Sabah - Day 5

• Woke up at 1.30 am. It's still raining outside. Take a shower in the freezing water to adjust body temp with the outside temp.
• Had our supper at 2.00 am. Most of the climbers were ready. Waiting for green light from the park ranger to proceed with the climb to summit. Outside still raining.
• 3.00 am, still no green light. Outside, temperature dropped to as low as 6 degree. Heavy rain and strong wind.
• 4.30 am, still no change. There's no way we can proceed to the summit due to the bad weather. =(. If proceed, it will be damn risky to the climbers and also guides.
• 5.00 am, confimed that the climb to summit need to be cancelled. Went back to our room to continue our sleep.
• 6.30 am, still raining outside but not as heavy as before. So, decided to try to climb to the furthest we could go. And, Gunting Lagadan is the highest point we can reach. The gate to proceed to Sayat2 check point already closed.
• 7.00 am, had our breakfast and get ready for the descend.
• 8.45 am, start our journey descending Mt. Kinabalu. The wind was so damn strong. At one point I almost felt down the cliff due to the wind. Fuhh!!
• 3.30 pm, arrived back at Timpohon gate. The car was ready to take us back to Kota Kinabalu.
• On the way back to KK, made a few stops at: Jambatan Tamparuli and Yayasan Sabah building for photo ops.
• Had our dinner at One Borneo, one of the largest mall at KK.
• Checked in at Ruby Hotel. Washed up. And went out to check out the night market before called it a day.
