Buy Cocaine Tioman Island

One would think that there would be not much to do but laze around in tropical paradise but you would be surprised at high levels of activity that can be accomplished in redolent looking beach havens. But yes that too. We spent the first couple of days doing nothing but plucking rambutan fruit fresh off the tree and gorging on them while lazily flopping around its many alluring beaches. It is the perfect vacation getaway to simply unwind. Depending on your budget and need for seclusion you can hop off at different drop off points the ferry stops at at the island. The island is home to eight villages spread across its coastline that you can choose from. You can catch the ferry run by Bluewater Express at Mersing, on the east coast of the mainland which is the jumping off point to reach Tioman. There are several bus connections from Kuala Lumpur and elsewhere to this otherwise nondescript town. There are three ferry services everyday in either direction from Mersing to Tioman and back. Tioman is known for its white coral reefs and falls in the confines of Mersing Marine Park. Its beauty is also to do with its abundant natural forest cover. The village itself is also not as commercial as the nearby Kampung Tekek. Kampung Tekek not only has the only air strip in all of Tioman but also has a large jetty to accommodate boats and yachts. With all the commercialization and development, the village of Tekek is less pretty than rest of the island. But being a short 30 minute walk away from Air Batang it does have some advantages. Penny pinchers usually trudge from Air Batang to Tekek to buy cheap alcohol some beer cans are priced at less than a dollar or 2. Also, you can trek through jungle from one side of the island starting in Tekek to the other ending in Juara on the east coast of the island. The 7km trail follows the the thick black cables of the power lines running through the island. Follow the power lines and you wont get lost. Alternately, a paved road runs between Tekek and Juara. You can hitch a lift most times with four wheel drives for a nominal price. Juara itself is more secluded than anywhere else on the island. People live in extraordinarily simple huts all along the coast line. Apart from almost abandoned pristine azure blue beaches, it is also home to a turtle conservation project. We used a 4 wheel drive one way and hiked the route on our way back from Juara to Air Batang via Tekek. In between the two villages,, we stopped at a very pretty waterfall. A cushioned trail made of abandoned tires leads you straight to it from the road that runs between the two sides of the island. For more golden sands, one can trek from Air Batang to Monkey Bay. And the name is no misnomer. You can almost always find a gaggle of unruly monkeys here. From here you can continue onwards to the village of Salang. Salang is the go to for most snorkeling and diving trips. You can also shop around for better prices. There are plenty of tour operators sprinkled around the island. The boats usually stop off at tinier nearby uninhabited islands. The one we stopped at had a crystal clear sky blue lagoon. The warm sea and cool breezes make you want to float on your back contemplating the beauty of the world but after a good half hour we decided to explore the island itself. We found a barely used staircase through thick jungle that allowed us access after a 40 minute trek up to a research station of sorts on top. After, we snorkeled around other tiny islands, sometimes snorkeling all the way around them spotting all manner of colorful fish and sea creatures. We even managed to spot a black tip reef shark and a school of sting ray. After a full day of activity, we headed back from near Salang where the tour also stops for lunch back to Air Batang by the motor boat we had come on. Back in Air Batang, even as we got off the boat we got invited to an impromptu cook out that almost everyone got invited to. Passersby are usually hailed to sample barbecued fish that you can catch and cook to kick off a random island party. Skip to content Home About. Feature image- Tioman island.

How Climbing Saved Cedar Wright and Lucho Rivera From Their Downward Spirals

Follow friends and authors, share adventures, and get outside. The rope arches in an unbroken loop from me to Lucho, 30 feet above. Now, the good times are on hold. With accelerating gasps and groans, Lucho weasels in a small RP behind a suspect flake. He hurriedly clips a draw to it, gives it a tug, and promptly rips it right out. Lucho grew up in a rough neighborhood in the concrete jungle of the Mission District in San Francisco, and by age 11 had joined a gang. He had gone with his crew to face off against a rival gang. We all just started running. One dude got hit in the back. We dragged him into our car and blew every red light to the hospital. I can hear the scratch of his fingernails against granite as he puts the death grip on a micro-crimper. When I was young, things were fine— great, in fact. I was a lucky, happy kid. But somewhere along the pathway to adulthood, I got lost. In high school, I buddied up to the cool kids, who reluctantly allowed me to hang around, though I felt more comfortable reading comics and playing Dungeons and Dragons with the geeks in the library. I was caught between worlds: too cool for one club and not cool enough for the other. I had no rudder, and I drifted to drugs. I still vividly recall one low point: A mysterious smoke filled my year-old lungs. For a moment I was indestructible; then I was a ghost. I watched my body fall backward into the street. My head made a loud thwackkk as it bounced off the blacktop. I awoke to the sound of a car horn, and sat up face-to-face with blinding headlights. After high school, things got worse. Without my geek friends to bring me back to Earth, I floated away completely. I remember one evening watching a mob of drunken partygoers tip a car up on its side. This was not an isolated event. I became more morose and isolated. One morning I woke up covered in vomit in a ditch outside a frat house with no idea how I got there. By the first semester of my second year, the Feds were digging in my dumpster, and my breakfast came out of a blotter. After a particularly bad trip that left me bedridden for several days, I slipped into a dangerous depression. Having hit rock bottom in Chico, I managed to start a slow climb out of the darkness. I cleaned up my act, quit everything, even coffee, and transferred to Humboldt State. Walking Moonstone Beach one day, out on the mythical Lost Coast, I saw climbers dangling from the beach cliffs. From my first climb, I was hooked. I spent my money on ropes and gear instead of bags and bongs. I climbed every day. I climbed in the blazing sun, and I climbed in the rain. Soon after, I met the hardman Sean Leary, and I received a sandbag crash course in runouts, free soloing, and bolting from hooks. For the little bit of cash I needed, I began working as an outdoor educator, sharing the passion that had saved my life. And why not? I was living proof that life on the rock was powerful therapy. I recognized myself in many of the kids: the insecurity, the aimlessness, the hidden potential. And I saw it work: The physical exercise, the teamwork, the beauty, and the separation from the influences of their daily life worked their magic on at least a few kids every trip. I pushed through the grades and honed my crack climbing skills, in J-Tree in winter and Yosemite spring, summer, and fall. By my third year of full-time dirtbagging, I moved from outdoor educator to a spot on Yosemite Search and Rescue. In my eyes, these athletes were truly living the dream, a dream that soon became my own: to become a jet-set sponsored rock climber. A few speed-climbing exploits with Ammon McNeely and Chris McNamara put my foot in the door, and with a bit of luck and unadulterated desire, I started to pick up my first sponsors. Spasmodically, he pushes the hook far above his head. It latches something unseen. Lucho eases, hyperventilating and wide-eyed, onto the blind placement. A half hour later he slumps with infinite relief onto a bolt. A school counselor suggested a program called Urban Pioneers, which gave kids school credits for a mix of classes and wilderness experience. Lucho was dubious, but felt he had no other option than a dead-end on the street. Soon after joining, he was taken on a two-week backpacking trip into the Sierra. Every day on the trip, when we got in to camp, I wanted to explore. Everyone had some piece of equipment that we needed for the trip to function. After that outing, Lucho and a couple friends from the trip returned several times to explore further into the Sierra. The small posse of ex-gangsters was quite the sight. The world had expanded for Lucho, and he was getting the same good tidings from the mountains that John Muir had gotten when he ventured out of the Bay and into the Sierra so many years before. Lucho discretely tapered off his gang activities, and finally the crew approached him. But Lucho just wanted to be free. All that desperation came out in a flurry of fists. Unlike most of his friends, Lucho graduated from high school. Several of the employees were climbers, and they gave Lucho his first taste of rock, on Bay Area crags. He has done some badass shit. After the show, Lucho raised his hand and urgently asked Bridwell how he managed to defy the regulations and live in Yosemite full-time. We just stayed. I met him in the parking lot of Camp 4 three weeks after Bridwell inspired him to quit his job and move into his truck in the Valley. Though Lucho was a wide-eyed newbie, I was looking for someone—anyone—to help me out on my Gravity Ceiling project, a huge roof I wanted to free climb, many pitches up, near the top of Higher Cathedral Rock. I heard Lucho might be game. In the year I met him, he went from epics on 5. I established new routes around the world, fell in love, became a writer and filmmaker, and basically woke up feeling like a lucky bastard every day. Lucho, meanwhile, continued to live the dirtbag dream, hanging tough in Yosemite, free climbing El Capitan, putting up obscure new routes, and only working as much as he absolutely had to. We kept in touch, and I think we were both a little envious of each other. Fast-forward to An old college friend from Humboldt, Bennett Barthelemy, invited me to participate in a Big City Mountaineers fund-raising program called Summit for Someone. Bennett and I planned to put together a custom trip, using our industry connections and media savvy to raise a nice chunk of cash. My buddy Scotty Nelson had made the first ascent of the south tower. The project quickly built momentum. But then, last minute, Bennett had to back out. I scrambled to find a replacement. I thought of Lucho. He had just finished a proud 5. He was in the best shape of his life—psyched, but broke. With my end of the trip fully funded, I figured we could work that out. Lucho had never been overseas. Our arrival on Tioman Island was surreal and abrupt. The jungle felt… pissed off. Every plant had a thorn on it, and we were thankful for our leather gloves. Huge ants swarmed everywhere. Some mystery bug was emitting a continuous, deafening shriek like a car alarm. I was immediately on edge. During our journey to Malaysia, Lucho, the ex—street thug, had confessed that he was deeply afraid of snakes. And bugs. He had not been exaggerating. At every turn, he screamed and jumped at some real or imaginary critter. For me, the humidity and heat were the bigger battle. Sweat stung my eyes. My glasses fogged up. It was like hiking in a sauna. We could see huge sea birds playing in the thermals far above. Realizing we might actually get to climb, I was overcome by summit fever and began forging ahead through the jungle. Suddenly, something that sounded like a hummingbird buzzed by my ear. More buzzing ensued, and then I felt a sharp, stabbing pain in my side, then another in my leg. I scrambled madly through the vegetation, reduced to a frantic, screaming kid. I reached back to a burning spot on my shoulder and snagged a huge, writhing object between my fingers. It was a hornet, but larger than my thumb, with wild orange stripes across its pulsating abdomen. It squirmed as it tried to maneuver its stinger for another attack. Thirty yards of frantic thrashing later, vibrating and hyperventilating, I was out of the swarm. A mix of poison and adrenaline surged through my body. Lucho had screamed and run in the opposite direction, beating a long retreat into the jungle. Between us, dozens of pissed off mega-wasps divebombed their territory. I lifted my shirt to reveal a huge red-and-blue welt. Once we roped up, one pleasant surprise followed the next. The rock was bulletproof granite, with wild flake, knob, and pocket features, plus incipient cracks for protection. I tried to ignore the throbbing pains that were radiating from the stings while Lucho stretched out a sixth pitch and set up a belay under an overhang just as a bone-shaking crack of thunder announced a sudden downpour. The rain actually offered respite from the heat, and the stone was gritty enough to climb when wet. I found Lucho soaked but psyched at the belay. As quickly as the rain had come, it went, and by the time I led the seventh pitch the sun had dried me out. My hornet stings began to throb as I belayed Lucho up. Then the clouds blew back in while Lucho led the eighth, and crux, pitch, with a hard 5. Wild cloud-to-cloud lightning began to flash around us, and another downpour hit as I started following the pitch. Was it possible to get struck by cloud lightning? By the time I reached the crux, a waterfall covered it. Facing a nasty pendulum, I held my breath, submerged, and somehow stuck to the crimpers that led to the other side of the cascade. Past the hardest climbing now, we simul-climbed to the end of the rock. The rain subsided, and another few hundred feet of bushwhacking took us to the summit. We climbed a spindly tree to get a view. The swirling clouds were on fire with oranges and reds, and we could see far into the interior of the island, where more wild towers protruded from green ridges, too far into the jungle to probably ever be climbed. The idea of rappelling at night into the hornet-ridden jungle seemed less than awesome, so we open bivied on the summit. We awoke in the middle of the night and noticed that our bed of leaves was glowing, covered in a phosphorescent mold. At around two in the morning, a new display of lightning convinced us to head down. All I could think about was hornets. But we made it down the wall and through the jungle without incident, and retired to our bungalow on the beach to enjoy a couple of rest days. After completing the North Horn, we began scoping the south tower from various angles, consulting our notes to figure out where the three existing routes went. Eventually we realized that arguably the most beautiful line, an impressive Nose-like buttress, was unclimbed. After three days of work, using fixed ropes to regain our high point each day, we were nearing the top on our South Horn dream route when Lucho ripped his hook and yet somehow managed to stay on the rock. A few days later we completed our new route to the top. During our forays we had freed every pitch, but the in-a-push free ascent remained. The monsoon was now upon us, and the weather socked in for several days. Lucho made earnest prayers to the mountain to allow us one last moment of passage. Just before a month of nonstop fog and rain, we were granted a five-hour window of dry-ish weather, allowing us, just barely, to complete a free climb to the summit. We stood smiling on top of Tioman Island, looking out over the South China Sea, with a mass of clouds and lightning quickly approaching. We let it all sink in: the surreal setting, the incredible climbs we had established, the many mishaps and mistakes in our pasts—all had somehow led to this moment. Complications of modern life fade away. We are revealed to be fragile animals, in a beautiful and mysterious landscape. Climbing is dangerous, but for Lucho and me the alternative was infinitely more perilous. Climbing had saved our lives. A hard day out followed by a night under the Milky Way was our therapy.
