when men gets greedy, its ugly from beginning to end..there’s no more value for climbing or nature when ur rights to be equally and fairly treated has gone even from the beginning..i made 5 trips to Mount Kinabalu since 2000 to 2006, nt a single under the management of the ‘Snakes’ …no complains whatsoever, it was only against the nature that was the toughest but the fruits was sweetest. Now with we fighting agaist the ‘snakes’ the tough gets tougher, one down and another will creep..accept the fact ..move on…think abundance.

I wonder why if the lodge is so demanding, means the business is so good, why they still impose a “no refund” policy?.. really sharm for being Malaysian, good job than a robbery!

i wonder y give only 1 operator to operate on Mt KK to rip off people. i just acquire about climbing MT KK with ferrata & lookinfg forward to a trip in Nov … but all tour agents quoted me RM$1400 for 2 D1N. Wow i think i go australia better than climb Mt KK. these companies are spoiling Malaysia image. worse Mt Torq does not give any refund when it rains: they will NOT give refunds if you do NOT do their ferrata when it RAINS. basically a free lunch for them!!! when i feedback to their agents they are pissed & agressive!! i really hope a person will open another accommodation to compete against these scums!

[...] etc.), and that’s the minimum! I then learned that lot of climbers are pushing for the boycotting of Mt Kinabalu due to the overpricing of SSL. I wonder if it is still possible for me to climb Mt. Kinabalu. [...]

Hi Leo,

I too, was extremely disppointed with the Sabah Government giving away the park management to a private operator. I only spent about RM200++ in 2006 for the whole trip excluding food.
All the Sabah ministers who approved the award to a private operator for the management of the Mt Kinabalu should bear full responsible for all these crap. OK, the operator is there to rip us, but with the approval of our BINATANG ministers, whose brains are located in their knees but having inflated pockets!
I say, BOYCOTT SSL and Mt Kinabalu, go someway else.
