Borneo Adventure Vacation – Conquering Mount Kinabalu Via The Mesilau Summit Trail

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
Rich Adz asked:

If you are visiting Borneo for an adventure vacation, then conquering the mystical Mount Kinabalu is not really an option – it is ‘the’ priority.

The mystical Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in South East Asia, is strategically located at the Kinabalu National Park, a designated World Heritage Site. Kinabalu National Park is just about two hours drive from the city of Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo.

Mount Kinabalu, which stood at around 4,095 meters above sea level, is an icon for Sabah as well as for Malaysia tourism. Therefore, it is of no surprise that every year, thousands flocked to climb or rather, trek up the mountain. Although the traditional route up Mount Kinabalu is via the Kinabalu Summit Trail at Kinabalu National Park, there is an alternative route on the other side of Mount Kinabalu called the Mesilau Summit Trail, a newer and more challenging route. This trail is definitely one for those who are more adventurous to consider seriously.

The Mesilau Summit Trail at the Mesilau Nature Park on the Mesilau plateau is about 30 minutes by road away from Kinabalu National Park or about 108 km from Kota Kinabalu.

It is advisable to stay a night at Mesilau before starting your ascent up Mount Kinabalu as the journey from Kota Kinabalu will likely to leave you rather exhausted. Take a rest and acclimatize with the higher altitude at the eco-friendly Mesilau Nature Resort, which is nestled amongst the trees at the foot of the mountain at about 2,000 metres above sea level within the Park. The resort has a total of 22 lodges and 96 resthouse beds.

As for the climb up to Mount Kinabalu, the Mesilau Summit Trail is definitely more rugged, about 1.5km further than the trail from Timpohon Gate at Kinabalu National Park. But it offers more opportunities for viewing flora and fauna. The Mesilau route is still relatively new, but some shelters and toilets have been built along the trail for the convenience of trekkers. The route is also less crowded than the old summit trail. You won’t bank into many mountain climbers on the way up.

The first ascent of the Mesilau Trail does involve a climb up, then a drop into the Mesilau valley, and then another ascent to regain the lost height. You will get to see both the Kinabalu and Mesilau routes at higher ground. The trail is also more “jungle” than the traditional Kinabalu Summit Trail. When trekking uphill, it is fortunate that the trail is well laid with steps cut into the earth and thus, making walking easy.

Layang-layang (Place of Swallows) is where the Mesilau Trail meets the Kinabalu Summit Trail at 2,740m. From there onwards, you will notice that the vegetation zone is like a forest of bent and twisted silvery-grey trunks with peeling bark.

A short hike after the sixth shelter, you will reach the mid-summit (i.e., Laban Rata). Conservatively, it should take a normal fit person an average 6-7 hours to reach Laban Rata, where you will be required to stay a night at Laban Rata Resthouse or at other nearby accommodations (i.e., Mountain Huts and VIP Lodge). From there, the second and more grueling ascent will follow the traditional route all the way to the summit (i.e., Low’s Peak), which will start early morning the next day at around 2 am to 3 am

The ascent should normally take a few hours but it is much more challenging than the initial ascent as the trail gets more tiring with each step up the slope as the air gets thinner and thinner. On top of this, you have to battle the freezing cold temperature (sometimes below zero degrees Celsius). If its rains and windy, it will be doubly challenging.

But once you get to the summit and catch the truly magnificent glimpse of the sunrise, you would have forgotten the tough climb. You will feel on top of the world looking down at the tiny villages and small islands off the coast of Kota Kinabalu.

For those who had climbed Mount Kinabalu before via the Kinabalu Summit Trail or for those who are searching for a more challenging trek, the Mesilau Summit Trail definitely offers a fuller Mount Kinabalu climbing and adventure vacation experience. To quote an avid climber: “You have not truly conquered Mount Kinabalu if you have not conquer it from both sides of the mountain”.

Looking to Lose Man Boobs Naturally?

Derek Silverman asked:

Main purpose of this article is to give you an insight about man boobs or Gynecomastia and guide you further into understanding everything related to this subject.

Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of the male breast resulting from a proliferation of the glandular component of the breast. Almost 40% of all the male population have suffered or are suffering from this condition. The condition often refered to as “man Boobs”, is completely harmless in most cases.

There are many treatments available to lose man boobs but the most common of all is certainly surgery. Surgery is indeed the most effective and easy way to get rid of man boobs but the price (upwards of $4000) is often out of reach for a lot of people. Add to that the fact the there is a long and painful recovery time and there are risks involved as with any surgery.

So what if you can’t Afford Surgery?

How do you lose these man boobs?

According to my research there are 3 ways to get rid of your man boobs easily, and actually only two are recommended.

1- There is prescription gynecomastia medicine.

This type of medicine is often used for people suffering from breast cancer. The substance called tamoxifen as one side effect that (in some patient) reduces the size of their breast. I would not recommend this type of treatment as this type of medication has some very strong side effects like impotency.

2- Natural supplements.

One very popular type of treatment is natural supplements. There are a couple of those on the market but it is important to know that some of them are effective while others are just scams. It is very important to do your own research about these products. Through my research about the various products I have gathered evidence that some of these products may in fact be effective but not recommended for your health. On the other hand some of them are amazingly effective and highly recommended to treat gynecomastia. Thousands of men have used this form of treatment to eliminate their gynecomastia problem.

3- Exercises to get rid of man boobs.

And then there is of course the step-by-step training programs specifically designed for man boobs sufferer. There are not a lot of these available on the market, but the ones that exist are very good. Keep in mind that this is not a miracle cure, there is a lot of commitment involved in making these programs work. But if you are really determined to lose your man boobs, that this is a very good place to start.

Conclusion

Personally, I would recommend surgery only as a last resort; with all the possible complications and risks involved with surgery (not to mention the price) I would strongly recommend trying to get rid of your gynecomastia problem using one of the two last form of treatment. The combination of the right natural supplement and a good step-by-step training can really help you get rid of that nasty chest fat.

This article was written to provide you with knowledge about the various options you have to get rid of man boobs I appreciate you taking your time to read it.

Tip No. 1: Posture Improvement

Poor posture is a common problem with many people. When you slouch it makes your stomach look bigger. Correct posture ought to be as follows.

Tip No. 2: Pilates

Pilates is recommended as an intelligent way of using the abdominals as well as arms, legs, and back muscles.

Altogether, this is considered as slow, high quality exercise that ensures strength and flexibility as well.

Plank: Let your hands and knees work to create what is called a push-up plank position. You are basically doing a balancing act. Put your wrists under your shoulders while you ensure that your back remains straight. Your abs should remain tight. Try to hold this position for a while then exhale.

Leg Lowers: Let the upper body be curled, your chest over ribs. Your hands should be behind your head. Lift the legs up with knees bent at 90 degrees. Keep your hips down as you gradually lower the legs toward the floor. Don’t change the bend in the knees, but simply lift them back up naturally.

Seated Rotations: Sit up, bend your knees and legs together. Your arms should be placced across your chest and tuck your tailbone. Then roll back a little as you rotate the spine right and left.

Tip No. 3: Diet and Digestion
