Mount Kinabalu / Gunung Kinabalu
Mount
Kinabalu in malay Gunung Kinabalu is a prominent mountain on the island
of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It is located in the East Malaysian state
of Sabah and is protected as Kinabalu Park, a World Heritage Site.
Kinabalu is the highest peak in Borneo's Crocker Range and is the
highest mountain in the Malay Archipelago. Mount Kinabalu is also the
20th most prominent mountain in the world by topographic prominence. Via
ferrata (or iron road in Italian), is a mountain path consisting of a
series of rungs, rails and cables embracing the rock face. There are
more than 300 via ferrata routes around the world and the world's
highest via ferrata, can now be found on Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia,
whereby the highest point starts at 3,400 m and ends at 3,800 m. This is
the first time that the sport of via ferrata climbing is being
introduced in Asia.
An
activity for everyone, the via ferrata is devised to give people with
little or no climbing experience access to rock faces normally reached
by mountaineers and rock climbers.There are several requirements for one
to take part in the via ferrata activity, including having an average
fitness level, being able to hike up to 3,200m in 6 hours, being at
least 10 years of age, being at least 1.3 metres tall; and, especially,
having a fearlessness of heights (or willing to conquer their fear of
heights). This is a challenging adventure, and those interested to
experience via ferrata on Mount Kinabalu should note that the beginner's
route will let the climber take their first experience along the
granite walls of Mount Kinabalu (a journey of about 2–3 hours). The
intermediate route will let the climber experience a 4- to 5-hour
journey, which will reward the climber with a breathtaking view of the
heights and sights.

Kinabalu
Park, the entrance to Mount Kinabalu, is located at 1,585 metres above

to the top of Mount Kinabalu. It covers an area of 754sq km and is made
up of Mount Kinabalu, Mount Tambayukon and the foothills. The mountains
have a fascinating geological history, taking 'just' a million years to
form. The mighty Mount Kinabalu is actually a granite massif that was
later thrust upwards through the crust of the surface.
Subsequent
erosion removed thousands of feet of the overlying sand and mud stone,
exposing this massif. During the Ice Age, glaciers running across the
summit smoothed it out, but the jagged peaks that stood out above the
ice surface remained unaffected, retaining the extremely ragged
surfaces. This rugged mountain remains the focal point of the National
Park to this day
