Aftern a short, but still overnight flight to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, followed by an early morning drive into the outskirts of the Mt. Kinabalu National Park, we finally arrived at about 3:45AM. We spent Thursday hanging out and exploring some of the lower elevations of the park before heading out on Friday AM for the two day climb to the summit.'
We got lucky with the weather and had some fog, but not rain for the first part of the ascent to the base camp on Mt. Kinabalu.
On day 2 we left at 2:30AM and started the 3 hour slog in the dark up to the summit at 13,500 ft. It was freeing cold, but but well worth it once the sun finally came out.
Then it was all the way back down the mountain and back to Manila the following day.
