At The Top Of South East Asia! Mt Kinabalu - Sabah
... enough air in, as I was panting instead of breathing deeply, so began a mantra “ breathe, breathe…” Climbing Mt. Kinabalu has been a challenge I have had in the back of my mind for around 15 years. I read a story about a ...

Veni, Vidi, Vici!
Time to do some exercise then..! It turns out that I'd booked the deluxe package for climbing Kinabalu (sounds like I got a good price for it though so was actually quite looking forward to it) - 3 days 2 nights, one night of which was spent at Mesilau ...
Timpohon Gate to Laban Rata
Another leisurely breakfast bird spotting before we went to meet our guide Sepenas. I was very careful how I pronounced this name! He was a great guide and had climbed the mountain over 1000 times, taken part in the summit race a number of times, first ...

Disappointing Day
We got up nice and early to get a bus to Mount Kinabalu National Park, where we wanted to have a look around and go for a bit of a walk on some of the tracks. About a dozen of us crammed into a van, and we were on our way. Just over an hour later the van ...
The Conquering of Mt. Kinabalu
At 4:30 am yesterday morning, weary and tired from lack of sleep and 8.7 Kilometers of climbing, I made the summit at Low's Peak (4095 meters). It was still dark outside. As the sun began to rise, about a dozen more climbers joined me at the top of ...

Rest and relaxation, or so Erica thought!
Erica wanted a day of rest before the big hike. I went for a little scout early on looking for birds but not too much success. We had tickets for the buffet breakfast, we had a nice leisurely breakfast, not because the food was any good, but because we ...
Borneo Part 1 - THE MOUNTAIN
... for the rest of the climb. Luckily we had full waterproofs with us, so we climbed in those. There are a lot of steps on Mt Kinabalu - I'm not sure if anyone's counted them, but they might like to know there are definitely more on the way down than there ...

Mt Kinabalu
Having recently reached Makalu base camp in Nepal, we were in the mood to conquer more mountains. So Mt Kinabalu at 4100metres, dubbed as one the easiest mountain in the world to climb, beckoned. Unfortunately that's all it did. We arrived at the ...
Oh, our aching knees!!

Poring hot springs
Today was busy. I felt so tired at the end of it, not from doing lots of travelling, but because we saw so much in a single day. We first drove to Poring hot Springs, as well as the thermal springs and rather worn looking manmade pools that the water ...
Climbing Mt Kinabalu
... it felt rude not to. The whole reason for the detour to Malaysian Borneo in the first place was to climb the mountain. Mount Kinabalu is the highest mountain in South East Asia. It's highest peak is Low's Peak (named after some English guy) and rises ...

Climbing Mt Kinabalu
Carmen's climb: It was hell. Pete's climb: I've wanted to climb Mt Kinabalu for a while, we'd actually been to see the mountain back in 2007 but didn't plan enough time to actually do it. I have to admit that I was a little surprised when Carmen ...
Mountain Climbing
Early breakfast and pickup for transfer to Mt Kinabalu. Took about 1.5hrs to get to the park where we registered for our climb and met our quietly spoken mtn guide. He even portered our gear we didn't need in our day pack. Then it was a short trip to the ...
Turning Blue on Kinabalu
... day. The three of us sat in a tub full of sulfurous hot water piped from deep underground and came to the same conclusion about Mt. Kinabalu. It was well worth the hike to the top, but we would never, ever do it again. After adding up our total climbing ...
and up...and up...
We did it! Made it all the way to the top of the Mt Kinabalu, our last big hike of the trip. Mt Kinabalu is the highest Mt in Southeast Asia, and it's apparently one of the "easiest" mountains to climb in the world. I guess compared to Everest...but ...
Mt Kinabalu
Weeral één van de hoogtepunten van deze reis, de beklimming van mt Kinabalu. Met haar 4000m is het geen al te hoge berg, dus op 2 dagen is dit zeker te doen! Met heel veel geluk kan ik nog een permit bemachtigen en nog op het laatste nippertje aan de ...
