Today's photo shows a fellow trekker descending Mount Kinabalu on a section of the trail above Laban Rata. It's the last photo I took on the Mountain. By now the sun was pretty high in the sky removing any character from the views over the Crocker Range.
The road to Kota Kinabalu is clearly visible in today's image, etched into the side of the ridge near the base of the photo. The Park HQ complex is in the bottom left of the photo.
After a while spend wandering off-trail we decided it was time we were rejoining the pack. The tops of the clouds in this photo are more than a mile vertically below me.
But that was all ahead of me. Here I was admiring the view myself and trying not to think about climbing down that massive staircase I'd climbed up less than 24 hours prior.
Clearly up here on the exposed granodiorite at the summit of Mount Kinabalu, a grey windbreaker definitely falls into the what not to wear category!
Having posted some photos a few days back looking up towards the summit of Mount Kinabalu from the resthouse at Laban Rata, today's photo is the reverse...
