Mt Kinabalu - Hike Back Down to Laban Rata

It was beautiful seeing what we had just hiked up in the morning light.  Though the rock was slippery… and the descent was slow.

looking back to the peak - notice the size of people for prespective

The Summit @ Low’s Peak

We had perfect weather at the summit.  It was cold, but not freezing.  And the skies were mostly clear, with just enough clouds to give perspective & help color the red morning sky.

There were probably about 100 people up at the top… of all ages & ethnicities.  The oldest person to climb the mountain to date was 81 years old.
