Final Destination: The peak of SEA region.
Its sometime early of May 2005.
One brave soul (Steve) flew all the way from London, one daredevil (Dolly) from KL, 5 outdoor trekkers from Penang. The remaining 3 local boys joined in the fun to conquer Mt.Kinabalu... 4,095m.
Thank God we are now near 1,800m at the Timpohon Gate, so only left 2,295m to go... which is not too bad. However, I had to leave Kit at home who was pregnant with Amber for which I needed to make sure I get home not wrapped inside a bodybag.
Teik Wong, me and Chris Emin, taking a photo-break and enjoying the serene surrounding.
This is a shot half-way up the mountain, at Laban Rata which is 3,300 metres up. All of us look good and set to conquer the summit, after almost 6 wet hours from the Kinabalu Park HQ the previous day. Unfortunately for Steve, Dolly, Chris and myself - we decided to take a 'short' break at the Sayat Sayat Hut. It was so comfortable that we decided to 'warm' our butts and eventually declined to move up any further. The rest made it to the summit except for Cindy who slept in the dorm.... Good for her!
