My 2nd trip up Mount Kinabalu...~Part 1

On the 29th Sep..I went for my 2nd trip up Mount Kinabalu...My 1st was with the girls last year..This time round is with the Utarians...More boys less girls..Our days starts at 4 am as promised with the driver we initially engaged...Cheap and Convenient...Though our schedule went off slightly..We managed to get ready bout 430 am.. Went down to the lobby and found no one waiting..Felt anxious n irrirated..We start to call the driver but to no avail..We got ourselves another driver at a higher price but u cant complain at a time like tat...Bout 5+, we start our journey to the Kinabalu Park...Reach there bout 7 am..Registration..Toilet going ceremony and here we go ....!! Choice of trail ; the Mesilau trail up and Timpohan trail down...During the 1st 3 km was a breeze...Nice scenery...Mostly track downhill....So it was somehow a piece of cake...Compare to the later of the journey....


Still look pretty good at the 4thKM!!!..But by the 5th km..The wind was sooo strong..We can hardly walk up straight...



A video footage of the condition of the wind...


No nice picture was taken after the 5th km..No one has the mood and was in good enough condition to take pic....Below is the last group picture took...After that, we dont really remember wat happened....This 5th km is a different 5thkm from the picture above...This is the Timpohan trail's 5th..Its our 6th or 7th km !!
