Before you climb 1) Book a guide, porter (if wanted) and accommodation at the overnight Mt. Huts, through the Park's Head Office in Kota Kinabalu. Reservations cannot be made at the Park Head-quarters itself. Also book transport to take you to the end of the Power Station Road where the climb starts if you do not have your own car. 2) Come to the Park Naturalists programmes at Park Head- quarters, they will tell you about the climb and advise you what to take. The programmes are FREE so do take advantage of them. 3) Make sure you have good shoes. Tennis or gym shoes are fine. 4) Bring enough warm clothing. the temperature can fall to below freeinq point at night. Pack all clothes in plastic bags to keep them dry in case of rain. Sleeping bags are provided at the Mt. Huts. 5) Bring something wind and water-proof. 6) Take a waterbottle with you. 7) Take some high-energy foods for the climb. e.g. chocolate, nuts, raisins. Glucose sweets are good. 8) Have a good torch-light. 9) Bring gloves and a hat. If you get wet on the way up you will need a complete set of dry clothes and a second pair of shoes or a pair of sandals. Headache tablets, paper tissues, a couple of plastic bags and some plasters for cuts or blisters are all usefull. |
