Received an email from Mountaintorq today regarding how you can prepare yourself before going for an adventure on Mount Kinabalu. A must read for every Mt. Kinabalu climbers, especially for those who planned for via ferrata adventure.
I did not use these during my earlier trip up the mountain, as I was really fit and did not have knee injuries. However, after I sustained meniscus tear of my right knee (thanks to Sundays football @ Yayasan Sabah field) a year ago, I had to use a hiking pole for my last trip up April this year. And the pole has helped me a lot on bearing my weight while going up and down the mountain, relieving some of the burden to my right knee.
I received an email from Martin, asking me to forward his thanks and gratitude to his mountain guide who brought them up to the highest peak of Borneo on the 6th August 2008.
Ordinary flashlight or headlight?
I received a question from one of fellow climber who asked whether he should have an ordinary flashlight or headlight (or headlamp) for him. From my personal experiences, having a headlamp while climbing Kinabalu will give you more advantage than ordinary flashlight.
I have written a blog post about how to choose your backpack on your Mount Kinabalu climbing trip here. You may want to read it first before you go to USOUTDOOR.com to shop. It will give you an idea what type of backpack is suitable for you and your trip. You may not want to buy a small backpack for your South East Asian 3 months tour…
I did my DSD few months back, and decided to get myself an Open Water PADI SCUBA diving license in October. After getting some input from Roslan, one of my good friend (senior at high school & the person who is responsible for me going diving), we went to Sabah Divers at Wisma Sabah to get the first 3 basic equipment for SCUBA diving - mask, snorkel and fins.
It’s here again. Happening on 23-24 August, 2008 at Mount Kinabalu.
Deemed as “the World’s Toughest Mountain Race”, the Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon is the ultimate challenge to take for those game enough to test their endurance by running up and down Mount Kinabalu for a total distance of 21 kilometers.
I don’t think I will be able to join. I would love to, but I am afraid that the organizer asked me to climb down as soon as I reached the first pondok…
I thought it was a small matter to most of us. But the truth is, it’s not. I received an email from Miss M (not her real name) asking me on what type of gloves that she could use to climb Mount Kinabalu.
If you have been following me since last week on Blog Mastermind, Yaro had just emailed me this morning and informed that his blog coaching program will be opened tomorrow. He also gave me the last 2 links to his videos, a look over his shoulder at how his blog makes money and how much money it makes.
These videos are designed to teach you about how to make money blogging and show proof that he is actually doing it and show us the potential for earning with Blog Mastermind.
