Climbing the mountain requires a certain level of fitness. If you are thinking that this is an easy meandre around the side of a hill, you are vastly deluded. It's a CLIMB!

Next time go we are going to spend more time... more

I did the all day trip to Kinabalu Park and Poring Hot Springs (separate review). It was very beautiful. I didn't feel I could do the climb to the top, but the day trip was nice.
