Lina and Dina… at the top of Mount Kinabalu! Due to our tight time schedule, we didn't have too much time to sit around

 

Needless to say the way down was a bit rocky

 

 

hello! we are happy because there is more air down here

 

finding good footing was challenging at times

The rope came in handy much more frequently on the way down

 

almost back to the tree line

 

The way down was challenging in the muddy way, great for your knees

 

Bringing a whole new meaning to double bagging

 

We made it! Kinabalu in 1 day!

 

As a reward… our first bottle of wine in 5 months
