Gunung Korbu (23Dec-26Dec1995) - 3/3

We started the second day with high spirits. The hike to the peak was a pleasant one, no more wading across swift current and walking on muddy grounds. The cool air and the high altitude view kept me going although I was dead tired! It was like Gunung Kinabalu revisited.Good gracious! Finally we reached the peak. It was cloudy then and the sun seemed so low that I could touch it with just a jump!Night was freezing cold. I did not bring enough warm clothing. My body was shivering and my teeth could not stop clattering.I believed I was the only person inside a tent seeking shelter from the biting cold. One kind soul passed me his T-shirt and i put it on immediately,unabashed.We climbed down from the peak the next morning to the first camp site and we met up with our three comrades who stayed behind after the first day hike. On this last night of our expedition, we shared our trials and tribulations....
