I am pleased to announce that Tony (Penguin-3) is organizing another adventurous trip of trekking up the peak of Mount Kinabalu next year from May 25 - 28, 2006. He has climbed up Mount Kinabalu for more than 10 times and the most recent climb was on 27 August 2005.
This trip in May 2006 would assist him in preparation for the Mount Kinabalu Climbation challenge in Oct 2006 where each racer is to run up and down the peak within short qualifying hours.
Currently, he is on members recruitment drive. If you are interested, please email or call Tony before 30 Oct 2005. Please hurry, as seats are limited.
Email: harbourq@yahoo.co.in
Hand phone: 016-274 2213
Fees: RM 950 per person.
This is a non-profit amount as he organizes the Mount Kinabalu trips based on passion for the climb. This fee is based on the low airfare and the fee would be reduced accordingly if he can get promotional rate.
Tentative Itinerary:
May 25 - Leave KL to KK. Stayed at Mesilau Bishop Rest House
May 26 -Trek via Mesilau route up to Laban Rata Rest house (put up a night in hostel bunk beds type)
May 27 -Trek up to the Peak and descend same day. Stay at Poring Hot Spring
May 28 - KK town for 2 hrs shopping and back to KL
Minimum requirement:
You must be healthy and have positive mindset. Trekking up Mount Kinabalu is challenging and required considerable amount of fitness and effort.
Maximum number of trekkers: 14
Small group is preferred for focus attention. Consideration for safety of the trekkers is the prime concern of Tony. He would engage sufficient mountain guides and porters to assist the trekkers. To-date, seven places have already been taken up.
Training:
A series of hill trekking would be organized by Tony five months leading to the actual climb. You are recommended to participate at these training events. Popular hill trekking destinations: Gunung Datuk (Seremban), Gunung Nuang (Ulu Langat), Gunung Irau (Cameron Highlands), etc.
Quotable quote by Penguin-1:
Being Japanese, they must climb Mount Fuji once in their life times. Being Malaysians, we must climb Mount Kinabalu once in our life times.
So, are you inspired to take this challenge?
