mount kinabalu, borneo, a rough guide

Mount Kinabalu is found in sabah, borneo, part of malaysia. It is the highest Mountain in South East Asia at 4095 Metres (13,435 feet). It is a tough climb and harsh on the knees but worth it. It takes two days to climb but most of that is spent resting at a cabin half way up. Actual climbing time is around 11 hours (from base to summit and back). Go to poring hot springs afterwards to relax those aching muscles and get a stick at the top of Kinabalu, to help you descend without killing your knees for weeks!! You can buy clothing at the markets in sandakan or in kota kinabalu. gloves recommended plus at least 2-3 layers and a waterproof plus hat and gloves. take a head-torch too. Weather conditions are very variable but its worth the climb when you get to he top!

[phillips78]

sorry to hear that :( don't worry too much though, if its dark you can't see anything from the top anyway. Hope you got to relax in the hot springs just down the road afterwards:)

Very easy climb

Kara: I wouldn't call it "easy" unless you are a marathon runner or a professional athlete.
