Day 4(1more day to go!!)

2am and the sun is not up yet.Woke up and only had a glance of the summit people just before they left.

I felt horrible and miserable when i got up.There was this terrible one of a kind kinda headach.

That was when i remembered that Wee jie was also in this situation.He also told me he felt the similar pain I was feeling .I was having AMS=(

The pain is indescribable it's just one of a kind.

Had no choice I really wanted to do the via ferrata.So, i had to rely on my "Best Friend",the panadol.

I still felt terrible but had to focus on where I was walking as it was dark,slippery & the winds were strong but not as bad as yesterday.

This is the 2nd attempt up.

Soon we were on the rock face where we turn back yesterday.

We could see the city lights and it was awesome!!(but no shots were taken)

Soon we reached the last check point before the summit,Sayat Sayat,and rested while waiting for the sun to rise.We pee-ed at the highest toilet in south east Asia =)

We got our harnesses and helmet and made our way up when the sun was up.

Within the next minute the clouds had swallowed us.

We passed the summit group,they had to turn back as the weather conditions got really bad.

We carried on to the peak where we are given special privilege to carry on.

We had a short rest but it wasn't really helping as it keeps getting colder

It was so cold to a point we had to cuddle with one another and didn't care who it was.

Via Ferrata:The Iron Road

& point of no turning back

My group was first to go and I was first leading my group.

It was really scary at the very start as it was vertically downwards.

Enough talk let the pictures do the talking

At the start of rock face my gloves were wet and numb the wind got as bad as it did yesterday.

I was shivering like i never did.Those of you who knows me you would know how warm I am.

I was really shivering mad so was Zoe.

Zoe's a year3 senior and she was really fun to go down with.

This point of time we were really praying for the sun to come out.

We didn't dare complain how hot it was in Singapore anymore.

Came to a point on one of a very steep rock face I really had to pee so did Zoe.

& it was f-ing urgent that it would come out anytime.Despite the fact that i pee-ed at the last checkpoint i still had to attend nature's call.

we took off our harness and took turns to pee at the bush, it was really dangerous but i got the best view while peeing=)

The rest had to stay in this position...hehe

sorry guys!!

Carried on the journey and the sun was finally up!!

We were really thankful for the warmth,Sunlight never felt so good in my whole life!!

Award winning shot!!
How i wished it was me in the picture.

Winston happened to be at the right place at the right time.

In total we took 6 hrs to complete via ferrata.

to be continued(partII)....
