Thankfully limpeh already climbed it during the 90s when it was still dirt cheap.
The whole point is to catch the sunrise and then fuck off the mountain asap.

Inflation manifests in many ways.

Climbing Mount Kinabalu is a heng-sway thing which depends on the weather, especially if you wish to see the sunrise at the summit. If there is bad weather, they won't allow you to climb up to the summit on the second day. And it will be reflected on the certificate you receive.

Yeah they should call it the wildlife conservation tax. If they can tax carbon and the water you use/drink... what's wrong with collecting more money?

Kinabalu is a breeze compared to Gunung Tahan. That is one trip limpeh will never forget. Boots totally koyak after the arduous 5- day climb.

Hardcore ones climb Kilimanjaro. The African niggers will accompany you during your climb: a guide to lead you, porters to carry your barang barang, and cooks to cook for you.

Kilimanjaro needs longer planning and training with more $$$ thrown in. Furthermore hard to get climbing kakis to go on more than 2-weeks leave.
And limpeh climbing days are over long time back. Now only climbing stairs to strengthen my old weakening legs.

I do not know how much have changed since I climbed and tough or not, in my opinion, it is not for secondary school kids to climb.
Not sure they are still organising such climb there?

Yes, there are also special tour agencies in charge of organizing climbing groups. Sometimes they don't immediately climb upon arrival, but have a bit of R&R at the town nearby.

You can also go by yourself, but you need to hire a guide.

When I climbed it, there were several Hongkee tour groups up there catching the sunrise. The groups were all made up of uncles and aunties following their respective tour leaders holding company flags. These honkees can really talk a lot and very loudly despite the thin air up there.....
