Tabur Hill West 445m ( Crystal Hill -Limestone) - 10 Jul '16
 |
| Steep climb for a short distance. 72 degree incline |
 |
| Entrance to West Bukit Tabur. |
 |
| Track # along the West Tabur trails and the corresponding GPS locations. Unfortunately there are no labels for the photos to index which locations. |
 |
| Early morning view of the mist at forest canopy and the unmistaken peaks profile from Tabur |
 |
| Low clouds / mists didn't hide the round contour of the reservoir's finger edge. |
 |
| Garden Gloves needed |
 |
| I knew Cress ( extreme right) from Mersing Milkyway group and join his Group for the Tabur Climb |
 |
| You can trace the jagged peaks trailing the background high peak into the distance. This quartz ridge is the longest in the world. ( 14 Km x 50 m wide and 400m high) |

On the right hand side of the ridge ...

 |
| You have to climb over rocks to get there. |
 |
| On firm ground |
 |
| False Ru or Baeckea frutescens ( thanks Joseph Lai for the ID) found here. At certain places of the ridge I have to bent down to avoid the branches. These are NOT coniferous as widely reported |
 |
| At wetter season there will be more carpeting from these moses |
 |
A white seam of the whiter color quartz crystall can be found here
