one enough or dual poles need?

last time i climbed kinabalu, there was this one elderly japanese gentleman hiking with double poles. he made it to the top, but on the way down he slipped and broke his face and the back of his head. he didnt hold onto the rope because he was dual-polling downwards.

just becareful. the old man survived, but he had to be evac'd.

Of cos i will use the rope...I think the poles is for the path from kinabalu park up to ladan rata and ladan rata to kinabalu park...

alright, climb safe.

You need to train to use. Not easy to use trekking pole.

How to snyro your leg move with pole, where to cucuk your pole, how tall pole need when up or down, when need pole and when don't need.

I use pole with all my hike. The pole is my 3rd leg. I use pole can hike faster than without pole.

Thanks. I will come back here ask if got question.
Where to get the pole? Is it ok to get from Taobao China


I am not hiking kaki...dun know waste to buy it or not?

At the Timpohon there got rent pole service?

If you not hiking kaki, than rent it from timpohan. Ask the porter.

OK. If no renting service ma 

Copy from one of the hikers, Mystical Pixie. Kindly please take note.

Now happening at Nuang via Janda Baik!!!

Kindly be informed that all hikers are required to apply for permits in order to hike mountains around Malaysia.

As for Nuang via Janda Baik, the rangers are already stationed at the trailhead and those without permits are strictly not allowed.

For more information for permit application, please contact Pejabat Perhutanan Bentong at 092221039.

Note :
- After speaking to them, we were informed that they station there Friday evening itself. So, hiking in at the wee hours is not a good choice too.
- Those doing Reverse Trans Nuang, sorry to inform that you will also need to apply for permit as they are stationed before the Janda Baik's car park.
(a) Register at Pangsun Ranger's Station (which you guys are already doing)
(b) Apply permit from Jabatan Perhutanan Bentong.
© Carry and keep both receipt and letters throughout the hike (run)
- Permits are also required for Pines Tree, Irau, and all the mountains.

P/S: After spoke to Myztical Pixie, she advice us don't have to go that far. Do call them and they wil advice you accordingly. They did it all electronically.

Confirm have. Ask the porter or the counter lady or left hand side the mini store.

thanks hope not expensive.

should I wear the knee support and ankle support siap siap before hike up?

RM10 if not mistaken.

Yup. if you have whatever support, wear it before hike. You don't hike halfway than wear. It doesn't help you.

Thanks
