After making it to the top, it was time to get back down. Everybody has this preconceived notion that going down is always better than going up. Those people have obviously never tried climbing down Mt. Kota Kinabalu. My legs were in absolute pain since I worked a whole different set of leg muscles, muscles that I haven’t used in quite some time, and I needed assistance from my tour guide for the last six kilometers.
Here are a few images before the descend!
