(The tallest mountain in Borneo)
I went on a solo climb without my friends. (Register alone). Even I feel like it is beyond my capability, my desire was strong and I just go for it.
Before my climb/trip, I was down in confident and felt was losing control of my life. It seemed my life was heading in the direction i did not want it. So, I want to do something that would restore my spirit.
I will not waste my effort explaining everything about my journey. Let the picture speak.
