Daily Photo – The Climb to Laban Rata
Laban Rata is pretty much at the altitude where the vegetation peters out and the base granite starts. The trek there is through the jungle/rainforest so it can be pretty warm and humid. Most of the climb that I recall was this seemingly endless zigzag of stairs cut into the side of the hill and shored up with wood or stone, without which the entire climb would be a muddy scramble.
