Highlights
A 2D1N adventure to the summit of Mount Kinabalu with a challenging "via ferrata" detour on the way back down! Your ascent to Low's Peak (4095m asl) will be made on the same trail as all climbers but after sunrise you will literally throw yourself over the edge of the mountain (in a harness!) and make your way back to the accommodation via a series of rungs, cables, bridges & ladders drilled into the rock face on Mount Kinabalu. See a whole different side of the mountain and one you are sure not to forget for a while! No experience of rock climbing or mountaineering is required but a head for heights, decent stamina and a sense of adventure will definitely help! Low's Peak Circuit via ferrata takes around 3-4 hours to complete.
