Climbing The HIGHEST Mountain In Malaysia 🇲🇾 (BRUTAL 33 HOURS)

Today we attempt to summit of Mt. Kinabalu, the highest mountain in Malaysia (and Borneo) at 4,095m.
This peak will prove to be the hardest climb I have ever done, not just in terms of altitude but also in the physical and mental hurdles this mountain throws at you.

I hope you enjoyed not only this video, but the entire Borneo series 🇲🇾. SMASH that LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you did.....

[@emmanuellefaulkner8340]

Hardest trek I ever did! Congrats! It was worth it, isn't it? 🤗 I did it in May, with a little help from Diamox pill for altitude sickness! 😉

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Congratulations 🎊 😊

[@emmanuellefaulkner8340]

@@PaddyDoyle. Congrats to you too!! Good practice if you want to trek in Nepal next time!! 😉

[@itsoutahere]

Hey Paddy do the Angel falls summit in Venezuela 🇻🇪

[@cityliving-rainforestperson]

Love it very much! Love the sound of the birds chirping in the background... makes me miss home...

[@jingscrypt4413]

Hairi Kintai .. he is one of the Malim Gunung that make an important decision to save climbers when mt Kinabalu earthquake struck on June 5, 2015 - A 5.9 magnitude at 7.15am, killing 19 people. send my regards to him from your biggest fan .. :) - Jingkung

[@RobRodin]

I am super proud of you Paddy for not giving up on your quest to reach the summit. Bravo! I've had altitude sickness and it's no picnic. Can't wait to see where and what you do next. Now head back to Thailand and spend some quality time with MS. P !

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Haha thanks sans yes absolutely 😊

[@ashishgusani]

Beautiful moments.. 4000m is no mean feat, proud of how far you have come and you continuing to push yourself mate.. a real inspiration! Maybe one day I will attempt it too..and to film through it makes it so much more difficult! Proud of you brother..

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thank you 🙌

[@Wanderlust.travelandcoffee]

Mate...you bloody legend. My heart rate was high just watching. I have had that feeling you went through, it's a little scary. Slowly you punched through it. Thanks for doing it for us! Super proud of you lad 👍👍

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Much appreciated 🙏❤️

[@AtmosJourney]

Thank you for showing Borneo to us. Your adventure is so remarkable 😊

[@afrizal1227]

Congratulations Paddy. This video is no short of amazing. It’s epic. I did the climb last year when I was 43 and didn’t managed to reach the summit because of muscle cramps. I’m glad you did. Proud of you. 👏🏼 👍🏼

[@sharonclarken922]

Watching this made me so emotional for the mental struggle you went through to push on to the summit. I can only imagine how tough it really was. Great job Paddy!

[@HarryAdee]

Awesome job. As a local here in Sabah, we always thought that people from the West, Europe, America etc would not have a problem with the cold weather, bcoz they live in a place with four seasons 😂. Anyway, so glad that you successfully reached the summit with very nice weather. I've climbed Mt Kinabalu 3 times and all three with heavy storms. You are lucky to have "Harry Potter" as your guide as well. And he did a very good job taking care of you. Congratulations!

[@kiwitraveler]

Well done on an epic climbing event.. I did the same about 20 years ago when I was 35 and it was a real challenge.. There weren't as many climbers and not so commercialised back then and whenever we passed a climber coming down the mountain we asked "How long is it till we reach base camp" it was always a cheerful 15 or 20 minutes :) The worst part of it for me was the last 100 meters to the top where I had to stop every 10 meters and catch my breath and then proceed.. I made it to the top and I would have got down on my hands and knees and crawled if I had to but thankfully I didn't have to.. You have done well and will remember this for the rest of your life and feel proud.. Its feels great to push ourselves when we get outside of our comfort zones

[@marriettalam2969]

Well done Paddy! I did the climb with Karl & friends. A tough climb but great achievement!

[@melissafrye76]

Next level, Paddy D! 🥰 Some might criticize for pushing through, but I think you did a good job listening to your body and managing things well so you could make it to the summit. Bravo! What a fun adventure!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thank you! 😊

[@diahiskandarbinmohamadjani7674]

I did this climb March last year...and this video brought so much memories. Tqvm for this video Paddy.

[@twinflowerfioretta]

Hello Paddy, Wow ! Outstanding challenge, my very big respect, you did it ! I was waiting for your adventure to go up to Mt. Kinabalu and now what a heroically remarcable climb and your guide is a real trooper with a warm heart. This video is the best ! Thank you so much Paddy D. you are fantatstic !❤👍

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks 👍

[@skye1719]

amazing Paddy, well done to you. The Borneo series was epic; can't wait for the next one x

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Paddy. Love the intro. Petrol pump dancing. Always makes me smile. Proud of you for pushing on. Pushing through that anxiety all your feelings. I felt nervous for you. Cute squirrels. Harry does speak English very well. Great to have a guide. It would be worrying you being alone. Congratulations to Harry on the birth of his little man. And Congratulations to your sister. How lovely. I am to be a nanny again. My firstborn and his wife are due in March. I love how honest you are about your feelings. It will help so many people. The trees are beautiful. I Love how you soak every part of nature in. Human taxi. Never seen that. I think the anxieties you had. Are normal. Considering the weather you have been dealing with. You had your angels. Watching over you. Perfect weather on day one of your hike. Amazing footage. Harry was right to push on. I think sitting and waiting a while would only build more anxiety. He is a great guide. Wow. Paddy. Beautiful. Harry is amazing. Doing this three times a week. Respect. Congratulations. Amazing. WhooPPP. Love this. Well done. Proud of you, mate. I can not wait to share. Wonderful series. Love your videos.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks Nicky, It was a HARD hike indeed, glad you enjoyed it~!

[@davko777]

Thanks Paddy. Wonderful experience, I really vicariously could be transported to your journey up Mt.Kinabalu. Great video and quite enjoyable!

[@skphang7103]

Beautiful ❤ Thank you for sharing this and so glad you made it 💪🏼

[@seechunchong9876]

Fantastic Job, Paddy. Well done. Thanks

[@AmberJones-br4uk]

So proud of you Paddy! It was worth it for the epic views at the top.

[@walternyc]

Epic. Glad you made it, looks awesome.

[@WinnieChaffee]

My goodness, I was so nervous when I watched this video. I wasn't sure if you could make it or not. But you did it. I'm so proud of you!!!!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks so much Winnie ❤

[@genageeraert8039]

I’m proud of you for pushing through. What a epic journey.

[@jocko_]

Awesome video 👏🏽 Just found your channel and I anticipate I will be binging on all of your vids. Great stuff!

[@flymoon24]

Well done Paddy! I am sure there will be many more adventures in store for you. Excellent video!

[@eediotlau]

Thanks for the video, I'm going to Mt Kinabalu in November, your video is so inspiring. Even though little setback (rain)(altitude sickness), but you made it to the top! Congratulations, BRAVO. I hope when I go there I'll have the great weather as you get, & enjoy the beautiful scenery as you seen. You can do it, so can I. To the Low's Peak I target!!

[@yewbtang1848]

Congratulations Paddy! Well done! A tough climb but the feeling of accomplishment at the summit is priceless!

[@wadawads]

Scratching some peaks off now Paddy, well done.. great video!

[@rcBorneo]

Well done Paddy! Slow and easy you have conquered Mt. Kinabalu! Beautiful mountain, beautiful scenery and you have captured it well in the video. Cheers!

[@teomai]

Congratulations Paddy for conquering Mount Kinabalu. I hope you have a great fond of memories here in Borneo Sabah, Land Below the Wind. Yes, Sabah is called the Land Below the Wind. Mount Kinabalu is the third-highest peak of an island on Earth and UNESCO World Heritage status. Please come again to Sabah in the future and if you're wondering, I'm Sabahan. Thank you for the wonderful video of Sabah.

[@chickenluck]

Howay! Congrats on reaching the summit! One of my bucket lists!

[@jimsinthailand]

Awesome!

[@nezyongvlog]

[@alex-daro]

Well done paddy. Inspiring.

[@bronwynquinn4477]

Oh well done Paddy! You and Harry are legends! You should be so proud of yourself!!! a what a wonderful series!

[@einarrsflower]

You did it!! Yayyyy!

[@WushuTaz]

Well done Paddy. I can only imagine the joy of this accomplishment. Due to my heart disease I'll probably never be able to experience something like this. I really appreciate you grinding it out for those of us who can only watch in awe.

[@shelleyhelmond]

Great job Paddy! How you kept going with the altitude sickness was quite inspiring. Not sure I could have. Keep up the great content 👏

[@matslarsson3694]

LOVE IT!!!

[@tropicalplantguy]

Good work Paddy!

[@danielj3010]

Glad you made it, such a tough journey!!

[@davidbollaerts4705]

[@cherrytomato1462]

I love how you can talk continuously while hiking is super impressive!Im climbing Mt Kinabalu in November and i would really appreciate the packing list for your hike if u could share!

[@hannahd79]

So inspiring Paddy!

[@janeturnbull]

Well done! You are a hero 😊

[@ericrichards6252]

Excellent effort, mate. I note your subscriber numbers are creeping up - quite right and well deserved 👍

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Many thanks!

[@cryptotrader2779]

Superb job Paddy. Thoroughly enjoyable video too. Seriously doubt I'd have made it to the first hut with those almost vertical stairs, never mind the top. Stellar effort.

[@edwhitehouse2779]

Well done, Paddy!

[@spence.t]

Way to push through, Paddy! Absolute legend. Those views are beautiful

[@leeconte2423]

Wow, you did it! Huge congrats Paddy on conquering Kota Kinabalu summit!

*Mount Kinabalu Kota Kinabalu is Sabah's capital city☺

[@voonjanted5043]

This is a slow-pace video showing the sceneries around the trail to the summit, good job done, I have climbed this mountain once in year 2000, views at the summit is just fantastic!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@theoldfisherman6626]

Thank you Paddy for a fantastic video, you should be very proud

[@JoseMunoz-om6hl]

Good job Paddy!

[@GoWithJingJo]

I far prefer your videos when you’re happy and motivated but I loved this one mate. Even through your vulnerability and unmotivation at the start your warmth still shone through and it was great to see you come alive. Well done mate.

[@AuntyJack123]

Well done Paddy I bet you are totally stoked you completed the climb 🎉 Woohoo victory over the mountain. There are some medications that help with altitude sickness symptoms. I had this quite bad at only 2500m so I am a bit of a wuss now and avoid anything very high for travel. Anyhoo well done 👍

[@RichHarmer]

Way to go Paddy! That looks so hard. I actually have been training for a year on the treadmill including incline to do some mountain climbs but I was only planning to do Thailand mountains. :)

[@PaddyDoyle.]

You can do it!

[@xhasinax]

Wow, wow, wow amazing video and views. Super proud of you 👏 Thank you so much for what you do 🙏 taking me to awesome places and doing things that I just couldn't do. The best travel channel on KZbin! I would love to know how you felt emotionally and physically in the days after that spectacular hike .

[@lz.4fun]

Awesome! congratz for reaching the peak even with the challenges. Strong and brave indeed

[@OHANA-Beach-Suites-CDO]

Wow! Good job!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks!

[@MichMichMe]

“…Leisurely 6 hour hike”. Well done Paddy! That climb with the altitude? Wow! So glad you conquered it. Really loved tour guide Harry as well. What a legend! And I think your experience brings a wonderfully different meaning to “nice guys finish last”. Truly a beautifully documented, exciting and informative series! Can’t wait to see what’s next, as well as the unveiling of your new channel! 🎉 -Cheers!

[@gertdrok]

Paddy, You are a Hero to do this climbing. 🙏

[@leeleng1458]

Well done,Paddy! What an epic journey to the summit,extremely proud of you. And a big thumbs up for Harry too.

Proud of you.. congratulations 🎉👏

[@shellylander]

Anxiety is a beast sometimes. I'm sorry that you (or anyone) has to deal with anxiety attacks. It is awesome you were able keep going!! I liked seeing what the base camp looked like. And last note, I would have to be carried like that person was. Carry me please. 😆😆

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Haha thanks 🙏 😊

Congrats! U made it!!

So proud!! Inspiring really!! 😊

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thank you so much!!

[@KenrickWidjaja]

Awesome video!! It was a pleasure meeting you. My hamstring was so tight after the climb 😂. Anyway looking forward to your next adventure….

[@anniainsworth4296]

Well done Paddy!!! You did it 👏👏👏

[@Mod-man]

Well done Paddy! Fantastic effort! Now you have a good idea of what to expect if you decide to trek to the Everest base camp. This will seem like a walk in the park in comparison. Having a guide on that trek isn't such a bad idea after all. Looking forward to seeing you back in Sri Lanka. Take Care. Cheers, Stef

[@Reardon_Explores]

Wow! The guide's leg muscles are truly impressive and most of all, natural. Makes me second-think about the gym haha. Anyways, great video series Paddy. Always cinematic and relaxing to kick it back and watch a next-level adventure series!

Wow, Paddy! I am SO glad that you didn't give up! I am super proud of you! I know what altitude sickness feels like too; it does feel like you are going to die! I loved your Borneo series, thank you for sharing this with us! Some things in life are worth the hardship of the climb!

My pleasure

[@bellyhungry]

15 yrs of solo travel. That is impressive. You must have seen it all. I climbed Kinabalu ions ago when there were a lot less people and the base camp was not as well established. I recall the days after the descent, my legs felt like jello. I appreciate you sharing your personal experience - both physically and mentally.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Noooo so much to explore

[@earthlyeasel7807]

I am extremely proud of you. Love from Sabah, Malaysia

wow very nice experience friend

[@shamsulahmad906]

Well done Paddy ❤

[@paramedicinparadise9795]

Great Video and good info about hike. Several other KZbinrs have also recommended Borneo Calling guide outfit so looks like that is who I will book with. Planning to climb 5 or 6 mountains in SE Asia in spring 2024, Mt Apo, Mt Mayon, Mt Kinabalu, Jade Mtn or Qilai Mtn, Mt Hallasan, and round off with Doi Ithanon. You're living my dream. 👍

[@gobuktaragang]
