Rockface Thriller

We reach the much awaited Rockface, only after  7 months since the idea popped-up. Yeah, happy, clappy, puppy!

(syed anaz and ron jeremy were the trail-gosippin' topic of the day.. *sigh*)

Deep and closer contour lines from topomap proves how steep this section was in reality.

First switchback apparently nasty,  dark curve edges at some of the section got to be reinforced, with tambak 

johor kind of thing.

4 hours of free labor (with love), only 15 meters of trail built. But deep inside, huge relief to hear the sound of Twin Gorge. 

Kong He Fat Choy!

Grow a beard and go ride!"

We heard Pcc gang visit Lefty Ridge for their weekly Mud N Dirt session, hopefully they know the real riding flow of this loop, and we still at Kicauan trail, making progress, meet the Pakis, and getting closer to Rockface. Oh Rockface, you are simply "dekat tapi jauh".

Rotans before ..

After 3 months of long holidays and excuses, on the very 1st of February, finally, we managed to overcome our "tepuness" and continue mencangkul to linking up the pieces.

The stubborn piece of JoniRotan (named after Pistols' Johnny Rotten,resemblance to this piece, which is wild and raw, i.e berselirat dengan rotan dan akar).

It was the slowest part, it tooks 3 months holiday to solve the puzzles, which eventually resurface to the last terrace before proceed to Rockface, maybe on the next session.

Rotans after..
