Climbing Gunung Korbu: The young G. Ganalingam (second from the left) and Yusuf (fourth from left) are seen in this 1964 photo. The peak at the back is the summit of Gunung Korbu.

FORMER jetsetter Yusuf Hashim thinks that it was at the Royal Military College (1962 to 1965), his alma mater, that he imbibed a love for adventure and the outdoors.

He did not think himself “tough nor brilliant” when he gained acceptance into the college.
