In the pre-dawn light all seems eerie, surreal, unearthly — a hostile world of barren rock and plunging depths that breathes a lonely, aching beauty. In the darkness you can just make out fingers of towering rock clawing at the sky. They look tortured and the wind feels like the icy breath of the spirits all around you. But then, the sun begins to rise and the scene is slowly bathed in early morning light. The black peaks give way to shades of grey and then pink as the sun greets the day. The ghostly cloud that has been pouring over a nearby mountain top slowly disappears and far, far away the lush green scenery of Sabah emerges. It’s a dazzling world of desolate beauty — the meeting place of earth and sky, human and spirit. Or maybe it’s the dizzying height that is making me so whimsical. Because here at 4095m the air is thinner and altitude can muddle the mind. Some say the name Kinabalu stems from the Kadazan words Aki Nabalu, which mean “the revered place of the dead”. Another theory about the mountain’s name is it comes from the words Kina, meaning China, and balu, meaning widow. A Kadazandusun legend describes how a Chinese prince scaled the mountain to find a huge pearl at the top, guarded by a ferocious dragon. The prince slew the dragon, stole the pearl and married a Kadazan woman before abandoning her and fleeing to China. His heartbroken wife wandered to the mountain to mourn where, according to legend, she turned to stone. Whatever the case, there’s an enchanted feel to this peak, the highest in South-East Asia. And such is its appeal that about 150 people attempt its summit every day. Indeed, anyone intending to make the climb should book early to secure a place. You must pay for a guide to join you and, unless you’re ultra fit and intend to do the climb in a day, you’ll need to book a bed at the lodge about three-quarters of the way up the mountain. The climb starts at the Kinabalu National Park headquarters. Here you’ll see a board showing the record times in which people have scaled the mountain. The record is around 2 1 /2 hours — up and back again. Just a couple of hours, surely we won’t need two days to achieve the same distance? The climb begins in the way it continues to the summit — straight up. There are no plateaus, no declines, simply a winding, almost vertical path of steps, dirt and rocks. It starts in the womb of the jungle, an enchanting world of thick mosses, ferns, trees and tangled undergrowth. Here all is damp and dark, the sunlight filtering through in shafts of shifting light. Native squirrels dart across the track and up trees, the occasional bird flits across your path and orchids and pitcher plant flowers adorn the trail beside you. This is the kind of place where you’d imagine fairies and goblins live, a storybook world of natural magic. However, as you ascend, the jungle begins to thin and take on a more alpine appearance. You’re at the height of the clouds which envelop the mountain, hanging in a dense mist in the valleys and cloaking the scenery in hazy white. You almost feel as though you’re walking in a trance. And then, suddenly, the clouds shift and the height of the mountain emerges in the sun. Cameras out, sunnies on and then, just as quickly, the clouds return. Trudging on, you stop at huts positioned every kilometre along the way. They provide a welcome excuse to catch your breath. Soon you’re happy to stop anywhere, on a rock, leaning over a rail. Or you have the excuse of stopping to admire the scenery. After around 4 1 /2 hours of climbing, you stumble into the lodge where you’re to spend the night, or part of it. The accommodation is basic but the food is hearty and the view is mind-blowing. It is well above the clouds and you can see all the way to the coast. It’s strange to realise these distant scenes are bathed in humid tropical heat — a stark contrast to the cool air of the mountain. Then, as the sun begins to set, distant storm clouds put on a magnificent performance, turning an ever-deeper pink and occasionally glowing fiery bright as lightning rips through the sky. Come 1.30am and the lodge is abuzz with activity as climbers prepare in the dark to make the final assault on the summit. This is where things start looking serious — one pair of Japanese climbers brings out silver thermal pants, some Malaysians don army fatigues and there are Americans sporting their best in trendy mountaineering gear. Then there’s a rag-tag group of Australians in sneakers, jeans and an odd selection of borrowed items recommended for mountainous heights. With head torches on, around 150 people leave at staggered times, aiming to reach the summit by sunrise. A line of head torches reveals the lines on the mountain, otherwise shrouded in darkness. The vegetation is all gone, replaced by sheer, desolate rock. Ropes drilled into the rock help guide the way and provide something to hang on to and steady yourself on particularly sheer sections of the climb. The slope gets steeper and steeper and the air ever thinner. Soon one foot is barely placed in front of the other. Doubts creep in, surely this is no way to spend your holiday? But then, just when we think we can’t take another step, the summit is before us. It’s a rocky, triangular peak — just like you’d imagine a peak to be. After a photo at the top we huddle together out of the wind, awaiting sunrise. It’s freezing cold and the stars still shine bright in the sky. Then, as the morning slowly lightens, the scene loses its harshness and the full extent of the mountain’s beauty is revealed. Vast expanses of rock materialise in the light, sweeping up towards neighbouring peaks in frozen waves. And pools of dark water turn pink as they reflect the soft dawn light. Suddenly we’re glad to have climbed in the dark. If we’d seen such an imposing scene from far below, surely we would have deemed ourselves incapable of making it. But made it we have and the sense of achievement is exhilarating. But it’s still really cold and there’s the whole way down — a marathon of jarring steps — before us. Pulling our beanies down, we leave the peak. Days later, we pass the foot of the mountain again and shake our heads in disbelief. Was that really us up there, in that distant otherworld, standing triumphantly at the top of the mountain?
