My reason to go there: I heard about the scenic view from Gunung Suku, I wanna see it for myself and photograph it.

10 of us took on Gunung Suku(1796M ASL) last weekend(22-23rd Sept 07), approx. 4 hours hike up inclusive of 1 hour break was nice and quick hike to a cooling campsite at the false peak of Gunung Suku(1745M).
A quick 7-10 minutes hike from the campsite brought us to the summit of Gunung Suku the next morning.
We had clear sky that morning, visibility was very good, therefore the sight of the surrounding mountains like Gunung Suku, Irau, Brinchang, Chabang, 6850, Korbu, Gayong, Yong Yap, Yong Blar were all clearly visible.
