Dear Fellow Mountain Climber,
It is my pleasure to Congratulate you for taking the first step to a very challenging and most rewarding trip-Climbing Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in South East Asia.
In January 2005, while we were searching for information to plan our trip to Mount Kinabalu, we realised that accurate, comprehensive and updated information about Mount Kinabalu was simply not available. To benefit aspiring visitors like yourself, I have specially compiled our first-hand experience, observations and research into an eGuide-Discover the Untold Truths to Climbing Mount Kinabalu.

Are you searching now for one of these reasons?

Are you planning for a trip to climb Mount Kinabalu(Gunung Kinabalu) at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah in Malaysia? Are you looking for information on tour packages and what kind of preparation to make for the trip? Are you looking for climbing tips to ensure that you have all the advantages to enjoy your climb and reach the summit? Are you finding out about other costs that will be incurred during the trip?

Are you looking towards mountain climbing as a thrill and hobby? Is this your first time climbing a Mountain? It is well-known that Mount Kinabalu standing at 4,095m is the best mountain to climb for beginner. How do I know that? There are a lot of mountains higher and more treacherous than Mount Kinabalu: Kilimanjaro in East Africa, standing at 5,895m; Nepal mountains called Himalayan Peaks are at least 5,500m in heights; and the highest Mount Everest at 8,848m. Try Mount Kinabalu first and you will have a good feel of how it is like to climb higher ones.

Are you visiting Kota Kinabalu soon? The saying goes,"if you have not seen Mount Kinabalu, you have not seen South East Asia yet." The summit of Mount Kinabalu is the most beautiful and heavenly sight of South East Asia. It is just round the corner of Kota Kinabalu. Don't miss out on the experience of climbing Mount Kinabalu yourself! "Thanks again. I just can't afford getting in Malaysia without trying something to get up that great mountain. Your ebook gave me an additional motivation for doing it." Charles Langlois, Canada.

Are you looking for a family excursion? Instead of a fishing trip, disneyland or a cruise, why not climb up Mount Kinabalu together as a family? There were at least 5 families climbing during our trip. One of them was a German in his fifies with his grown-up son. Another indian family climbed together in 3 generations- grandparents, son and grandson. Imagine training together with your kids and spouse, to prepare for the most memorable climbing moments of your family? Bet your spouse and kids will treasure the memories of Mount Kinabalu for years to come...

If you are one of the above, let us take a Closer look at the Facts...

You could be spending many hours looking for the right information, which are scattered all over and some are just not available. Many travellers are concerned with key information on how and where to spend their money wisely, are you? By the way, we realised a lot of important information only during and after our climb! Too late...

You may choose a tour agent and let him do all the works. Just pay up whatever price he asks for. So, he decides your costs and fate. Is it possible to overpay your tour agent by more than $500, if you are coming in from the other side of the world? Is it possible that you may not be given the best deal and find yourself cramped into a small hotel for the kind of money that you have paid?

Tour agents are running a competitive business. If you may not sign up for their tour package, will they answer your questions? They might. Will they tell you the truth about overall cost, preparation and what to expect during the trip? Without your business, some might not even entertain you if you ask too much questions. Some of your questions are so important to you but...not to them!
The tour agent's job is to collect money to arrange your trip for you. Whether you can climb to the summit or not, is not his business. If you have to make a comeback, the tour agent is more than happy to do business with you again! So, who are you likely to consult for climbing tips to Mount Kinabalu? Friends, books, internet,...? Are you aware that the tour agent also dish out climbing tips? Ours did too. When we ask him when was the last time he climbed Mount Kinabalu, he told us that he had never climb it before in his 7 years as tour agent!

This is the First and Only eGuide on climbing Mount Kinabalu available in the market. At the click of the mouse, you can download the ebook and bonus gifts.

I will let you know what my Guide is Not!

It is NOT a Guide that just by reading it, it will guarantee that you will reach the summit. Nobody should ever offer a 100% guarantee, without putting a hook in the mouth! With the 2nd Edition of 60 pages of valued information in my practical guide based on my sharing of our experience, observations, research and feedbacks from friends/customers, your chance of success will be greatly increase.

It is NOT able to predict that you will not face torrential rain and wild wind up in the summit. The information that I provide will help you to plan in such a way as to reduce your chance of facing the extreme weather.
It is NOT possible to stop you from splurging at the spur of the moment, on luxiourious indulgences, food and souvenirs, especially to celebrate your victorious climb. However, you should easily keep your trip within your budget when you follow my advice.
It is NOT 100% foolproof. I have strive to be comprehensive, accurate and updated as far as possible, so that you will save many hours of your time and hundreds of your hard-earned money in your preparation of the trip. Most importantly, GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND AVOID MAKING A COSTLY COMEBACK!

How You will Benefit from my Practical Guide?

Save many hours of your time looking for the Right information, with all the important information at your fingertips. You will be shown exactly where you can save your money effectively in your trip. Also, if you are going spend so much time on looking for the Right information, why not spend it more productively on your work or business where some of your income alone is at least US$200 per day?

YES, you can Do-It-Yourself, without going through a tour agent! I have devoted an entire chapter on how to Do-It-Yourself and enjoy the flexibility of planning your climbing schedule and save even more money than your original budget. No more upsetting your professional schedule to meet rigid timetable of tour packages!
Know exactly what are the important items to prepare and buy. Mountain gears are very expensive. If you buy the wrong item, you might just have to bear with the consequence of using it. My wife had bought a good trekking shoe at US$125. Unfortunately, it was not suitable for climbing and she sprained her ankles so badly that she had to limp most of her way down the mountain. It would be costly if you have to replace the item again.
Climbing Tips & Better preparation in physical fitness and mentally. It is often those who have a good idea of what to expect during the climb itself and prepare themselves well physically and mentally, who will enjoy their climbs and increase their success rate of reaching the summit. In my eGuide, we share our First-Hand experience so that you climb with an edge.

Know where are the dangers and exercise precautions accordingly. Dangers lurk in the great mountain. It is important to know them and have a safe climb.

Let me share a little about our humble experience

What motivated me to climb Kinabalu?
A Priceless Gift for you…of a lifetime!
In January 2005, my friend Alex suggested the idea of climbing Mount Kinabalu. The idea of climbing the highest mountain in South East Asia thrilled me. I had always wanted to enjoy the experience of climbing a mountain and setting my foot victoriously on its summit. Our wives got excited too! Are you too?

My Wife, Alice & Me

During the midnight climb when it was cold, and the slope only got steeper and harder, there were moments where I had wanted to give up the challenge. My legs started to cramp and it took a lot of efforts to drag my feet one step at a time. The mission was worthwhile.
When the going got tough, the toughest part was to get it going. It reminded me of those difficult, cloudy and darkest days of my life. Those were the days where I learnt the most about myself and grew up. I had hung on to the hope inside me, kept going till the clouds cleared away and the sun rose to light up my days.
I came down the mountain with a new inspiration in my life. To set out to conquer other mountains in my life, inspired by the memory of my struggles up Mount Kinabalu alive in my heart and mind till this very day…and for a long time to come. The memory of Mount Kinabalu is the reason I started out on this One-Stop Practical Guide and the inspiration to finishing it. May this inspiration of a lifetime be a priceless gift to you too when you set your foot on its summit.

Getting all the Wrong advices from Internet…

Guess what? Our findings from searching the internet, looking at information from tour guide booklets, asking our tour agent and interviewing some friends who had conquered the mountain were very brief, fragmented and insufficient.
We got some feedbacks as follow:

“No need to prepare at all or bring much items there. Just go and climb…”
“It is very tough! You must be very fit to take on the mountain. Suggest you climb up and down the stairs of a 30 storeys building, with a full pack on your back, at least 3 times a week for 3 months. ”
“Your normal water bottle cannot take the cold. The plastic may melt inside. Bring thermos flask.” “You mean…plastic melting in extreme cold?” I asked.
Anyway, we had to rely on what we could find and common sense to prepare ourselves. We went ahead to climb Mount Kinabalu on 16 March 2005 to 19 March 2005.

We barely made it! It was only by a stroke of luck that we made it to the summit!

Big Problems that only made the climb harder

Just to share with you a few big problems my wife and me faced during the climb.

We had such a hard time struggling up the mountain with our loads that I surrendered my backpack to the porter, even before the ? mark of the day climb!
I fell sick and vomited finally at Laban Rata, just before the midnight climb.
We bought 2 new torches that did not function properly and could not be used for the midnight climb. As a result, we had to grope in the dark for 3? hours!
It would have been a more fruitful and enjoyable climb if we were better informed. Through our mistakes, we had become experienced climbers. But why suffer unnecessarily if you have a Choice? There were about 40% who did not make it to the summit that day.

Issues to Consider

To be well prepared, we had to consider some of the key issues.
How cold is it really up there? Any danger of frostbite? How thin is the air at the summit?

How tough is the climbing? What are the dangers to look out for?
How do we ensure comfortable and reasonable accommodations?
How much money in total is it really going to cost us? Abandoning the climb without reaching the summit, is in fact the most costly! The total cost will include the cost of the trip alone, the opportunity loss of time and psychological which will cost no less than US$500! Are we going to spend our precious time and money again to make a comeback?

A climber from France told me,
"I gave up somewhere near the summit last year. This thing about making it to the summit kept bugging me for the whole year. I had no peace of mind! I had to make it this time round, no matter what happen!"

Together with Alex & Wife, Hsiao Fen
