Decenting from the peak....

by JamesWtc - last update: May 15, 2005

Looking down

Spectacular view....

The large park of Sabah could be seen in this clear sky. Looking down from the height of 4000 meters was beautiful and breathtaking...
From the top

View from the top....

To see the earth from above the cloud, you need to climb high....
Sayat-sayat hut

Looking down the sayat-sayat hut

Sayat-Sayat hut is the highest hut avaiable, and also the edge of vegetation. It is our check point before climbing the final park of the mountain. Everything was in plain... all you see here are granite stones that stretch far and wide and high.
Climbing down

Climbing down

Now you can see how you actually climb up to the mountain in dark. Some part of it are dangerous but you just couldn't see it in dark. By the way, it is still an easy mountain to climb, in term of skills needed.

We made it!!!

After 2 hours of decenting from the peak, we had finally reached Laban Rata rest house. We had our breakfast here and preparing for another long journey down.

On the way down

On the way down.......

It caused actually more pain on your knees than you going up mountain. One of my lady friend cried all the way down....
The Portal

The Portal

See how these portals earn their livings.... I tried to carry their load and I could not even lift it!!!! What a shame!
At each stop...

At each stop...

There are water supply at each stop. You can refill your bottles with 100% fresh mountain water. There're clean and refreshing.....

Toilets are also available.....
