The breathtaking views during descent from Low’s Peak

#kotakinabalutrip The highest peak in Mount KK is Low’s Peak. One’s usually required to reach the peak the latest 7 or 8am (the 2nd part of ascent started at 2am from the lodge). After that, there’d be scouts urging climbers to start descending. As we descend, views was absolutely phenomenal. I even cranked my phone camera up to the highest quality settings — ProRAW and ProRes — and ended up taking up a third of my phone storage within an hour. At that moment, I genuinely had this wild impulse to just stay up there forever — I even joked with my friend that if I ever came back, I’d bring a tiny tent and camp for a night on the summit. But of course, that's impossible — one gust of wind or a sudden downpour up there would easily blow me and my little tent right off the mountain.
