One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing mount Kinabalu, 4,000 meters high, was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It was stunning, magical, otherworldly... First trekking through steamy jungle complete with dripping vines and colourful moss. Next it's orange clay beneath our feet and trees that look like they belong in the Savannah- like large bonzi trees. Then we're climbing up to the summit at three in the morning, scrambling up granite rock face using ropes under the most amazing starry night sky. The view at the top was indescribable and, although I was slow, I made it in time to see the sunrise.
