Description

This was at the halfway point, Laban Rata Resthouse at Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia. After 6 hours (and some) of climbing, I sat/collapsed against a rock. As I watched other climbers trickle up the mountain, I caught this split-second scene of two boys atop a utility house.

The journey was spiritual. The pain, the sweat, the desire to reach the peak. Turning each corner of the mountain, I prayed for a rest-stop. After reaching the halfway point, I gorged myself, ravenously, on the simple buffet.

More stairs up to my bunkbed... Only to wake up at 3am to start hiking in pitch darkness to the peak to catch the sunrise.
