Perlawanan sedang berlangsung 16 Mount Kinabalu Expedition

n 19 April 2010, four staff from Group Internal Audit, Boustead Holdings Berhad & five staff from Boustead ORimba Nilai Sdn. Bhd. gathered at Kinabalu Park on their mission to conquer Mount Kinabalu, the tallest mountain in Southeast Asia which is 4,095.2m above sea level.

We started our climb at around 8.30am the next morning from Timpohon Gate (1,866m above sea level). It was a 6km trail to the next checkpoint at Laban Rata. The first 4km went quite well for us, but the hardest part was yet to come. The last 2km was very steep and strenuous, but doable. Breathing became much more difficult at high altitude, which made it even harder. We managed to get to Laban Rata (3,300m above sea level) after a total of 4½ hours climb. The trail was quite good, mostly through jungle with little in the way of view and often on steps made of wood or carved into the rock. So, you have to watch your steps carefully.

We rested at Laban Rata prior to continuing our climb to reach the Kinabalu Peak. The temperature was below 10°C and most of us did not manage to get any sleep despite the Before the final ascent at 2.30am very long hours of climbing. To complete our mission, we had to climb another 2.7km to the summit.

The second day climb started at 2.30am and it was very dark, with torchlights and ropes to guide us up to the summit. After hours of climbing in the dark, we reached the final checkpoint and continued climbing over bare granite slabs that stretched endlessly ahead. At around 5am to 6am, we reached the summit of Low’s Peak (altitude of 4,095m above sea level), which is the highest point of Mount Kinabalu. It was bitterly cold at the top as dawn gradually crept over the horizon, illuminating the darkness with the light of a new day. The climb was Iskandar & Faren during the descent worth it!
