Mount Kinabalu 'Dare To Hike'






well...everyone who knows me knows...i have one passion,climbing mt.kinabalu.since 2003,MK (mount kinabalu) has been like my second home. times and times been climbing it,organizing climbing trip for others, being a guide to others;including foreigners from Australia,France,Japan,Taiwan,USA,Indonesia,Singapore ..etc..
what is it with this passion of climbing MK? what does make this mountain better (or in other word THE BEST!) compared to other mountains around Asean?
1. it is easy to climb (or is it?)- climber friendly mountain? :)
2. it has one of the most beautiful vegetation around it.
3. tipping the summit (Low's Peak at 4095.2m) around 6 am would make u a better person? (hahaha..by gazing at the sunrise?) :)
4. it delivers one of the most spectacular view of BOrneo!! (this i have to agree the most!)
5. the weather is unpredictable; at one point it could be as high as 10 degree Celcius,as low as 0 degree celcius (and this is in Asean!)
6. it doesn't need any expensive gears to wear/climb ..(as the fees to climb is already sky high!)
7. the 7 summits on the top of the mountain have it's own stories..faces,tales, and shapes...
