we completed [the pink route, distance 9.5km, approx walking time 4-5 hours, trail grade difficult ==> H A B C E F I Bukit Timah Nature Reserve] in less than 3 hours (0850-1128)... then we continued to 'up' bt timah hill

we 'up' bt timah hill via the green route?... instead of coming out to the main route (red) at the simpang hut, we came out at the keruing hut... so i guess to be exact, we 'up' bt timah hill via one third green route and two third red route?...
