Travel story: Let's Climb a Mountain

The scuba diving and crocodile hunting put us into a fairly adventurous mood, so we decided to climb the highest mountain in south east Asia. Mount Kinabalu stands 4,095.2 meters above sea level. To put this in perspective, it is about half the height of Everest, and a little bit higher than Mt. Robson (highest mountain in Canada). The great thing about Mt. Kinabalu is that you don’t need ice axes and crampons to reach the summit - it is right near the equator and there is no snow!More
