Skytrek 13 Jan 2008

22 brave hearts found the way to Taman Pertanian Shah Alam to keep the appointment with Skytrex-Adventure. Julien, the owner turned up promptly at 8.30 a.m. to transport us, in 2 batches, to the skytrex site some distance from the main entrance inside the park. It was already 9.15 a.m. when all of us, individually fitted with safety harness, assembled for our briefing.
After a short practice session, we were guided to the starting point of the adult circuit to do the "Sky Climb', a vertical climb of 13m above ground. Thereafter, we sky trekked through 1km of aerial tracks comprising different level of difficulties and hitting a maximum elevation of 17m above ground.

Many found the "The Quake", and "Happy Hopper" most challenging. In the former, one needs to walk over a series of swing logs and the latter, one needs to hop over a series of suspended planks set more than 1 meter apart from one another.

The first participant started at 9.30 a.m. and the last participant (22nd) completed the circuit at about 11.30 a.m. taking a total of 3 hours as anticipated.
