mountain torq – world’s highest via ferrata @ mount kinabalu, malaysia
Sunday, March 16th, 2008 | Author: remi

ooh shoot…this i cannot recover from google cache. so here it goes.

emm..on friday, march 15, while reading some email, i stumbled upon one corezone email. and the email lead me to this website mountain torq . hey…they have a NEW ROUTE to summit mount kinabalu, and the view is emmmm….SUPERB….

dont u feel excited...hehehe

the new route is being campaign as World’s highest via ferrata. So…according to mountain torq website:

A via ferrata (or ?iron road? in Italian, plural via ferrate) is a mountain path consisting of a series of rungs, rails and cables embracing the rock face. It allows access to scenic sections of the mountains that are typically available only to rock climbers and mountaineers. The excitement, scenic beauty and personal conquest you’ll experience on a via ferrata is guaranteed to give you an invigorating nostalgic experience for years to come.

this is not mountain torq, but isnt it exhilarating...

There are more than 300 via ferrata routes around the world predominantly in Italy, Germany, France, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland and Spain, and a few places in the United States and Canada. The world’s highest via ferrata, Mountain Torq – which also happens to be Asia’s first – can now be found on Mt Kinabalu in the east Malaysian state of Sabah.

and to further support the magnifecent view that i have mention above, here are the pictures taken from mountaintorq site:
