my best bro steve ken my best sis ivana thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your cousin viki 💙
Nice
Without any formal exercise or training, I was nominated as a replacement for one of the climbing group members on 1.1.2000……to my surprise, I managed to reach the top of the mountain….
u must had millenium hike certificate on M.Kinabalu
Wow!! You are amazing💪
@@fazzmohd9388 : i was one of the first to receive the certificate but unfortunately it got lost because i moved house many times……the good news is, i have a lot of selfies up there as proof….☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
@@JetLagWarriors : I was young then, only in my 20s……naik gunung?….TIADA MASALAH
I can see how much frustrated Ivana was when the wheather was bad and dangerous to continue the mission to the summit. Anyway kudos to both of you for such good spirit & effort.
Mount Kinabalu - one for the memory! What an adventure. Thank goodness food was served properly up there with service staff wearing their chef hats.
Bro..from me..a survival guy view point....you made a right and smart decision not to go up especially all your cloth is wet, your body temperature will go down very quickly..is very dangerous, is really cold up there during wet and rain season, sometimes you even can see ice on the rock up there, it"s ok..you already make it to the hostel..do it next time 😁
Absolutely loved this video. Ivana you amaze me girl!! You are one tough cookie. 💪 You both kept smiling. What can be better than that !! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
Tough luck guys! I am 62, and I managed to scale Mt Kinabalu when I was working in Sabah in 1988. I feel very, very, very privileged when I compared my experience with my buddies who have not got the chance to do it. Anyway, better luck next time!
They said it's due to the La Nina phenomenon which is causing the rainfall in July, which is supposed to be the dry season in North Borneo now.
Would you climb Mount Kinabalu?🏔
Yes again💪
I hv climbed 5x already and i still have the passion to do it again. Love Sabah! The best state with natural beauty and people in Msia.
yes..went there 4x.
in the future..maybe not, I get too heavy to carry myself there lol.
I have climbed to the top 4 times. Every time I reached the top, I told myself that would be my last time as it was so challenging. My last time to the top was 5 years ago, and now thinking of going up again, ha ha. The views from the top during the sunrise is so amazing!
Not me..sorry.. 😂
I thought Canadians are tough! Never fails to amaze me Canadians.
Reminds me of the time I drove my Canadian cousin from Kuching to KK in 2 days ( no Pan Borneo Highway) and was late to Timpohon Gate and he was adamant to climb it still so the guides relent on the condition that he can climb it in 2 hours to Laban Rata. Literally ran up! Brett Logan you legend! The Guide too!
Wet conditions are tough, so much harder to climb Kinabalu. You'll come back and finish it off next year! We'll crowdfund your climb up!
Sorry that you guys were unlucky with the weather. You also really need a fully waterproof jacket and hiking boots for this mountain (which I'm sure you're aware of now!) but it sounds like you wouldn't have had a great view from the top anyway. What I also found interesting on this hike was the changes in flora as the altitude levels changed. Anyway, I guess it's something to come back to Sabah for another time and conquer it then!! :)
My second climb to Kinabalu was raining too.. my advice to those who want to climb, bring a smallest hair dryer you can get in the market. its very useful to heat up your body.
great advice!
That Was Awesome Bro!Kinabalu Mount here u come👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I love nature ❤️❤️❤️
Climb at your own pace 👍 at least you did it to laban rata. The rain is like making it crazy harder.
That porter is amazing...hiking up with almost a straight back..
The porters are really impressive. They go up to the rest house 2 or 3 times a day... and sometimes they carry construction stuff (cement bags or big steel girders.) It's really humbling to be struggling on your way up with a small backpack, and have a porter pass you with a big smile on his face. They're really impressive
Well..all adventures can't be spectacular! Full marks for trying!!
Will definitely be watching it later this evening once again. Your videos are always perfect and interesting. Loved it too. Loved you guys again too. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thanks, Sharon!
As a Sabahan I went up there 3 times at around your age, twice succeeded and one failed. Weather is a huge factor to accomplish the climb. Not everyone conquers the peak in the morning can reach to the peak, hardest route is in the morning with freezing cold and low oxygen level. Hope you guys come back to visit Sabah again… great works!!!
thank you to you JetLag Warriors, I love you sharing your experience in this video.
Another superb video, guys! Very interesting..the halfway house is so well organized..what an array of dishes!! Don’t worry, pretty sure u will conquer the peak on ur second try..Ivana looks game for anything..Steve, follow the leader!! 👍👍😂😂
Congratulation! I knew you can do it..... although looks a little bit struggling. I hope you manage to reach the peak in future, flying your drone around the peak and captured an inspiration view with the Sun 🌄 rise back ground. Don't give-up....
Thank you Steve and Ivana (hope I've got your names right) thank you for making the video which I find really really helpful both you lovely folks gave very clear narrative of the actual conditions on the ground. I'll be hiking Mt. Kinabalu in about 2 weeks time and among all the videos on Mt. Kinabalu yours provided the most useful information and learning. I hope you had/will have the opportunity to hike to the top of Kinabalu. Humbly I thank you both🙏🏼. Cheers!...Morgan
I did it in Mar’22. Tough but doable. A must do experience💪😁. But was walking like a crab taking up/down stairs for the next couple of days😬
Congrats!!💪
Garbage bag is a good disposable rain or cold protector, light & easily disposed of when dry or hot. The winds can be strong, enough for any climbing to be stopped for safety - wind chill factor and stability. Same for rain - if too wet, maybe dangerous to summit. Last went up 18 yrs ago at 45 and unfit - took an hour for each rest area before arriving at the Rest House. Nearly didn't summit because the wind was near danger level. The heated Rest House enables you to warm up. A 21 yr old German PE student had altitude sickness at the rest house and had to leave the mt. The room looks the same - 2 wooden double bunks. The catering has since improved. Everything has to be portered up the mt. even the 30Kg gas tanks for cooking. Altitude can affect the taste buds. A black plastic bag can substitute for a jacket. Though your clothing were wet/damp, your body heat could dry it. It is not fog but clouds. It could be clear above. The path to the summit is very different because after 30 mns after the rest house , all vegetation disappears - only moss and ferns can survive the cold and the winds. If you push yourselves you could be warm enough. The descent is a knee killer. Looks like a day later, the weather was good.
I love this amazing and beautiful tour. Keep it up.
Emma from London
finally jeatlag in mount kinabalu,i can't wait👍
Shout out to Ivanna, i remembered a couple of years ago where she said hiking is not her thing (you guys were hiking/trekking one of the islands i think), reaching Laban Rata at that weather is a feat of itself! My first hike up there was in similar weather (plus we were hiking from mesilau gate which added 2 km).. i was soaking wet with bad cramp. my boots and jackets are soaking as well, and sure enough at 2 am i was like f it.. im going to continue sleeping in this freezing bed lol. Out of 12 in our team, 2 never reached labanrata, 3 didnt attempt the climb at 2am and only 3 reached the peak, with the 4 never reached sayat2 (last checkpoint).
I reached the peak on my second attempt though on different year... it was amazing
So, dont feel bad at all, you guys did an awesome job
You guys are great..👍👍
Great vlog mate. The weather looks like my home country Scotland.
If you're attempting a second attempt. Go for the Mesilau trail on the way up. Better views and more interesting trail than just climbing steps.
And you can do the Via Ferrata trail to the peak.....makes it more exciting.
Pro tip: Line the inner compartment of your backpack with xxl size garbage bag and pack your stuff inside it. In any instance or condition it will protect your stuff from getting wet.
No matter what kind of outdoor activity I do all my cloths and toiletries will be in separate plastic bags…. This is a must must especially in Malaysian weather. Get a proper poncho… some are made with pretty durable materials.. can get at Watson or guardian.
ah our stuff in the bags were ok. But we did not have waterproof jackets! That was the problem.
U should have 2 jackets Steve. 1 for each day.
I've been to the peak of mount Kinabalu around 20 years ago. Luckily the weather is very good. The night climbing also with full moonshine. You should enjoy the beautiful view.
was caught in the rain too ascending back in Oct 2017… a pair of waterproof shoes, fleece jacket and head torch will make the hiking much easier… The magnificent beauty of Mt. KK is portrayed on the $100 back note. Come back and visit again!
Terrific but great adventure....pretty tough though with that wet, muddy, soggy path leading up to the mountain. The rain made it even tougher but you guys were so adventurous and courageous. Great job, Steve lvana even though you both didn't make it to the top.
Great thumbnail and what a title to this amazing video !!! BRAVO guys 💪👏👍
Thanks so much Chaw CY!!😁
@@JetLagWarriors my pleasure, Steve lvana ❤️🥰
I managed to arrive at Lowe's Peak back 10 years ago. Having reflected back today I can say this one of the best things I ever did in my entire life.
During my varisity days (way back 1989-93), my U friend who embarked on climbing Mount Kinabalu will train every day for 3 months to build-up their stamina. Without enough stamina, sure koyak one. Huhu
Made to the peak when i was 17 on 2005 its a part of our school program before we graduate. Miss that memory soo much.......
Even if the weather was not good, the traking was awesome and the whole vlog was much more relaxing as that with the worms which gave me bad dreams!
Thats okay, you guys can try it again next time
oh noo!!! I hope you'll get to the summit some other time. well done!
Owww that was too bad guys. But still kudos to both of you, you still managed to reach around that 2.5km level after a somewhat gruelling 3km or more of climbing in adverse weather, with limited visibility, slippery ground, the rain pounding against you, and wet (hence heavier too!) clothes on your backs in a bone-chilling 8°c temperature! That wasn't easy but you both succeeded to reach laban rata, congrats! 👏
And I believe it was a wise decision too, to back off from proceeding further up with the disadvantages you two had, shouldn't push your luck too much 👍
Tbh, you guys did good. Hiking while vlogging & talking are very exhausting. 👍
Thank you!
Yes... Super duper hard
What a memory you guys ❤️
So much memories!
Please don't feel bad Ivana and Steve.
I too didn't manage to go to the peak despite it was "diamond weather" (super clear sky) but my knee was swelling when I reached Laban Rata and I ended up being left behind because it was too dangerous for me to go up with swollen knee.
(There were 3 Japanese who didn't make it too due to vertigo with the altitude so I didn't feel like a total loser)
However, when I was there it was only 3 deg C at the time and for every Malaysian it would be as bad as what you both are feeling on a rainy Mount KK day.
And yes, Laban Rata always have electricity problem and no hot water at the showers.
(however after almost 6 hours hiking and photo taking, my body is like a well heated engine where I couldn't even feel the cold water anymore, and wore shorts to sleep too - however I cannot say on rainy days....)
I think you went up with the Timpohon trail; which is the "shorter" (supposedly faster) but the hike is all the way up. I went up with Mesilau trail and came down using Timpohon trail so I saw both views. Mesilau trail has more in between flatter trail but it takes longer to arrive there.
I am happy at least you both get to see the beauty of Mount KK trails on the way down. Good trekking tips! I hope you both got the black and white certificate! It is supposed to show that you have reached the Laban Rata (1st camp). Summit's cert is colourful.
Do not feel bad Steve and Ivana, as you said weather is unpredictable, if it was me, I wouldn't continue the hike also. Next time, keep checking up when is the drought season(musim kemarau)/best time to climb Mount Kinabalu or at least not during the peak monsoon season(musim tengkujuh). I personally wish that both of you will plan another trip to climb the Mount Kinabalu, i want to see both of you successfully climb the Mount Kinabalu!! Love watching your vlogs, Steve is sooooo hilarious and Ivana just compliments it, both sweet and adorable together.
Just came across this video, brings back memories of my climb up.
Was lucky and blessed that the weather was good, had beers outdoors with the peak and blue skies as the background.
After the climb, I was wondering myself, why did I bring a poncho along? Now I see why.
Do come back to attempt it again, as it is worthwhile.
many memories here back on 2020, i conqured the mount kinabalu for the first time
I wore almost everything I own with boots and all during the night but it was still so freaking cold to the bone lol. But we managed to catch the sunrise and it was breathtaking.
Hope you guys will have another chance to hike and reach the summit next time ya.
Unlucky ya, You didn't make it to the peak coz of rain. I missed the mountain alot. It's so beautiful up there.
I had a same experience in 2018 where my shirt all wet and could not make it to the peak. Going to climb again next year. But you guys went by faith, awesome.
Good luck with your next climb!! Hope you get to see the peak🙏
The weather this year just gone crazy.. always raining doh.. maybe we try next time together 😂🥳
Yup Mt Kinabalu is halfway to Everest i.e. base camp, some people might forget that, dry cold gear is important... Better time next time, consider this as a prelude, training of sort ;)
Greetings guys…first & foremost, you guys didn’t chickened out as what you mentioned at the end of your video. You guys already won & conquered your capability compared to many others. It’s just another wrong timing of the weather only.
Ivana seems to be tougher than she looks too.
Great efforts comes from a great will & mindset.
Thank you for sharing, stay safe & healthy always.
Strong Warriors 💪
I climbed Mount Kinabalu in 1988 when i was 18. Once and forever.😆
Thanks for this video.. 🤔🤔🤔
Congratulations you have climbed Mt Kinabalu.. It's good to use adidas kampung but descending will be a bit painful for your toes..
Better luck next time Steve and Ivana. My suggestion is, try to climb Mount Kinabalu between mid June and end of July. That time is kinda hot months. Nice job to both of you 👍🏻
ah yeah, we just got bad luck. Thank you!
Enjoys your vacations guys
I think the highlight of the climb is to watch the sunrise early morning. The thrill is to always reach the peak whatever mountain we are climbing. Occasionally snow do form at the peak. It happened recently. Well done Steve n Ivana.
Good Try Steve And Ivana Congratz Mount Kinabalu.Next Time Hiking With Me Ok.Take Care Jakarta
Good try steve and ivana. Yeah the rain was the issue.
thank you.
It was so Near and yet so Far.
I conquered Mt Kinabalu on my 3rd try.
But don't be disheartened.
Better luck next time guys. Come again. The view is amazing up there. The thing u gotta do before hiking is put all your clothes inside a plastic bag or trash bag, just tie it tightly before u put it inside your bag. Your clothes will be dried even it raining on the way up. Work for me before.
It's okay maybe you guys can try next time hike until the peak. I did it and reach low's peak of Kinabalu mountain on 28th July 2011. The weather also same rainy day untill laban rata...freezing cold and to reach on top of the mountain I'm think I'm almost die. After effects from the hike almost a week my leg really hurt and painful I just can't even stand and see stairs and avoid any way possible used stairs. I think it's one the toughest hike in my life. 😅
What was the most challenging hike you have ever done?🥾
5 hills in a day.. keningau region in sabah. it was the day i found out, I'm afraid of falling/height- walking a 1 foot wide track uphill then downhill. i cried but i did it, and yes.. i won't repeat that ever.
Mt. Kosciuszko 😅
.. I only climbed halfway the epic Gunung Ledang or Mount Ophir in Johor the place where the legendary mystical Princess of Gunung Ledang resides. My right shoulder was hurting had to come down.
mt. kinabalu, 30 june 2022
i lost my toe nails coming down way bsck in 1995😅 but i summit that damn mountain with the rain and hail
Hopefully there will be a good weather when it our turn coming then. Try again next time.
We hope so too🙏
Know your limit, good decision made not to test that boundary. There is strong wind blowing in the exposed barren rock area which can cause hypothermia to hikers with wet clothing.
3:10 Improvise, adapt, overcome - Steve 🤣👍👍
March to May is drought season in Sabah. You may try again. Good luck.
Steve this my favourite place
Hopefully you enjoy the food there
Congrats to both of you even though it's half way only
Another reason to come back next year and repeat. No need to mock you guys. I would've done the same if I didn't have the proper dry jacket. Still, job well done!
Thank you!
Strong stamina & urs r the best
thank you
Next time climb Mount Kinabalu again👌until reach the summit. Unfortunate due to bad weather.🏔️
Awww...but you guys still did try! I can imagine how cold it is !
Good try
thanks Crystal!
It is quite difficult when it rains but it is even more difficult when the wind is strong
Guys…. Adidas kampung for kinabalu? And that poncho?? Like seriously? 😅😅😫😫… glad you guys came back down safe the weather looked so bad… the weather has just been so weird this year
Good tips, Ivana
Wow it must be hard. The pathway looks wet and slippery
it was super challenging😢
its good u not go to peak because your jacket is wet.. the temp at peak very cold can get 1 degrees plus the cold wind.. u can get hypertermia
Wouldn’t be able to catch your premiere later but will watch once I get back to Kuching. 😀
ooh safe travels!
❤️ u guys.Ivana is so cute
You can always comeback to conquer the summit anytime...
😊❤
ivana has magical power 😅❤️❤️
I"m sad you cannot make iit to the top..it is not due to your stamina..I belived with a proper hiking clothes.shoes...energy snack , it will help you physsically and mentally to go to the top..hope you will give another try in the future..you can do it
the view is amazing but the hiking is a pain
it's above the cloud. 😅❤️❤️
You guys just made Adidas Kampung famous.
Aren't you going back to Romania? You can hike in the Carpathians also.
Adidas Kampung 👍
How did it go?
It went sideways, and the rain too.
Gotcha....
12:27 , IVANA WIBOWO that's the name 🌹 😎
most hikers say that mount korbu is more challenging than kinabalu.
Did you guys look at the weather forecast before go up there?
Never mind... Can try again next time😊
Thanks for bringing me up there coz i'll never reach it😂😂🤣
Those guys on the stretcher in the photos
were rescued after the 2015 earthquake, there were casualties :( 😥
oh myy..so sad. Thanks for letting us know!
@@JetLagWarriors Eighteen fatalities were reported, all occurring on Mount Kinabalu, including ten Singaporeans, six Malaysians, and two from both China and Japan. About 137 climbers were stranded on the mountain but were subsequently rescued.
Good job guys. Not easy to climb in the rain and windy conditions. Get a waterproof windbreaker and pack your clothes and socks in plastic bags would help to protect them from rain. Try again next time. Cheers 🥂
at least the rain wash the mud xD.
