If you're an outgoing, active person and you're in Sabah, you owe it to yourself to climb Mt Kinabalu. It's certainly not the easiest trek you'll ever do but it's perhaps the most rewarding.
As other tourists have said, the views from Low's Peak at sunrise are incredible and worth all the effort of climbing the mountain.
Between four to six hours of climbing on the first day and another three or four on the second morning will get you to Low's Peak, while another six hours on the second day will see you safely down the mountain.
You don't have to be an Olympic athlete to complete the climb. My wife and I, both aged 25, completed the climb with little preparation, other than regular walks around the neighbourhood in Australia. If you're reasonably fit and you have no existing injuries or health conditions, you'll be fine.
The best part of the climb is that you don't need any special climbing equipment -- just walk to the top. You'll need a warm, windproof jacket, some gloves and a headlamp or torch, but other than that, you'll be fine.
My wife and I did the climb as part of our honeymoon in Sabah and it was outstanding. You can read more about our climb and view a photo gallery at (---)
Do yourself a favour and climb Mt Kinabalu. You'll never regret it.
