Pictured are the Dutch couple, part of the group I hooked up with to share a guide to the top! |
|
On the first day there was pretty good visibility, so we where hoping that our weather on the summit would have been one of the one in ten days that has a clear view... |
|
It's such an established climb that most of the path has steps... doesn't help the knees any though! |
|
On the first day you climb to the hostel at the base camp, up above the clouds! |
|
It was supposed to take 5 hours, I got there in 3! |

This is our group at 5am waiting a warming sunrise, which due to the cloud cover was never to come! |

This is how the cloud looks! - Mount Kinabalu |
|
Cloud so thick the photo didn't come out! |
|
Me at the peak sign! |
|
Me at the peak sign take two! |
| ||
|
Notice all the fleeces, hats, gloves, blankets, I had one jumper, and a rain mac on, oh and socks on my hands for gloves! |
|
These people and the signs were only 6 foot in front of me! |
|
|
The guy had to do it again as there was a cloud in the way! |
|
Just to prove I got there...! |
