Failure of doing so may result in tragedies as to what happened to Ellie James, the 1991 case - 2 sarawakians missing till now and the 1994 case - British commandos from Hong Kong lost at the Low's Gully... few years ago, i read about a mountain guide who fell into a slope, despite having climbed the mountain hundreds of times... this happened because he reportedly, took a leak (pee) not in the designated place (the toilet) but rather at the summit trail.. we need to adhere not only the modern rules but traditional rules... ask Datuk Tengku Zainal Adlin who himself climbed Mt Kinabalu hundreds of times... he experienced many2 super natural happenings while at the foot, middle or top of mt kinabalu... for safety, stay close with your guides... never ever overtake your guide... and be humble, not boastful, Mount Kinabalu is a legend... everyone including the guides themselves who climb mount kinabalu, must strictly adhere to the dos and donts and the local custom.

It's important that people know the dangers of trekking. Ellie was an accomplished climber, but even she lost her way. I went to college with Ellie, and she was a wonderful girl with such a free spirit. I'm honoured to have known her, even if it was only for a year.

I don't know about the previous death, as the data maybe confidential to the Sabah Park Authority. I will try to look for the other from Sabah Park... Hi Ben,
