Mountain Torq's Via Ferrata @ Mount Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo
The World's Highest (3776m a.b.s.l) And Asia's First Via Ferrata at Mount Kinabalu
WHAT IS VIA FERRATA?
A via ferrata (or 'iron road' in Italian, plural via ferrate) is a protected mountain pathway consisting of a series of rungs, rails, cables and bridges embracing the rock face. It allows access to scenic sections of the mountains that are typically available only to rock climbers and mountaineers.
VIA FERRATA CLIMBING
An Activity for Everyone
The Mt Kinabalu via ferrata is devised to give climbers with little or no climbing experience access to rock faces normally reached by mountaineers and rock climbers. The minimum requirements needed for the first time via ferrate climber are:
* Average fitness level (Able to hike up to 3,200m in 6 hrs)
* At least 10 years old and 1.3meters tall
* Do not have a fear of heights or are willing to conquer their fear of heights
The Mt Kinabalu via ferrata routes are designed with beginner and intermediate climbers in mind.
* There is a via ferrata route to match everyone's ability and endurance.
* Beginner climbers can take their first experience along the granite walls of Mt Kinabalu. A journey of 2 to 3 hours.
* Intermediate climbers embark on a 4 to 5 hours journey to experience the challenge of mountaineering and the lesser seen side of the mountain's breathtaking heights and sights. * The diversity of via ferrata routes means there is something for everyone -- whether he or she is 10 or 70, a keen mountaineer or a casual holidaymaker.
ACCOMMODATION FOR VIA FERRATA CLIMBERS

ONE OF THE HARDEST HIKES I'VE DONE! (Mt. Kinabalu via Ferrata, Sabah, Malaysia)
We decided to do Mt. Kinabalu via Ferrata just after Christmas, and boy it was definitely a hike to remember! To reach Low’s Peak only takes 2 days and 1 night, but it is a lot harder than people think it really is. The trek up to the summit is approximately 9km, with a total ascent of 2,220m. It’s a long uphill struggle the whole way!
When you reach the top, you are fatigued, and there is no mercy on your legs as you have to endure the same distance and steepness but this time, going down.
You want the perfect leg day workout? Come to Mt. Kinabalu.
The adventure is definitely worth it. Mt. Kinabalu is one of every hiker’s bucket list. It has beautiful vegetation, holding approximately 6,000 species of plants, 326 species of birds and more than a hundred mammalian species. Mount Kinabalu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the 20th most prominent mountain in the world by topographic prominence.

Trekking Mount Kinabalu + Via Ferrata 2014
My second time climbing Mount Kinabalu, Ling's first, this trek sure brought back memories of my summit 20 years old. Standing at a height of 4095m, trekking Mount Kinabalu was tedious, tiring, cold, wet, hot, painful, sweaty, breathless, but nevertheless enjoyable.
This memorable trip won't be complete without great company and awesome feasting (not shown in video). Thanks to trekking kakis Chuan, Ada, Yili, Yong En, Jieh-Yi, Sok Bee, Sharon, Bikram, Jeff, CK, Alex, and especially to Ling, my soulmate and wife.
This video is a narration of our trek and via ferrata.
23 to 24 October 2014.

Watch our journey up the highest mountain in South East Asia, Mount Kinabalu. This was a spur of the moment decision for us and we were very unprepared for this climb in regards to our gear, as we were on a 3 month backpacking trip through the area. Nonetheless, it was an amazing climb, and an epic adventure!

Mount Kinabalu (Malay: Gunung Kinabalu) is a mountain in Sabah, Malaysia. It is protected as Kinabalu Park, a World Heritage Site. Kinabalu is the highest peak in Borneo's Crocker Range and is the highest mountain in the Malay Archipelago as well as the highest mountain in Malaysia. Mount Kinabalu is also the 20th most prominent mountain in the world by topographic prominence.
In 1997, a re-survey using satellite technology established its summit (known as Low's Peak) height at 4,095 metres (13,435 ft) above sea level, which is some 6 metres (20 ft) less than the previously thought and hitherto published figure of 4,101 metres (13,455 ft).
Mount Kinabalu includes the Kinabalu montane alpine meadows ecoregion in the montane grasslands and shrublands biome. The mountain and its surroundings are among the most important biological sites in the world, with between 5,000 and 6,000 species of plants, 326 species of birds, and more than 100 mammalian species identified. Among this rich collection of wildlife are famous species such as the gigantic Rafflesia plants and orangutans. Mount Kinabalu has been accorded UNESCO World Heritage status.
Low's Peak can be climbed by a person in good physical condition and there is no need for mountaineering equipment at any point on the main route
