Gunung Kinabalu
| ihsan google |
Seindah namanya begitu lah wajah akinabalu yang terpampang dari kejauhan hinggalah menjejakkan kaki ke dada gunung kinabalu..Dengan ketinggiannya yang mencapai 4095.2 meter dari atas laut.Gunung Kinabalu merupakan gunung paling tinggi di Asia Tenggara dan untuk mendaki gunung yang tertinggi di Malaysia perlu latihan naik bukit dan joging selama 6 bulan untuk diri saya.Latihan yang saya lakukan tak lah 7 hari seminggu adakalanya dalam seminggu satu atau dua kali sahaja.Stamina dan rasa keyakinan yang tinggi akhirnya membawa kita hingga ke puncak Low's Peak.Dengan semangat itu lah saya berjaya sampai ke puncal Low's peak sebanyak 7 kali dan tiba di puncak sebelum jam 5 pagi.Adat apabila hujan lebat keadaan gunung sangat berbahaya dan licin,pernah sekali semasa pendakian ke empat semasa turun di km 6,kaki saya terpeliat akibat salah pijak batu yang licin dan akhirnya saya di papah oleh dua orang guide.Guide ne bukan guide group kita diorang masih di belakang .terima kasih banyak-banyak pada guide tersebut.
Pendakian bermula pada jam 2 pagi dari asrama Gunting Lagadan atau pun Laban Rata dan sebaiknya tidur awal pada malam untuk mencukupkan tenaga.:).Sebaiknya makan sedikit sarapan pagi dan bawa air mineral dan juga coklat untuk bekalan di sepanjang perjalanan.Pastikan torchlight yang di bawa berfungsi dan guna bateri yang baru.Semasa pendakian ke puncak pastikan sepasang gloves extra di sediakan,mana lah tahu dalam pendakian tersebut hujan.Jangan lupa pakai topi..
Sepanjang pendakian menuju ke Low's peak ada tempat pendakian yang sangat bahaya dan curam.Pastikan kita sentiasa berpegang pada tali yang di sediakan di sepanjang pendakian tersebut.Berhati-hati dengan langkah kita kerana ada batuan yang licin.Pendakian 30 minit pertama sangat mencabar buat diri saya di sebabkan perubahan suhu yang sejuk.Di sini kekuatan fizikal dan mental perlu kuat,jika tidak kita akan berpatah balik.Untuk meneruskan kita teruskan langkah dan tarik nafas dan hembus nafas sekiranya perlu berhenti sekejap dan tarik nafas,sekiranya angin datang sila cari batu batu besar untuk melindungi diri dari kesejukan tersebut.Windbreaker yang di pakai adakalanya tidak dapat melindungi dari pada rasa kesejukan tersebut.Selepas satu jam pendakian saya tiba di sayat-sayat.Di sini kita boleh berehat selama 10 minit dan meneruskan pendakian hingga ke puncak
Cara untuk mendaki ke Gunung Kinabalu ,boleh tempah melalui travel ejen yang sah di sekitar Asia city,Api-api Centre,Kampung Air, dan Sabah tourism.Untuk pengangkutan boleh sewa kereta atau pun ikut kenderaan awam dari Kota Kinabalu ke Ranau tambang bas sekitar rm 25 dan taxi rm30.
Jom kita lihat gambar-gambar yang masih tersimpan dalam memory card samsung dan nikon camera..
