Leading Another Trip up Mount Kinabalu

Tony, a.k.a. Penguin-3, the Mountain Sifu, will lead a group of runners from Pacesetters Kuantan Area Group to climb Mount Kinabalu this Friday, from April 27 to May 1, 2007.

We wish them safe journey and pleasant holidays.

After numerous experience of trekking up Mount Kinabalu, he has established a good name taking friends and runners up the peak. True to his name, he likes trekking up hills and mountains other than taking part in marathons and duathlon races.

To organize a trip up the peak, one has to connect a network of people there from the porters, mountain guides and to the officials at the Kinabalu Park. Tony and a few of the mountain guides there were like brothers-in-arms or long-lost brothers where they meet one another once in six months.

To ensure comfortable journey and more focus in attention, the preferred size of group is about 15 persons. For this trip, the total number is 14.

The regular runners from Kuantan are: Tan Wah Sing, William Chin, Crystal Foong, etc.
