Let's keep climbing. If we do that, I believe we can meet again!!!

"I'm Ok if there's no sun..."

TLJ Takun Summit Expedition 2015 was planned on 19/04/2015. Which just past. Well, after all the hard work, the training, the effort of getting things prepared, the worries of the rain and weather...

The expedition didn't happen. One of the teammates just recovered on Friday. In the groupchat, I asked if he is ok to climb the 9 pitches.... And that was the answer I got. Getting out from the roof to climb a 200m route consist of 9 pitches and expect there's no sun... Isn't it easier to say, "Sorry, I don't think I'm fit to climb" rather than just putting the blame on the sun which shines everyday in Malaysia? So, when nobody wants to be responsible for failing to climb on the agreed date, "someone" has to be responsible at the end of the day so that someone else can say, "Well, I said I'm ok if there's no Sun, but HE decided to call it off."

And there you go, I decided to be the HE is this situation where noone wants to take the blame.

But as soon as I called off the expedition, there you go... He start asking people to join him in an Air-Conditioned Climbing Gym. Maybe, just maybe... Sweating in Aircond is still better than sweating under the sun especially when you just recovered from fever. I am in no medical expertise is justifying this fact... Just maybe.

Sometimes I wonder... 

Maybe it's just me, Wanting them to explore themselves more into the height. 

Maybe it's just me, expecting them to be excited about climbing a really long route like how excited I was 8 years ago.

Maybe it's just me, thinking that all the climbers wanted to climb high and see things from an angle they've never seen before.

Maybe it's just me, wanting to finish off whatever I've started

Anyway, the climb has been rescheduled to 9/5/2015. But I have not receive any definite response from either of them...

Maybe, if we fail to attempt again... the team isn't destined to summit Takun. Anyway, it's just a journey of 1 1/2 years with the team and nobody should feel any lost and be sorry about it. 

Whatever moment we've been through would still be precious and should be kept in a corner of our memory to remember all the great times we've had. Well, at least for me... 6.^

If my Colorado trip is a full stop to the second chapter of my climbing journey, lets meet again in some rock one day in chapter 3. My friend once told me,

Let's keep climbing. If we do that, I believe we can meet again!!! - Takuma, 30/03/2007

And that was the last time I heard from him. And I am very sure I will meet him again somewhere on the rock. Climbing.

Thanks for spending your precious time to read my ranting, if there's any reader. Till I write again, take care.

From the mountain to the ocean...

Wohoo... I'm finally certified as a PADI Open Water Diver... Another item from the bucket list cleared. So, the upcoming event is an important one. The Takun 9 pitches Summit Ascent. Can't wait for the day to come...
And next, I will be busy preparing for my USA Trip. Which will take place a day after my Birthday 34th Birthday. Maybe I can have a short diving trip at the East Coast before my USA trip. And maybe a short dive trip at FLorida while visiting my friend there. That will be perfect... And after the USA Trip...  It's time to put myself on another Complete Climbing Rest Mode. Well, not sure how long it's gonna take, but I needed this rest for my shoulder to recover.

 

A step I walk closer to my Long awaited US Climbing trip is another step closer to my Climbing Rest Mode. And every time I felt excited about the trip, it kinda remind me that my Rest Mode is approaching. And it never fail to put me in emotions...

Well, at this moment... Other than wishing for my shoulder to recover asap during the Complete Rest Mode, I have a small little dream...

Is to have everything I know to pass on to anyone whom are willing to learn. So that those whom are passionate will have his opportunity to learn and experience Multipitches Climbing is a safe environment with the Right People to guide them.

I wish that putting my hope and trust to Jocelyn and Loon will not end up with disappointment and everything I thought them will be handed from generation to generation of climbers whom are passionate about Multipitches Rock Climbing.
Well, maybe my little dream is too big for them. But I hope they'll keep their promise that they've made before accept Multipitches Climbing teacher.

Well, that's a hope. So, what's next?? Yeah, during the rest... I also hope that I will have more time to Dive... Somewhere, Somehow... Maybe an advance Open Water course?? It's too early to say so. But after my Redang Kalong trip on 04/01/2015, I'm in loved with the ocean too...


I know I'm gonna miss the rock, and the team. Esspecially Jocelyn.

Thanks for reading, if there is any. See you next time.
