KK 登山记

沙巴神山

是一个非常神秘的地方,据说很多人在此失了踪影.不可以在山上破坏任何的动植物和捡拾任何属于山上的物件,传说有人拾取山上的石头当成记念品而当晚爬上山放回原位去.非常鬼异的地方.

我的爬山记.....

哈哈..不知不觉回来我的家乡一年多.我好怀念在新加坡的日子和一班同事好朋友们一起患难与共快快乐乐的时刻.在这里我只有工作但是有家人的陪伴,这是在新所缺少的. 我在这里认识好多可爱的小美眉,可是相处的日子却不久因为她们都要升学去.有的去国外也有的留在本地.各自为自己的新生活而忙碌.....而我也迷上了登山等户外活动!!!

沙巴神山是我筹备了一年的计划.
和一班志同道合的朋友开始努力训练爬山术。几经一翻苦练，终於到了七月尾。。。
我花了将近千元马币购买寒衣，爬山鞋，背包及基本用品。。。加上机票旅店和KK山费用近二千元呢。。。这趟沙巴之旅真的大大出血，心好痛哦！！！！

Mount Kinabalu

Mount Kinabalu (Malay: Gunung Kinabalu)

is a prominent mountain in Southeast Asia. It is located in Kinabalu National Park (a World Heritage Site) in the east Malaysian state of Sabah, which is on the island of Borneo. Its summit (known as Low’s Peak) height at 4,095 metres (13,435 ft) above sea level. The mountain with over 600 species of ferns, 326 species of birds, and 100 mammalian species identified. Among them are the gigantic Rafflesia plants and the orang utan. Mount Kinabalu has been accorded UNESCO World Heritage status.

Climbing route
Climbers must be accompanied by guides at all times. The climb starts at the Kinabalu park headquarters at 1,585 m (5,200 feet).

Accommodation is available inside the park or outside near the headquarters. From there, climbers proceed to the Timpohon gate at 1866 m (6,122 ft), either by minibus or by walking, and then walk to the Laban Rata Resthouse at 3,270 m (10,728 ft). Most people accomplish this part of the climb in 3 to 6 hours. Since there are no roads, the supplies for the Laban Rata Resthouse are carried by porters, who bring up to 30 kilograms of supplies on their backs. Hot food and beverages, hot showers and heated rooms are available at the resthouse. The last 2 km (2600 ft), from the Laban Rata Resthouse at 3,270 m to Low's Peak (summit) at 4,095.2 m, takes between 2 and 4 hours. The last part of the climb is on naked granite rock.

Given the high altitude, some people may suffer from altitude sickness and should return immediately to the bottom of the mountain, as breathing and any further movement becomes increasingly difficult.More importantly, these kinds of difficulties can be a sign of suffering from Acute Mountain Sickness, which can lead to High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) or/and High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE). Acetazolamide (Also known as "Diamox" is often used for preventing / treating acute mountain sickness.
