Yeay!!! we reach the peak... haha... 3 weeks ago. Didn't have time to write about it ever since i am back! Feeling tired and exhausted.. It took me almost 3 -4 days to recover my ache but who cares.... "I made it to the Peak! woo hoo.." after telling myself that i will be back in 1 year time!! Yes!!! 8KM all the way up from Masilau trail to Mount Kinabalu Low Peak! One of the highlight of the year...
Seriously, this trip I don't have much worries bout myself. I guess it's because i once been there and not much of worries of how tough the trail gonna be like, how cold is it gonna be, what should i carry up with me? Is there enough oxygen for me? haha... u know... this kind of question marks will automatically appear in my head all the time. It's not much of this consideration but Just one question, "Do you want to make it to the peak or not!" as simple as that. and really for those who knows me, my mission this time is to bring back my colour cert with me when i am home to KL. and Yes... I have not only 1 colour cert but 2 colour cert. For your information, for those climbers that start climbing using the Masilau Trail, you will have another extra cert because the Sutera Group actually encourage more climbers start climbing at this entrance. Well, it's only 2KM more to climb but worthwile for it... the view is really good. Trail wise, it's not as though as timpohon. Like what Ivan said, this trail have more time for the climbers to recover. So it took me 9 hours to reach Laban Rata for the 6KM climbs, but i do enjoy myself alot with the view and of course the stairs... But really, if i were to choose again which trail to climb, Masilau is definitely the one.
To be frank, for beginners, Masilau is not a good choice but if u do have enough trainings and Staminas, Y not!! Sharon, Woei Tyng, Ivan, Suanne, Pepsi and Ah Bing, they are all the first timer in our Mountain Gang. We only like goin few places to train like Batu caves climbing up stairs, FRIM, Bukit Cahaya Cycling, Mount Gasing... So this is the few that we went for practice and building up our stamina. So it's something tat worthwile to try.
To be continue...
