DAY 03-PINNACLES CHALENGE UP VIEW POINT(Bf, P.lunch, Dinner)

Early wakeup & breakfast. The adventure to the viewpoint kicks off at 7.00am, after a night’s stay at camp 5. The climb is challenging, filled with fun and excitement. The trail is 2.4km in length but rises some 1,200 metres. Vegetation vary following the changes of altitudes. The varieties of wild orchids and pitcher plants scarcely seen elsewhere can spotted along the trek before reaching the Pinnacles. The last section of the trail is near vertical, with rope sections and 15 aluminium ladders strategically positioned to help with the climb. The view point area is made up of a number of Pinnacles, rock and vegetation and has excellent views of the silver-grey forest of stone that rises up from the surrounding vegetation. Fit and experienced trekkers should be able to reach the top in 2-3 hours. The not so fit but determind generally take around 4-5 hours. The desend may take slightly longer than the climb. Dinner & overnight at camp 5.
