Almost Up Mt KK

ALMOST UP MT KK




7KM mark, just before Nic decided that he was moving no more ..............

OK, we did not make it to the top......... BUT, we were very very close!!!!



At the start of the climb before being tamed by the mountain. ( As someone so rightly said "You go up roaring like a Lion, but you come down a pussy-cat.")



I know it is no Everest, but climbing South East Asia's tallest mountain was not an easy feat. No training and preparations whatsoever was probably not the way to go, but hey, we tried and will be much more prepared when we attack the mountain again next year!!!


Tim & Mat roared up the mountain and left the rest of us behind..... Nic gripping his chest and taking intermittent puffs of steriod boosters (ventolin), steph fighting with his porter and refusing to sit in his carrier, Glendel freezing from the cold and poor little me struggling with all my excess fat and wishing I had been working out more. sigh.

Nic with his super-puff





Steph making his porter's life HELL








Mat on the top of the world


Cliff hanger (Or Tim's very good photo composition??)


Nic running up the mountain (2nd wind before he refuses to budge)
