Laura and I climbed Mount Kinabulu over the past two days. It was incredible!!! We started hiking early on day 1 to beat the crowd going up. We were the first to leave and the first to arrive at Laban Rata, our accomidations for the night. It took us 4 hours(quicker than the average person, we were told). We had lunch and dinner at Laban Rata and shared accomidations with an English couple, the four of us slept in a room about the size of a phone booth. We set our alarms for 2:00am in the moring to set off for our summit push. It took us about 2 and a half hours to reach the summit (4300ish meters). We were at the summit at 4:50 am and had to wait almost an hour in zero degree weather with blistering winds for the sunset. Laura put every article of clothing she owned on and still was freezing. It was worth it though. It was amazing, one of the best experiences of our lives.
