Genting Sempah route profile


Heya folks........still feeling the KOM fever here. SO i managed to get the actual mountain profile for Genting Sempah.

The pic shows the genting sempah route that cyclist always use. The most bottom at 0KM is from the Islamic School. Even from there out actual altitude is abt 100+ meters.

The X - axis is distance and the Y- axis is altitude. Peak altitude, which is where the finish line was is at abt 600 meters. Distance is roughly25km but usually we all start counting from then Hospital Orang Asli (HOA) which is abt 7km from 0km.

Avegare gradient for genting sempah (or any hill tat u wana calculate) is : (Total Altitude Gained/ Total Distace traveled) x 100.

So GS is roughly (600m/15000m) x 100 = approx 4%.

4% is really shallow for a climb. Genting Highlands route on the other hand is about (1200/17000) x 100 = 7%. But some places it shoots to 20%......which means u go up 20 meters in 100m of distance traveled. Awesome..........
