Climbing Mount Kinabalu?
The average climber will take two days to climb up and down Mount Kinabalu. Climbers can choose from two available trails to climb Mount Kinabalu—the Summit trail and the Mesilau trail.
The Summit trail starts from the Timpohon Gate (1,800m; 5,906 ft) which is located near the Kinabalu Park Headquarters. Before reaching Panalaban (3,273m; 10,738 ft), climbers will encounter a series of trail shelters (pondok)—Pondok Kandis (1,981m; 6,499 ft), Pondok Ubah (2,095m; 6,873 ft), Pondok Lowii (2,286m; 7,500 ft), Layang-Layang (2,702m; 8,865 ft), Pondok Villosa (2,690m; 8,825 ft), and Pondok Paka (3,080m; 10,105 ft). The climb from Timpohon Gate to Panalaban takes approximately 6 to 8 hours.
Fitter and more adventurous climbers may otherwise, opt for the Mesilau trail which starts at the MESILAU NATURE RESORT, 15 kilometers (9.32 miles) away from the Kinabalu Park Headquarters. This trail is particularly steep and slippery especially during the wet seasons. However, its longer route is suitable for scientist and researchers who are keen to analyze Mount Kinabalu’s ecology.
Along the trails, be sure to keep your eyes open for the plenteous interesting sights to check out such as the Villosa pitcher plant as well as a view of the Carson miniature waterfall.
Upon arriving at Panalaban, climbers will have some time to rest and recharge their energy. The climb to the summit resumes before dawn, normally at 2am the next morning. The climb to reach the summit requires climbers to hold onto a rope. Therefore, climbers are advised to wear thick woven gloves in order to ward off the cold as well as to prevent their palms from getting cuts. The climb from Panalaban to the summit normally takes 4 to 5 hours.
Another exciting way to conquer Mount Kinabalu is through the Mountain Torq Via Ferrata trail.
