On Monday afternoon, the president of the United States was just another person complaining online about his service provider.
The iconic Mulu Pinnacles , an ancient limestone karst that has stood for millions of years, sculpted by rain, time and silence.
It’s a three-day, two-night journey that begins in a longboat and ends with a lung-busting scramble up near-vertical slopes, rope ladders and sharp limestone. Along the way, hikers might glimpse strangler figs, carnivorous pitcher plants or even the footprints of a bearded pig.Camp 5 is a simple riverside lodge – spartan dormitories, cold showers and a shared kitchen where adventurers cook their own meals.
In some places, steel ladders are bolted into the limestone. Gloves are essential. So are steady legs and a calm mind.This is a climb that tests both strength and strategy. Small, precise steps conserve energy. Three points of contact – always.Water is precious. Rest is rare. But the jungle offers quiet gifts to those who look up – the swing of a Bornean gibbon, the booming call of a rhinoceros hornbill, giant forest ants marching in silent lines over mossy trunks.A break in the trees.
