I’m preparing to climb up to Da Feng in about 22 days time. Flight would be on the 24th December, Christmas Eve. So what do I want for Christmas? I want to come home safe and hopefully to climb to the top. I will be there for 9 days and I will be on the summit on the New Year’s Day. So here are some of the equipment that I will be bringing up on the mountain.Just finished an hour of stairs, just to get a feel of my new boots. Here, there is the La Sportiva Spantik (S$799) with shipment and all from Backcountry.com, the Black Diamond Alpine Poles from Campus Corner and the Northface Terra 65 from Perth, Australia because Singapore only sells the terra 45. The terra can be bought at Northface Shops all around Singapore or at Outdoor Life Pte Ltd at Velocity, Novena Square. La Sportiva Spantik Size 43.5.
This would be my first time climbing a snow peak. I have chosen to do this with Kim Boon and some NUS Graduates. Wish me the best of luck.
I'm an aspiring climber from the tiny island of Singapore looking constantly at different places of the world, looking for places to exploit and fill up my adventure gauge which is always hanging in the balance.
I graduated from Republic Polytechnic with a Diploma in Outdoor And Adventure Learning and I believe that I'm a true advocate of the outdoors.
The first trip that I did was to Mount Ophir, standing at 1276 metres in Johor Bahru. The feeling of being immersed within nature and actually climbing to the top was just rejuvenating. From then since, I've climbed a total of 41 mountains around the world, highest being Mount Everest South Summit at 8700m and two 7000m peaks called Lenin Peak and Peak Korzhenescaya.
Currently, I'm managing sales and marketing at a rock-climbing company and forming my own adventure company, JTrace, focusing on adventure trips consultation, training clients for their own Everest, corporate team building, inspirational speaking sessions and brand ambassadorship.
