong winds

Bros Andyn Kadir and Firdaus Aziz made our tent homely.

Badai kuat dan kabut tebal prevented us from moving further.

1030 hrs WIB, time to go back down. Ya Allah!

Bro Andyn Kadir punya cerita nak buat duit. Dengan member Firdaus Aziz pun nak cekek ke? Pfft

Alhamdulillah. Short of peaking, the memories had been boundless and unforgettable. An experience that will stay forever. Kerinci, may u be blessed always. Aameen

Terimakasih kepada [STG] Trail Activities Group Dan Hamzah Mieza yang kelolakan trip Kerinci dan guide serta porters kami dari Trekking Indrapura. Alhamdulillah service yang mantap, porters bersemangat, mendorong kami maju sampai puncak. Jazakallah khair tuan Alpandi dan rakan rakan… dapat sertikepiket!!! Macam boleh put in the resume pfft

Breakfast before we leave for our long journey to Padang.

Tak puas hati ngan tu cloud pfft

Delayed berkali-kali balik nak jumpa anak isteri. Cubaan… pfft

Tkasih Trekking Indrapura.

Welcoming party. Macam tak sampai sampai pfft

Alhamdulillah reached 3700m on Mount Kerinci. Unfortunately heavy gusty winds and incoming bad weather prevented us reaching peak at another 100m.

All praises to Allah for Allah’s knows best. Aameen
