Sungei Asa falls, Pulau Tioman

Lower falls

Upper falls, partial
(it curves and has three or more ledges)

I climbed the falls, slowly and carefully, due to a loose knee from the hikes with the insect teams earlier. When the freshwater team I was with went down to study the lower reaches, I climbed the second upper falls to look for that slow mowing part of the stream I remembered from years ago. I kept going until the stream disappeared under the rocks and realised it was time to head back. It was a short, tiring, reminiscent and exhilarating walk!

I hung a camera around my neck and will post a clip here later to see how that turned out. Giddy stuff as the camera swung around a bit.
