• Hiking up Malaysia's T...
A full documentation of my hike up Malaysia's tallest mountain where I share my thoughts and tips on this amazing experience. We also did the via ferrata which is something I've never done before in my life. It felt very safe and you do not need any climbing experience to attempt this. You do however have to be of decent physical fitness.
Anyways, feedback needed!
I added subtitles to my vlog for the first time. Please let me know if you think it is useful and if I should do so for my future videos.
I also feel like I focused a lot on being informative that I neglected the entertainment part. Please let me know if you feel that this video is boring and I would take note and try not to repeat that mistake in future videos. Cheers!
If you enjoyed this video, I have also uploaded a highlight reel of my Mount Kinabalu hike experience and you might want to check it out here - • Hiking up Malaysia's T...
P.s.The company that I engaged for this hike is Borneo Calling. I would totally recommend their services. Check out their tour packages here.

Good review. I was there 18-19 Dis 2020 and also did the via ferrata LPC hike. Starting at 7am and finished around 9.50am. It is very hard and challenging. I didn’t have a drink the whole time while doing via ferrata because I used all my water otw to the summit. It made me suffer a bit but I made it to Laban Rata Safely before 10.30am even with a shaky legs

@BernardLau1991

I didn't do any special training and I think it would be manageable even as a first hike but I would highly recommend you to condition yourself walking with a backpack before the trip or go for long runs. You will suffer less during the hike that way haha

Hey, thanks for your kind words. Glad it helped. Yes you can get porters to carry your bag. I believe that charge based on per bag and each bag cannot exceed a certain weight. 20kg I think?

At the bottom it wasn't too bad. Just a T shirt while hiking would be sufficient. But when sleeping at the base camp, it get's cold. I would recommend having a down jacket and a base layer. Hope this helps !

@BernardLau1991
@BernardLau1991 9 ай бұрын
well as you can see in the video, I wasn't exactly well prepared hahaha. I was pretty tired by the hike. Ideally, I want to be fit enough to do the hike feeling slightlytired but not exhausted. A good way to train up is hiking more and conditioning yourself with a bagpack that is heavy. All go for runs. Anything that is endurance based. Lower body gym sessions would help too :)

Thank you very much for such a detailed video, Bernard! I'm planning to visit Malaysia this month and hiking Mount Kinabalu is on the itinerary. My bf and I are planning to do the Via Ferrata and I was expecting just the "Walk the Torq" route, but he's booking the "Low's Circuit", and I have to admit it looks super scary from your footage! Were you scared? Also as you had to summit by 6am and be at the Low's Circuit meeting point at 7am, did you feel like you had sufficient time at the top to enjoy the sunrise and views?
@BernardLau1991
@BernardLau1991 2 жыл бұрын
Hey no problem. Thanks for watching :) I would say go for low circuit for the full experience. It would be worth it. And… as for whether I’m scared. I’m someone who used to have a fear of heights. Up till now, I can’t take roller coasters. But during this, I genuinely felt very safe and maybe it was the adrenaline but I didn’t feel a tinge of fear. As for enjoying the sunrise, yeah I didn’t get the time. I was very slow to reach the top and I think I had less than 5 mins there sadly. Like the ideal itinerary would be to do 3d2n and separate the summit push and via Ferrata. But it was worth missing out imo. Hope this helps!

Hi! If you don’t work out regularly or have via ferrata experience I’d recommend you just do walk the torq. Im a girl in my mid twenties, have average fitness and a lot of experience with hiking but I found the low’s circuit too much of a stretch for me physically to enjoy the whole process. To enjoy the low’s circuit, I’d say you need to train your arm strength especially prior to your trip. Tbh I’ve never felt so physically drained in my life and it was definitely beyond my physical limits. We only had 10-15min on the summit and had to hurry back down. There wasn’t sufficient time to take nice photos or to soak in our triumph. Scary or not - that’s quite personal and subjective! Adrenaline is what will keep you going.
@gypsyqzy
@gypsyqzy 2 жыл бұрын
Also, to put things in perspective, there were only 8 hikers out of the 170 permitted on the hike daily who were crazy enough to do the low’s circuit! Out of all of them my husband and I were the slowest - we took 5 hours and I think I was the “weakest”, while my husband was trying to overcome his fear of heights 😂 take into consideration this is time spent draining energy (easily 5 times more difficult than the summit climb) instead of time spent recharging for the descent.
@gypsyqzy
@gypsyqzy 2 жыл бұрын
So to sum it up, will you be able to do it? Yes I think you can with some endurance and preparation. Will you enjoy it? That’ll depend on your fitness level and how you wish to enjoy your trip - is it to push and climb more or is it to take your time to soak in your surroundings?

It’s the highest mountain in Sabah where its people VOTED through a democratic process sanctioned by the UN to be part of the Malaysian Federation. It’s not just based on an empty claim of some past “royal family” of a defunct kingdom who think that they have rights over the wills of the Sabahan peoples. It’s completely outrageous and outright arrogance!
