I had visited this website before our trip and from this took advice regardng equipment/ clothing etc to bring. We all managed to reach the peak. It wasn't an easy climb but we took our time and had the most amazing guide (Petrus) who took charge of our son Archie (8) and guided him to the peak 15 min ahead of us! It felt like the most amazing achievement as a family together and although it was tough I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone - as would our children who are so proud of what they achieved. We found your website so helpful in providing us with information/advice before our climb - thank you x My husband and I climbed Mount Kinabalu Aug 2009 with our children Archie 8 and Millie 12.

Our group also had other children ( 8, 12, 14 and 18 yo). There were 6 parents(including us). We were fully prepared for AMS and as the children are athletes(swimmers) we were fairly confident that they can tell us their symptoms. All except the 8 and the 12 years old reached the peak. The two did not make it because of fatique (?AMS) and food poisoning (diarhoea and vomiting the night before). They managed to get to Sayat-sayat. Lots of planning, training and care needed to bring children but the satisfaction and sense of achievement is immeasurable. The guides were also great. Couldn't have made it without them Extremely good and patient with the kids. Chow Yen. Dear Drizad,
