Protected within the Kinabalu Park of some 753.7 km², its biological diversity has captivated scientists the world over.
The climb itself is very hard but not technical, an element of fitness is a real help
The climb to Laban Rata takes between 4-6 hours.
It’s 99% uphill, unrelenting and the steps are seemingly endless, you’ll be dreaming steps for days!
The secret to climbing is take it slowly, unless you’re competing in the Climbathon its not a race.
The summit ascent starts at 02:30, take a good torch as the ones for rent usually don’t last the climb.
If it’s a clear night take a moment to look a the sky as its simply stunning.
The summit itself is …….. well you have to go and find out, its worth it! The descent takes 5-7 hours.
