Mount Kinabalu ~ Info, Tips & Tale

A few of my friends have been asking about my Gunung Kinabalu experience. As much as I am lazy to update this blog, I think it might be beneficial if I record the details here. In case anyone asks me again... I can refer back to this post or link it to them... Ha... bijak!
 

Alamak... where do I begin?
General:
  • The mountain top is known as Low's Peak. Don't get misdirected with the word "LOW"... it's definitely not Low ok :))
  • The (normal) package takes 2 days. You will stay one night at 6km (Laban Rata) before proceeding to the top next morning. Sleep at 8pm. Start hiking to the top at 2.00 - 2.30 am.... this is so that we can reach the top before/on sunrise.
  • They have 1 day climb kinda thing.... but usually on Climbathon, or on special request/package.(not sure... please check) :P
  • Each groups will be assigned with guides/porters. the larger the group, the more guides u'll be assigned to.
  • Althugh u come in a group, u dont have to move as one big group all the time. U will move in a smaller groups as u climb, following ur own speed.... The guide/s will follow the last batch/person in ur group to make sure no one is left behind.
  • They also sell sticks to help with ur climb... cost around rm3-4 per stick.
  • There is a resting hut / Pondok for each 1km. they come with Toilets, water supply + resting place. So worry not...
The Route:
  • The track to mountain Top = 8.7km (elevation = 4095 metres)
    Timpohon Gate to Laban Rata = 6km +  Laban Rata to Low's Peak (the top) = 2.7km
  • However, there are 2 starting points for the climb
      1] Timpohon Gate
      2] Mesilau Nature Resort
  • These two routes will meet at the KM4 (kilometre 4) of Timpohon Route and KM5.7of Mesilau Route
    Which means, you have nearly 2km extra distance coming from Mesilau track, but once u reach meeting point of these 2 routes, the track uses the Timpohon's distance. Thus 5.7km= back to 4km :P
  • The starting point at Mesilau is at higher ground compared to Timpohon, so the beginning of the climb will be more "decent" compared to Timpohon which is steep right from the beginning. However, since mesilau route crosses ridge bla bla... its longer and this is challenging too. 2km difference in "hilly" route is a biggg difference ok. So both got pros n cons la.
  • Timpohon - shorter... but steep from the beginning. Can be hard for those have insufficient training on stairs/steps.
  • Mesilau - longer, easy for the start but gets harder because of the distance. But it has beautiful sceneries along the way compared to Timpohon.

 
Lodging:
  • Which ever Route u use.... u will come up to Laban Rata...
  • U can choose whether u want to include food(buffet) in your package. My advise: Yes, please do! The buffet is good and u really need lotsa energy ;-) and u dont have to think about the arrangement.
    They cover lunch (first day climb) + dinner at laban rata + early breakfast (2am) + breakfast (8-10am) + lunch at Kinabalu Park (after climbing down)
  • There are 2 lodges:
    1.. Laban Rata - this is the main building. Reception + Food. They have rooms here... more expensive. + point: U dont have to move up and down for food :P
    2.. Gunting Lagadan - this is 100m from main building. 100m becomes a fear-factor issue because of its steep n stairs all the way up/down. + point:: Cheaper and the gate to proceed to Low's Peak is at gunting lagadan. So at 2.00am... u save 100m climb, and it meansss a load!! And you can arrange your makan-time wisely so that you don't have to climb up+down so much. Skip the 2am breakfast (eat somthing u tapau / somthing light like biscuits etc) so that u dont have to go back to laban rata lodge and climb all the way up again --> horror man. Oh yap, we stayed in Gunting Lagadan + we did skip that breakfast.
  • Buffet-dinner is available from 5pm-7pm. So make sure you reach before buffet ends.
  • Water heater works until 7pm... if u need shower, u need hot shower....so again make sure on time ;-)
  • by 8pm... everyone is required to sleeeeeep.....
  *We started our climb at 8.20am and we reached Laban Rata at 1pm. So we had time to kill and enjoy the view and take lotsa lotsa fotos....
 
 
Laban rata

killing time :P
gunting lagadan
 

Once u made ur mind... on the package.... and preparing for the expidition. Some things u need to prepare or keep in mind:
 
 
BAGS / Loads:
  • Carry your own bags only if you think you are fit enough
  • If you are not so fit... and u insist on carrying ur own bags... of course, u can still make it to laban rata... but quite tiring n u will be very2 sloww.... u must remember laban rata is not ur ultimate goal, u have another climb the next morning... very early in the morning... so safe as much energy as u can.
  • if u are a pro... then u can carry as many bags as u want... even ur frens' bags n charge them .. haha
  • Here's an important Note: You can pass your loads/bags to your porters. They will charge u according to weights... Price changes from time to time... but roughly RM 4-5 per kg.
  • What to pass to porters (i.e of my suggestions la):
     ..cloths (especially the thick ones) - sweater jackets, gloves, etc
     ..headlamp
     ..extra munchies (power bar, biscuits etc)
     ..extra slippers/shoes if u bring any
     ..extra drinks (i.e Gatorade / 100 plus)
     ..toiletries etc
  • What i suggest u should bring along in a smaller bagpack:
      ..ur own version of first aid kit - muscle pain creame/plaster, minyak angin cap kapak etc
      ..food - somthing simple... if u take package with food, they will suply lunchbox
      ..powerbars/ powergel
      ..towel/face towel (optional)
      ..raincoat (the disposable one is light)
      ..personal belongings (wallet/hp/passport etc)
      ..camera.... hahha..... wajib :))
      ..drinks - 500ml mineral water +/ 100plus/gatorade (depend on ur level of consumption)
  • If your water supply finishes, u can get em at the resting hut (pondok)... direct water supply... safe but not guaranteed everyone can take it. Some got diarrhea... some have no prob at all :P

  • Once u reach Laban Rata / Gunting Lagadan, rearrange ur bags after retrieving it from ur porter... u need different set of things/attire for the next climb
  • The next morning.... get into ur "i'm-afraid-i-might-get-frostbite" uniforms... 

to the MOUNTAIN TOP:
  • you will start the climb at 2.30am ... will be very dark.. =  headlamp !
  • it's cold... different people have different ways to adapt to temperature change. to be safe... prepare for the worst. bring along ur first aid kit thingy... and wear warm clothings (i.e extra layer of tshirts/pants if u must)... sweater.
  • and ur climb involves a lot of rope use.... = gloves !



Climbing Down:
  • again.... u can pass ur bags to the porter...so u can put all ur heavy-stuff back in there hehe
  • if u want to be extra cautious... in case u have problems with your toes/ toenails... bring along a good sandals/slippers... u can replace ur hiking shoes with it once in a while / througout. If u comfortable in hiking shoes... dats the best lar.
  • use knee-wrap... helps a lot
  • and the stick if u bought one before climbing. helps a lot to support ur knees n footing.

I'm not sure what else to jot... Hmmm.... I'll update if there are more tips... or maybe I'll just leave it to you to make further research on do's/donts... ;-)
OK now....

PRACTISE:
  1. It is a physical challenge... but it doesnt solely rely on ur physical condition... You must be mentally prepared too... especially for first timers.
  2. Practise! U need them. But do not push too hard on yourself. Start with jogs, then hills and nearest mountain if available :P
  3. Some say it wont be worth if you go to another mountain just to train for kinabalu i.e going to gunung tahan... coz it shoiuld be an expidition of its own. I guess its not the matter of how high is the hill/mountain but how often u practice.
    i.e. I dint do mountains.. just hills, with Bt.Bendera being the highest. For Kinabalu, Bt.Bendera + Bt.Jambul is a very good place to start... coz it has stairs + steps just like in Kinabalu (except that Kinabalu's steps are steeper laa) hehe..
  4. People have different opinions on practise and how much u need to be prepared for this. One pakcik told me... its up to yourself... you can go with the most minimal practise... but you will struggle along the way. If you want to enjoy the climb, then "bersusah2 dahulu, bersenang2 kemudian".
  5. U need to also focus on climbing down... whenever u go hiking.. make sure u hike down as well and never resort to other alternatives.
    but just in case.... If u have serious cramps/ injuries that make it impossible for u to climb down back to mesilau/ timpohon, the porters can carry you (im not kidding) and it costs around rm200 per kilometre.
  6. According to kinabalu folklore, Some active people with very good stamina are said to be stuck in Laban Rata... gone flat after reaching laban rata, unable to proceed to the top the next morning.
  7. Kinabaly folklore also reports... Some with asthma and heart problems are able to reach the top. The remedy? Keep moving on... even if you are slow, dont stop too long at one stop... just keep on moving forward.
  8. Age doesnt matter, even those in their 60's can make it.
  9. What does it say?....as much as ur physical condition matters... when it comes to moving ur mucles to take another step forward....   it's all in the mind....
Last but not least... My very own tale:
Despite having uncertainties n goosebumps, it was a fairly a good climb. The wheather was good, no... better.. it was great. We didnt stop too long at one station, and we reached laban rata quite early :)

Then jeng jeng jeng....
I got sick right after my dinner. My temperature increased and I was getting fever. It was really sudden and shocking all the same, coz I was perfectly ok before that. Zue gave me Panadol ActivFast... and to my relieve it worked. Headache seemed to ooze, and I felt better. Just when I thought I could finally relax n go to sleep, I started to have difficulties in breathing. I had blocked nose, both nasal passages affected. I couldnt lie down, because once I do so, I couldnt breathe properly, had to breathe through my mouth. How was I supposed to sleep if I couldnt lie down? My difficulties in breathing was somehow disturbing my fellow roomates to sleep... Kak Ilah tried helping me by her newly found method of pasting koyok on my nose... It kinda worked for a minute or so... but still I couldnt breathe well.
I imagined the all the worst thing that could happen...
But.... I came all the way... not to be stuck in Laban Rata with blocked nose!  :(
Even if I had to stay awake all night (since I can't lie down)... I planned to go on with my climb next morning! I was determined. Even if it took 5 hours to reach the top, I told myself I will go for it. 

While I was fighting with my voice-overs... I remembered this traditional method of using Vicks to ease blocked nose. went to the pantry room (the only room with lights on)... and boiled water and put some Vicks in it, and breathe in the steam coming out from the pot with my head covered with a towel. Wow... it was working... I can breathe...hoorah....went to my room to sleep....

10 minutes passed... I was panting for air... blocked again! Back I went to the pantry, now all alone, no one was around the corridor.... and repeated my treatment at the hall opposite the pantry. I considered sleeping there at the hall... Then I realised the windows had no curtains and I could see d darkness outside, trees swaying peacefully with the wind. Yikes... no way.... I brought the hot pot back to my room, placed it on my bed.. I laid down with my face in the pot... and I forgot what happened next....

1.45 am, They woke me up. I was sleeping in normal sleeping position and the pot was on the floor beside my bed. Huh... didnt remember putting it there... I must have been too sleepy I dint remember? I felt way better and no more blocked nose... So.... up up and prepared for the climb... and Alhamdulillah... I made it  :-) Although at the last peak.. I was practically crawling ala Smeagol to get to the top :P

 
In conclusion to this very long post....

What would you need / need to have in order to conquer THe Mount Kinabalu ?
Physical readiness + Mental preparation+ Luck
  
 Is it worth all the trouble? Would I recommend?
YESS !!

Academia, Food and Nature


Cerita ceriti 2 weeks ago:

KL:
in KL for 4 days....attended Tun's talk in a conference :-)
Still charismatic as always....

View from KLCC convention centre:

BACK IN PENANG:
  1. Trus kena heret tgk bola kt Subaidah.... my very first time watching Bola kt mamak, dari start sampai abes... huhu... I wore Red konon2 nak bg variety since the other two wore light blue (argentina).... so argentina lawan south korea (in Red)... dan korea yg kalah... hahaha.... dah kata dah.... sapa aku sokong ke represent je mesti kalah :P
  2. Next day: To Balik Pulau again!!! this Time penambahan ahli melantak: Shuh Jiuan. Beliau amatlah teruja dan tidak segan silu menyerang durian, rambutan, buah salak.... then makan Laksa + goreng pisang lgk :P (kt laksa janggus)
5 bekas durian + 4 gadis ayu... ahaksss... skali tgk mcm impossible.....Har HAr Har..... Posssibleee jer....  

Up NORTH, Kedah:

The next day... trus ke Jerai pulak... Gunung Jerai, Kedah... Seyes.... dah lawa dah tmpt ni.... Last skali mai sini 2003, masa tu agak 'sederhana' la keadaanya.. Skang, dah upgrade. Bilik selesa.... tmpt masih menenangkan, nice weather.

View.... Sawah Padi terbentang luas... leh nampak laut jugak.... Ni time musim baru tanam padi... menghijau... kalau musim padi masak... depa kata lawa jgk.. kekuningan. But kalo musim dah menuai...nampak mcm tanah tandus sket laa...

Bunga-bunga dan pokok2 hiasan pun byk.... Dulu first time, dtg thn 2001- masa tu byk bunga, then in 2003 takda bunga-bunga sangat. This time, depa dah renovate segala... landscape pun dah lawa dgn byk bunga2 seme... so harap dpt maintain la kali ni :-D

Cumanya.... mereka maybe belum cukup bersedia ambil guests berkumpulan kalau terlalu ramai... we went in 150pax... and depa macam agak kelam kabut menguruskan kitorg... a bit mengecewakan bab tu.... But for accomodation, and food... its good. Food is good wpun variety terhad :D Kalau go in small groups / family, this will be a good place to rehat2 tenangkan jiwa. Oh yaaa... dekat2 sini.. ada 2 spot air terjun. Satu a bit tersembunyi maka bahaya sket.. another dekat taman rimba ke apa ntah... turun bwh sket... mmg tmpt org suka camping dan ada air terjun yang besh....

Btw.... ini gmbr dulu dan skarang :D
Inset: gmbr pergi dgn kenkawan zaman dgree dolo...
Main: skang under Regency Resort.


So Jom.... hangpa nak pi mana... KL, Penang ka Kedah? :P

Janji Ada Gaya....

Last year, I went to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah with my family. It was an adhoc family trip, with most of our time spent in KK, shopping and driving around. We went to Manukan, and on the same day, we drove to Kinabalu Mountain Park, my dad and I taking turns to drive.

At mountain Park, we walked around the park for quite a distance. It was nice but we were quite disappointed as the clouds and mist were covering the mountain and we couldnt take photo with/of the mountain. I saw some people whom I guessed must be group of hikers... Looking at them, I wondered... "Will I, some day, get to do the same?"... but left the question to dissolve into the fresh mountain air.

On our way back after singgah Kundasang, the skies were clearer and the mountain can be seen... thus I could no longer focus on my driving. Atta suggested we stop coz he knew how badly I wanted to digitalize it in my camera. We passed by Pekan Nabalu that has sorvenir shops and an observation deck. It was such a magnificent sight and the question hit me again "Will I?"...... and told myself "maybe some day.... who knowss..."

There were lots of click and snaps, including this one bimbotic pose.
For this one, the caption in my facebook reads: "Tak mampu daki takpa, janji ada gaya"


Few months after that...... came a proposal from Zue to climb this mountain! What? Seriously? She had been plotting and planning it with Omyn and Kak Ilah was excited too when she got to know about this. My immediate reply was "YES", though I had doubts we were really gonna do this. Next 3 months followed with uncertainties, then somewhere in October / November, we had to confirm our participation. This time, I put serious thought about it.... and yes... it was a YES.


We told ourselves we need a lot of practise.... bla bla bla... tried, but not very consistent. It was not until March that we started to have goosebumps, butterflies in e stomach.... and motivate each other to really start practicing and work on our stamina... ergo the series of update on aktiviti cargas-cargas in tis blog.
Hence, the conclusions of this post...
  1. The Impossibles can be Possible if we put our mind into it
  2. Life is Unpredictable
  3. BBs can do it
  4. No matter what... janji ada gaya.... ahaksss.....

it's Bukit Jambul


I have been updating on places I go for work out.... I missed this one though --> Bukit Jambul.

We frequent this place long before our May-expedition plan. This place is in bukit jambul... obviously :P Near Inti College.



a short hike on tar road, then u'll see this track on ur left... usually we'll do warm up here before goin up the track.
There are 2 main tracks.... We are only familiar with the right fork... not sure about the other track, heard it's more 'muddy' (if it rains) or some sort laa.

One good thing about this hill is, the stairs... yaaa... the stairs! hehe.

B.Jambul can be a very short hike for those who are good with stairs... but can be a lil challeging to newbies.

I remember my first time, alongside with some other newbies. I was panting hard and kinda dizzy while another 2 vomitted on the way up. So never underestimate this place :P my first time... i think I took around 35 minutes to reach up. with recent ongoing work-outs, it took me 10 minutes to reach the top :-) happy!

it's a good start for jungle track hikers :-D recommended !
If you are practising for a bigger expedition, goin up and down for 2-3 times is highly recommended.


Once u reach the top, there's this hut where they have weight-lifting equipments available to public. Open gym kinda thing la. So hot hunkies with 6packs + toned muscles can have this spot all for themselves and work it out, man.... :P

And there's also outdoor gym equipment available... so u can work-out ur cardio as well :D

Left: the hut with weight equip, Right: the outdoor equip


or u can just rest....

and enjoy the view:

with a cup of hot ginger tea, crysanthemum tea or just plain waterfree for public.


sometimes you will bump into people who will be carrying one/two bottles of 5litre water to the top. The is water supply on top but the water pressure is quite low. Ouh, on the side note, there is a toilet too, so dun worry in case of emergency :P

Hehehe...
Okies, that's about it... Updates on my work-out places or aktiviti2 cargas recently. This photos are taken after our May-escapade (which I will update later).... this is to so-call warm down from our big hiking expedition... heehe.

Till then... up up up we go !

Stamina bertangga ke Bukit Bendera


WOKES..... mari Cargas semula.
Kali ni ~ Bukit Bendera.

Bukit Bendera or Flag Hill is one of Penang's most popular tourist sites. One of its main attractions is the Cable Car... the other would be the view from top.


To reach Bt Bendera on foot.... there are quite a number of tracks... One from Botanical Garden (MoonGate), then another from Youth Park. Even from MoonGate... there are more than 1 track for us to choose from.

I went hiking there 2 times recently. We started from Moon Gate. There is another track - from the Jeep Route, so it's tar road all the way up. From MoonGate - hill track.


mula-mula... so semangat!

Then jadi mcm nyawa2 ikan bila tgk the stairs.... Stairs of Horror as Zue put it. Tgk je la... byk steps n curam2 jugak :{~




First station: Station 5 ~ here, we have outdoor gym instruments... Free drinks (plain water / chinese tea)- not sure on weekdays ada tak... and resting/lepaking spots.

CONTINUE:

Phew... no mo stairs of horror! but challenging nonetheless. Quite interesting track :-) Nice View along the way.


Our second Station.... Station 84 ~ Resting place and Plain water available.

From station 84.... we can choose whether to continue on hill/jungle track or jeep route (tar road). On our first time, since there were only 3 of us, girls... we chose the tar road since someone told us that the hill track is a bit confusing and we might get lost....




TAR / Jeep Route:

So here's our Tar Road journey, Hehe:
(marked Red - a track approaching from other fork) - this is where we tembus kuar on our 2nd trip.



Yeahhh..... Sampai...Jeep route 5.0 km :D for us: (2.5km from station 84 + hill trek, not sure)



Hill / Jungle Track:
The following week.... we chose the hill trek.

It's very challenging.. very steep and dirty :D but at the same time... nicer view :D
And actually we were quite lost... we were supposed to come out at 4.6km fork.... But we kinda pusing2 bulatan mana entah... and got out at 3.8km, hiking back on jeep route. taking us longer time than expected.



at 4.6km.... we chose another route... not jeep route.... and finally... made it UP to the TOP!




My rough sketch.....
Both these tracks start from Botanical Garden (MoonGate / JeepRoute).



Actually there are more tracks.... There was this guy who told us, they climb to station 5 and from station 5 they use a different track known as Bukit Pondan before exiting to station 84. Aikk bukit pondan? Never heard of it before... maybe next trip eh.... hehe

Ok Bukit Bendera sudah..... What next? :D

I loved you.... but that's the Past....

Sudah seminggu lamanya.... daku tak ber-laptop.
Wow... and I am still surviving.

Ya laa.. coz these days.... almost everyone, anyone wants/ needs a lappy for work / studies / entertainment etc. maa... not only those dealin with IT / tech stuff.

one thing i miss most.... internet accessibility.... gagagaga

wat bothers me most.... i can't do any work, any time I want....anywhere I want... (like I used to)
and all my works are highly dependent on this thing called computer.. geeesh.


When my laptop buat hal hari tu.....
I felt numb.... mcm nyawa di hujung tanduk...
(although I have backup data.... but then, not updated for one month)
like so worried thinking of how to catch up to one month of progress (if there's any :P)

Luckily, my HDD was not affected... therefore all my data is safe....
but then thinking of how much my "life" depends on the lappy.... so fragile.... so unpredictable... kinda bothers me....

I always have this LOVE-HATE relationship with technologies.... HAHA.....

however.... I am proud to say I am indeed, a computer scientist... :P cecewah


and...ouh... MOST IMPORTANTLY.... I need a NEW Lappy asap....
HP? Toshiba? Acer Travelmate? Haih..... the survey begins!!


P/S:
I loved you for 2 years.... I slept with you... I laughed with you... I cried with you... How could u leave me when I need u most!!!!!! !
@*%#$%##^ Dell XPS m1530.


but ... thanks for the memories .... ahaks... jiwang plak...

Suasana petang di Tasik Mengkuang

Ini hari, cheq mau buat liputan Mengkuang Dam plak.




Tempat ni sesuai bagi mereka yang suka berjoging2. Bagus utk senaman cardio. Kawasan sekeliling pun indah mata memandang... auwwww ....

Ada dua pilihan... nak joging kt laluan terbuka/terbentang luas, atau, kat laluan yg dikelilingi pohon indah nan menghijau.

Ni laluan terbuka, ni jalan merentasi empangan dan tasik dia.

Jalan dia cam gini dan kita leh nampak penghujung trek dia jauh nun di sana. Lebih kurang 1.5 km gitu lah...
Di kala petang, ramai ber-joging2.. ber-walking2.... ber-sight2-seeing. Di sebelah kanan, adalah Tasik Mengkuang ber-background-kan bukit-bukit. Manakala di sebelah kiri:


Bukit dan jalan raya... akan juga nampak empangan. Opss lupa amik gmbr cekpoint kat hujung nya...

Hari tu masa patah balik... hampir nak Maghrib. Dari kejauhan, dalam suasana senja, terdengar sayup-sayup bacaan ayat-ayat Quran dari sebuah masjid. Rasa damai :-)



On the way balik dr trek di atas, tasik di kiri.


Laluan Kedua: masuk dalam lagi....
ada nampak Bukit Mertajam? :P


Ada juga yang berkayak petang-petang.



Ada yang jadikan lokasi utk wedding outdoor photography:


Jalan masuk ke laluan joging kedua:




Sedikit berbukit but tak curam sgt...






Lepas laluan berpokok-pokok.... then kuar open space balik.


Di tepi tasik .

anyone knows, bangunan apakah itu?

Dan sampai lah ke penghujung trek ini... Sekian... :D
Selain itu, kat sini tempat Penang International Dragon Boat Festivals diadakan tiap-tiap tahun.



Cheq suka tmpt ni sbb dia damai tenang gituw :P
