    Caracteristics

    Two via ferrata: Low’s Peak Circuit (LPC) Mid-Difficult and for the beginners: Walk the Torq (10 years old).

    Must be over 17 years old for the LPC.

    If you have climbed Mt. Kinabalu before, you really need to climb it all over again, just so that you can attempt The Low’s Peak Circuit! Traversing the mountain in this manner means that you get to see an entirely different and immensely beautiful side of the mountain plateau that the current summit trail will never have the chance to reveal to you.

    The Low’s Peak Circuit is a Via Ferrata route situated at 3,776 m above sea level and and the highest Via Ferrata in the World. Designed for the brave and the active individual with above-average fitness levels, this 4 – 6 hour route with an optional summit attempt includes rest stops at scenic locations.
