⛰️ Mount Kinabalu Adventures: Part 2

#wecreate

🚶‍♀️Mt Kinabalu is one of the highest mountains in South East Asia. It is a 2D1N hike which requires high stamina and proper training before you attempt to conquer the mountain.

🌄 Day 2 of my climb started at 2am, with a light breakfast consisting of toast & eggs. The entire hike up was in the dark, accompanied by your torchlight.
If you turn around and look back, you will get an awesome view of A Sky Full of Stars (literally) and the far away glow of city lights.

03:00 - Started the 2nd half from Laban Rata Camp (KM6.0)
05:00 - Reached Sayat-sayat checkpoint (KM7.0).
08:00 - Low's Peak! (Summit 4095M)

Summit was beautiful and the views were breathtaking! My only regret is not being well equipped with proper attire to withstand the strong winds and cold temperature. 🥶

💡 For those who are afraid of heights, it's better to get yourself mentally prepared before you attempt this part of the hike. Also, keep in mind that it is a relatively safe hike, but there is only a single white rope to guide you up the rocky surfaces with no extra safety harness.

Be prepared to be challenged mentally and physically. Also, you will need a thick jacket, and perhaps a pair of Kampung Adidas 😆
