Mount Kinabalu 8-9 August 2013




Celebration at the summit



Some 2 years ago we toyed with the idea to celebrate Victor's 70th birthday on top of Mount Kinabalu.  On 9 Aug 2013, exactly 4 years after our first summit climb there, we fulfilled our promise with a banner and birthday song at the summit of Mount Kinabalu.

On 8 August 2013 we set off from Timpohon gate.



All raring to go







Finally arrived at Laban Rata

Training for Via Ferrata

The afternoon rain means lots of water gushing down the mountain

The rain also makes the temperature drop to 2°C before our summit climb

Celebration with flag as it was also national day

Happy Birthday!!!
