Conquered Mt. Kinabalu
Yes!! I’ve conquered the tallest mountain in Malaysia (4th in South-East Asia), Mount Kinabalu at 4095m above sea level. It’s a tough 8.5km journey hiking up from the foothill at Kinabalu Park via Timpohon Gate to the highest point, Low’s Peak. An adventure which I’ve never prepared much physically but nonetheless made it with lots of determination and perseverance. It’s an exhausting journey but the breathtaking views were rewarding.
Anyway, a picture is worth a thousand words…

Good job. I tried to climb MK in 2006 but failed to make it to the top, will try again next April.
Well done! Me too conquered Mt Kinabalu begining of the year, but took way too long the first day to reach Laban Rata.
Will go again next year with few other friend to try conquering the peak at a shorter time!
