Broga Hill

There were 14 of us all together, but somehow only 7 of us took a group pic.

I finally went for a hike in Broga Hill and it was awesome, although quite dangerous. I've always wanted to go for a hike up Broga Hill. These days it seems like everyone is hiking up Broga, and that includes me too. lol. I went for a sunset hike on thursday, but only managed to get to the first peak though due to lack of time. I think it took about 30 minutes for us to reach the first peak. We started the hike down from the first peak at 6.30.

At the first peak. :D

The hike up was ok, the 'forest' part was fine. But once you start to hit the peak, that part was horrible. Not because it was physically demanding, but because of the terrain. Mabye coz i wasn't wearing good shoes (my nike shoes were kinda worn out) but it was really slippery. The terrain was plain sandy. It didn't have any grass, or rocks to really step on, all it had was... sand. It felt like the moment you stepped down, you would slip down, and off the hill.... Which was plain scary. At one point I was stuck, I knew that if i moved a muscle, i would start slipping, and i couldn't go down, coz it was so steep. And then, i made the mistake of looking down and went whoa.... (i'm not afraid of heights btw), and just ran up. I was freakin terrified of slipping and falling off the cliff. No kidding, seriously. Me and my friends went up using both hands and feet. And we came down on our butts. It was so steep, we were afraid we would roll down Broga if we went down on our feet. Surprisingly, going down was easier than going up. But that was probably coz we took the wrong route up....

On the way down.

All in all, Broga was really fun. I want to go again, this time for a sunrise hike. And i want to hit all three peaks this time... Hmm, another hike up Broga, and Tabur too, hopefully, before I start my new semester.

Hiking up to the peak.

It doesn't look steep in the picture, but it really was steep.
