Via-ferrata is an option for tourist in the climb of Mount Kinabalu and very good to come out from height phobia. 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 veteran 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.
Low Peak Circuit have longest route or cable compare to Walk The Torq which took about 5 hours to complete and WTT required only 2hours or less.
