This time I want to share my experience of climbing Mount Kinabalu from climbing to descending to the foot of the mountain. I must say that it was a very amazing & wonderful experience in my entire life. Something that I will never forget for the rest of my life.....
Well. Let's start.
First day (23 September 2017)
As early as 6.00 am we arrived at Kinabalu Park. I was most excited. I saw that the registration counter didn't seem to be open yet. So, while waiting for the counter to open and also waiting for the arrival of other climbing groups, I got ready first. Put on shoes, a jacket and double check the climbing needs/equipment. Where or if I forgot.
After opening the counter, we registered. The counter person said that if you don't get a name tag, it means there is a problem and you may not be able to climb. Luckily, the registration process for our group was all smooth. Clean and clear. So, make sure the person who manages your climb is experienced and efficient from A to Z. Then, we had a quick breakfast first to gain energy. By the way, breakfast is provided by the party there.
After that, from the Kinabalu Park registration booth, we all went to Timpohon Gate. There are two ways, either use the provided bus or your own car. If you use the bus, you have to pay RM9.00/person.
