I dedicate this post to my team mates Alfred, Jong, Hoe and Evelyn. Despite the strong cold winds and freezing rain, we started from Laban Rata at 2.30am, managed to reach the peak at 7.30am, being the last climbers of the day. At least all of us made it up and showed a strong will to the end. A day earlier from Mesilau Resort, we started at 8.30am, reached Laban Rata at 4.30pm and it was a poor 8-hour record compared to my last trip of July 2007 of 5-hour. No sunrise scene, it rained and was freezing up there at summit, you can see it from the dull sky tone.
This shot was taken on my way down at Panar Laban of 3272m altitude, looking up the summit. At the top center, you will see 3 tiny figures just at the sky edge. The team were on a special mission trail called VIA FERRATA on steel wires anchored into rockface, a new challenge for the highly adventurous. I was not able to take good photos at summit. I hope this will show the challenge of trekking it. Thank you for viewing. |
