I'm ashame but proud to admit that, this will be my first experience ever to climb you Mr Mountain.
Initially i'm suppose to join the climbing trip on February 2009, together with other bloggers but when i get to know another climbing trip will be carry out on 17&18th Dec by Grace and the gang, it takes me no time to say 'I want to join youuuuu peopleee!!'. Thus,i have to cancel my original plan and go for Dec trip. Blame the intense climbing urge, i'm innocent 
I dont know about others but being a Sabahan, i find it a must to experience climbing the mountain at least once. And oh,my parent's hometown is in Ranau too. It has become my personal mission to climb Mr Mountain to avoid the saying of orang kampung that goes "Kau orang Ranau tapi tidak pernah naik gunung lagi???" 
Anyway, i have prepared some of the essentials for the climbing except the glove. I neither want the wool type, nor the one that police traffic wear. I'm looking for a synthetic type, hopefully i can get it by tomorrow.
Here's my climbing gears' checklist:
A backpack to keep all the things: checked!
Sport shoes: checked!
Apparel: from inner to outer: tshirt > my sis' wool sweater > windbreaker > poncho (if rain)
Mask: checked!
Headlamp or torchlight will do: checked!
Gloves: will get it a.s.a.p
Medicine: i'll bring paracetamol and calamine lotion for precaution. You might want to know the reason of bringing the lotion, well i tend to get hives during chill. I need to consult a doc about this,hopefully i can eat some pil(s) to avoid that from attacking.
Camera loaded with battery and 1gb MMC: checked!
Climbing spirit: Checked! In a high level babeh.
Misc: plastic bags, slippers, dry clothes, dry socks, dry towels, tissues, toiletries, vaseline, yoko yoko (haha!), lotion and will check again.
Should it be any deficit in my climbing items, feel free to advise.
I cant wait!! wooohhhoooooo!!

I climbed twice tu Mt.Kinabalu dulu2 and from my experience, try to minimized the things you're going to bring..! The first 2km climbing yang paling penat sebab teda besa kan..kurang oksgen..kalau bulih tu mineral water bawa botol paling kecil saja..sebab every stop bulih refill juga air ko tu...
Lagi, pakai beg yang waterproof..and jan lupa bawa plastik tu keep your things inside..
Lagi...make sure your baju thick enough to keep you warm sebab sana telampaauuuuu sejuk tu.
Bah itu jak nasihat sia mau kasi ko...hehhee
Uuuu..jeles nya.
ada juga grace ajak sy pigi tapi memandangkan fitness level sy yg almost zero(if not negative) and ada family events bulan 12 ni, mmg sy mo pigi..huhuhu..
takpa, lain kali sy pigi sy ajak la kamurg jadi tourist guide (or pikul sy kalo sy pingsan)..hahahaha
take care mell...;-)
Wah... mau nek gunung sudah C Mell, hehehe , kalau rasa rasa mau tambah energy , jgn lupa bawa glukos atau asam2 time naik nanti... supaya tia pening kio..ahaks..
Good LUCK!
nanti sampai puncak cuba ko cari tu MR kuning2... ada ka dia betapuk sana... hahaha
Mr Kuning2 = digi...ala dalam papan iklan tu kan ada dia nek gunung
sya pun mo naik gunung lagi! addictive tuh.
ok la tu ko punya items list. but yup, try to kasi minimal stuff yg mo bawa. bawa banyak2 pun nda apa bah, bulih kasi derma sama tu porter. they will be grateful tu.
umh... maybe u will want to add rubber glove(itu yg macam surgical glove tu yg besa doctor pakai). cos sometimes itu glove tebal yg kita pakai pandai basah kena ais/air. but kalau ada tu latex glove di dalam, nda la basah/sejuk/kecut tu jari2. ^_^
Gracie: ada jg sy tfikir tu,tp aku pun mau yg ada style2 bah. hehe
Claire: oo,yg skarf winter sonata ka? hihi..sy nda pakai tu sy rasa, sy kasi tinggi2 seja tu kolar baju. yg krem tu mmg ku jangka akan berlaku,bikin takot jg la. bagus sy bawa yoko2 awal2.
Kadusmama: ok,noted! sy try to minimize the things la,but so far suma pun essential ba sy rasa.
Chris: hehehe..lain kali ko mau climb,ko kasitau la ah.sy bulih kasi contact no utk atur2 tu.
BH: ada kaitu si kuning2? haha..nti sy cari dia la. ko sd naik ka?
Mell (tsm4): oh,good advice. sebab synthetic glove is a bit pricey ba,bukan hari2 guna jg. thanks!
Telambat sia mo komen. Tp nda pa, ko blum naik jg. Sa twice jg naik. Next year there will be another two climbs. Mataila...
Hehe, 1st tym naik, i make a very big mistake. Macam2 sa bawa. Mmg berat gila. I do agree, 1st few kilometers ko akn rasa berat coz of the gravity effect. So imagine klu barang yg sa bw mcm mo pindah rumah. Haha. CLIMB LIGHTLY!
Ko pnya list tu looks good, cuma tu kasut saja. Klu ko ckp tu kasut harga dia beratus2 ringgit, sayang tu. Betul jg klu pakai adidas tambunan. Grip ba, especially mo naik. Or atleast yg ada gigi pnya tapak... 1st climb sa, kasut puma sa hancur...
Oh, i dont know about others, tp sa akn bawa sikit garam utk campur sama air. Utk elak cramp. Tp tu cara sa la...
Ada tongkat jg kalau ko mo utk d sewa/beli. RM5 dulu. Nda tau skrg. Quite useful oh tu tongkat for me la...
The rest sa rasa, ko uda kana bgtau jg. So all the best 4 ur climb ya. Show us ur pic nanti.
markie: wow,byk info. thanks ya ;) sy mmg mau kasi shower kamurang dgn pics ni. hehe (kalau la terambil byk2. hehehe)
Have fun Mell...snap some pictures!
ba mell....enjoy d scenery and be careful k...jan jajal d atas sna..jan ko ingat buli main tapuk2 sana..main lumba2 lari..hehe..hope u had a great experience...cheers!
have fun, don't force yourself, ini bukan belumba and take care.
jan lupa foto ah :)
be careful masa turun, itu yang menyakitkan...apa-apa pun enjoy the scenery :)
Mell, tapun saja la..sy ni kampung dakat gunung blum pernah climb. Jd ko olok seja sy lepas ko climb k.
Enjoy your trip (dgn amat jelesnya sudaini)
Sebelum naik kita buat warming up dulu supaya tidak cramp.Kah2..tengok2 lepas warming up langsung nda dapat naik.
Mell, ko beli coklet lebih sikit. Then bawa ubat sakit perut juga. Yoko2 nda digalakkan tapi bawa saja. Jangan risau... nanti saya jaga ko (kunun la). Semua yang naik tu coach bah... (tapi semua tak fit)
hornbill: bah,nti aku bawa sukulat. si fred suru kita bawa air byk2 sebab tu tangki air utk refill sd rusak kunun.
madpie nayden79 adora: hehe..nda la ba sy uluk,jan risau.
Greg: huih,sy nda mau la berlumba,nda fit pun. sy cuba sedaya upaya amik pic byk2 k? ;)
wel: haha..ada ka main tapuk2? nda pulang la sy tu. thanks wel,ko mau buah tangan berupa raflesia ka? kehkehkeh
honey: ok,will do. thanks babe :)
funny pla teingat psl lumba2 ni..1st time sy pigi..mmg belumba la sm kawan..haha no 3 ba juga sy..3jam ja smpi sda laban rata..kau bygkan ba kami pny gaya..haha kul 8 naik, kul 11 smpi sda sana tmpt berenti tu..gila la..nda enjoy scenery langsung...kawan sy ada yg naik kul 8, kul5 baru smpi..hehe 2nd time naik baru sy berabis lambat2 selambat2 nya...hahhhaha
take ur time la k mell...and be very carefull ms yg mo naik sda p puncak tu..nanti ms kau turun kau nmpk tu mcmna rupanya keadaan yg kau naik pagi2..hehehhe
claire: bulih tahan kau ni claire,lain kali kau ikut climbathon la. bah,sy lambat2 naik laini kalau gitu. baru bulih amik gmbr byk2 kan? hehe
hehehe..kalau climbathon 3jam naik dan turun ba mell baru qualified..aunty sy selalu ikut..hehe tp jgn selalu btl berenti la nti kau makin malas tu mau naik..hihi mcm jg lari kn...cuba kau berenti byk kali trus malas ni sda mau lari..hehe
bgs ba tu yg tutup leher tu mell..sejuk btl tau di atas tu..bulan dec lagi la..msh lagi ba mau suru kan..ekeke
itu selendang winter sonata ba maksud ko kan? sy teda baitu claire,sy teda masa sd mau turun pg kadai ni beli. sy tgu mau naik seja. haha..semalam sy mimpi tau pasal tu..gila la semangat sy ni.
wah aunty kau ikut ka tu climbathon,mmg hebat la aunty kau claire. kau nda mau try ikut jejak langkah dia?
iya mell...winter sonata la tu..kalau tutup leher kan kurang ni sejuk dia..abis kalau kena sejuk d leher, trus smpi p dada ba..hehe kau mimpi saya ka, atau kau mimpi tu selendang? hahhaha
sy tia dpt la mell ikut tu climbathon..nafas nda cukup..hihi
Sy mimpi naik gunung..haha..malam tadi pun sy mimpi lagi oo..luarbiasa.
wohoo... best kan banyak reply. hahaha sampai mimpi2 lagi. hopefully 1st experience will makes u want for more. cos some people satu kali ka naik trus jara n nda mo naik lagi. for me, at least 10 kali la kali mo naik. 6 more to go.
bawa cokolet yg nipis2 tu. cos kalau yg tebal2 keras macam batu tu di atas. macam makan kacang ranggup dia... hahahah. ya some of my frens minum air campur garam to prevent cramp, some muntah bila minum salty water... tapi bawa ja garam.
oh do not feed wild animal, but no one can resist feeding the friendly threeshrew a.k.a tupai. bagi dia cokolat and take pictures ^_^.
Mell (tsm4): adada..sy baru sy fikir mau beli tu cadburry..dasar tamaha betul. nasib baik jg sy baru mau pg beli time lunch hour nti. hehe..makasih mell :)
