QUOTE(xnobys @ Apr 4 2006, 07:45 AM) try to avoid going there during raining season. you can't see a thing and the chill would really affect your endurance/energy/spirit. u sure june - august arr?? i went to Mt. Kinabalu 3 weeks ago... which is somewhere near end of june... that place is raining every single day... i climbed through mesilau... and it rains so heavily... and it's a blady hell when climbing man... cold.. damn cold...i guess june - august would be the best period to go there. don't worry about food or drinks there. they got a restaurant at gunting lagadan (or was it the other camp?). make sure you got enough money though! i was charged RM4.00 for a cup of hot milo  hahahaha but then it was a damn good experince... QUOTE(xnobys @ Apr 4 2006, 06:39 PM) correct, it's laban rata... yeah... havin a hot cup of drink at few thousand feet above sea level is indeed priceless!!!... my apologies for furnishing a wrong informations... whatever they charge for the food or drinks it's worth it... having a cup of hot milo a few thousand feet above sea level = priceless really remember to bring enough money... dun bring much food... just 3-4 chocolate bars... and some cereal bars... and then... the 100plus over there is selling for 5 bucks per can...  make sure when u climb, climb light... just bring around 1.5litre of water... then ENOUGH of jacket to keep u warm, then rain jacket... long pants, gloves, knitted hat... and DO NOT CARRY SLEEPING BAG or anything unnecessary things up... they have blankets... and use ur jackets and long pants when u sleep... remember to bring enough jacket... at least a layer of fleece and a layer of wind shield |
