Next week, I will be speaking at the “World Wealth Creation Conference”, and after getting a VIP ticket for myself (and my trainer), I have also acquired GOLD tickets for all my students.
To thank all my followers and supporters, I will be giving away the last 5 GOLD tickets ($597 USD) here, and all you need to do to claim your ticket is to follow these 3 simple steps:
This is actually not that physically demanding, but the real boring part was having to travel about 4-5 hours (one way) just to reach the river. This meant we had to wake up at 5.00am to be able to catch the morning transport out.
Survival tip: Make sure you have strong teammates who can paddle hard. :p
Expect to get wet, very wet. But make sure you do not gulp any of the toxic brown water.
Survival tip: When attacked by a crocodile, aim for its eyes with your paddle.
MOUNT KINABALU EXTREME EXPEDITION:
For this adventure, it is strongly recommended to do some training (which I neglected), if you do not want to be struggling just to reach the top like I was.
For those who are not so fit, do not try to be HERO and carry your own stuff up (like I did). You can get the porters to help you for a small fee.
Survival tip: The less you bring, the less you have, but the less you have to lug up the damn mountain!
6.20am – Bus pickup to travel to mountain base (2-3 hours)
9.30am – Started the 6km climb to the top (3-8 hours depending on fitness, I took 6.5hrs)
4.00pm – Reached the top just in time for the Ferrata briefing at Pandan Hut (our accommodation).
6.00pm – Dinner & rest (optional: shower with cold water). Temperature here is about 10-15 degrees celsius.
2.00am – Had a quick breakfast before heading off to scale the summit. Temperate is about 5 degress celsius.
6.00am – Reached the summit just in time for the sunrise. Proceeded to rush off to the starting point for the Ferrata activity.
7.30am – Experienced some minor earth tremors just as the activity was about to commence. Some people backed out. Delayed for about 30min.
8.00am – Commenced the Ferrata activity, which included a 600m mountain-side scaling exercise, 300m jungle bashing, and 300m of climbing up a sloping mountain surface. After the activity ended, there is a roughly 1 hour staircase trek back to Pandan Hut.
1.00pm – Had a quick lunch, and packed up my stuff to check out.
2.00pm – Commenced the hike down the mountain to catch the last bus at 6pm. (3-6 hours)
6.00pm – Made it just in time. Whew.
Roughly 36 hours of non-stop action! Yar, quite insane.
