Mt KK Climb

Joined a corporate trip over the last weekend for a climb at Mt. Kota Kinabalu. It was a fabulous trip, great weather this round relative to my previous climbs. This would be my 4th time at Mt KK. Not that I particularly loved the place. But it was the closest mountain with some decent altitude exposure, so I treated it as part of training for future climbs. We went by Mersilau and descended to Timpohon. Everyone did rather well, considering there were many first timers in our group of 27. 25 made it to the summit.

Time check for the first group, we were right in front:
Mersilau to Laban Rata - about 6h
Laban Rata to Low's Peak - 2.5h (too fast! had to wait an hour in the dark for sunrise)
Laban Rata to Timpohon - about 4h (many were not very confident in going down fast and the average pace slowed down)
