Kota Kinabalu Kalliokiipeily

Kaikki oli erittäin hyvin järjestettyä ja organisoitua. Aivan noudosta vaelluksen loppuun asti. Majoituspaikka Kinabalun puistossa oli fantastinen. Vaellus oli kuitenkin melko rankka, erityisesti kello 2.30 aamulla huipulle tehty osuus. Jouduimme maksamaan lisämaksua oppaalle ja kuljetuksesta takaisin majoitukseen, koska ylitimme sovitun ajan.

Thank you so much for an incredible trip up Mount Kinabalu. Doing the Walk the Torq route was easily the best part of the climb. The views were unreal and the gear felt completely secure.As a solo hiker, I felt incredibly well taken care of the entire time. A massive thank you to both of my amazing guides! My mountain guide was fantastic at pacing me to the summit, and my via ferrata guide was professional and made me feel 100% safe on the sheer rock face.I had such a memorable experience that if I have the chance to come back, I definitely want to challenge myself with the long Low's Peak Circuit next time. 💪🏻

Because the weather was good, I didn't use hiking poles at all. I honestly don't think it's a very difficult mountain to climb, though some sections require very large steps, so hiking poles would make it a bit easier. The temperature on the mountain is lower in the early morning, so remember to wear a jacket when you go up! From the summit, you can see the full view of the sacred mountain bathed in sunlight, which is incredibly beautiful. If I have the chance, I'd love to experience watching the sunrise. If needed, you can also rent wooden hiking poles at the base of the mountain for 3 Malaysian Ringgit each.
