Preparation for trekking in Gunung Irau.
1) There is no waterpoint in Gunung Irau unless you can settle for the mud water, carrying enough water is a must.
2) There is a trek junction to look out for and as KC's co-organiser, Tony put it
" The trail is V shape IE start from Gunung Brinchang, going downwards and then upwards to the peak. There's is a mini Irau peak (just like Gunung Nuang in Ulu Langat 'false peak) from there will take u 30 minutes to reach the Gunung Irau peak.
There are a number of cross trails, therefore just follow the marker else you will be going round and round..
75% of the climb, you will be using your four limbs Do not walk on the muddy path or else you will come back without shoes
Just enjoy the scenery.... the mossy forest , Take nothing but leave footprints and take pictures.
There's a distance marker shows 3km
REMINDER : Torchlite, WIndbreaker & raincoat IS COMPULSORY as the forest will be dark by 6pm. Carry whisel is highly recommended BUT use when necessary
Attire : Long Pants, Bermuda short or tights is recommended
Bring used newspaper or plastics bags and have water in the car to wash up after the climb.
Wallets, Camera, Handphone, please put in plastic bag in case it rain.
You need to carry some food but DO NOT LITER.....
Lastly.. appreciate that all you adhere to the cut off time IE 2pm. If u still not reach the peak by 2pm please turn back.
NB : if its heavy rain and thunderstorm before the climb, the climb will be called off. During the climb if its rain, optional either u climb to the peak or turn back BUT cut off time MUST be adhered.
