Another Mountain Challenge in 16 days

The heart is pounding quickier as D-day draws near. On 27th April, I will be with 8 others starting our journey to the foot of mount Kinabalu. Exciting as ever, I really need to prepare well for this second time ascend. This time, I will be staying overnight at the foot of the mountain preparing my thought well before early morning rise up to the mountain @ 6.30am. I have aimed to reach there by 1.30pm latest, which 2.5 hours quickier than last year (smile on my face).

I will have nice resting time till the next morning where we will start from Laban Rata at 2a.m. The trail to summit, I do not know how long I will take as the last round, I stop few tens meter after the first rope climbing when the rains starts pouring down. I guess, I will take 5 hours to reach the summit.

One of the important factors is not to have rain ! Please....tiredness and suffering, I will strive to endure not matter what...but facing the nature's waters, it is just too much for me to take with strong wind blowing and the wet dangerous path to climb through...

Well, I will leave this to the Almighty whilst I care for my mental and physical.

See me at the TOP ! ok!
