Pacat means leech but fortunately there didn't seem to be any leeches around this time - no doubt it depends on the season. Camp Pacat consists of a shabby bamboo shack and an open area where people could pitch tents. Another sign pointed the way to the next stop, Camp Pengasih, another 1.2km away. The sign said this stage should take 40 minutes but it took me 80 minutes. The path here was even steeper and in places uprooted trees had gouged great holes in the trail which had to be scaled by pulling on tree roots and branches. In one or two places there were breaks in the vegetation and you could get an encouraging view perhaps indicating that the summit must be near.
We didn't reach Puncak Gunung because of the weather. During our climbing day, it was rainy day. The coach said very dangerous if we continue climbing to peak.
