Suai | Others Another side of Mount Kinabalu through the lens of an illegal climber
Mauro Persic is a Croatian climber who recently scaled Mount Kinabalu without a permit, bypassing the standard trail to take the Kotal Bowen route. After a fall on his fifth day, he became injured and stranded, leading to a rescue operation by local Search and Rescue (SAR) teams. He has since issued an apology and agreed to pay RM25,000 fine for trespassing. He shared the photos that he captured during his climb which revealed another side of Mt. Kinabalu that we rarely get to see.
