there is a Chinese saying that says 好的开始,是成功的一半, which translated means anything that starts well would have achieved half the success. the English version of this saying is "well begun is half done".
after weeks of planning and support from lots of basecamp.cafe fans and friends, we had our first meet up last night at Campers' Corner. it was a great turnout, meeting old friends from past climbs, making new friends and most important of all, being able to share the spirit of basecamp.cafe through an adventure.
an earthquake destroyed the old Kinabalu summit trail that many of us have climbed before. lives were lost, the mountain guides lost their jobs and people became fearful of climbing mountains. even when the new Ranau Trail was built, there were concerns whether it was safe again. will another earthquake happen?
life can be like that. something bad happens and a job is lost, a relationship broken or a business fails. but the view at the top will always be spectacular no matter what. and that's what should motivate us to climb again even when disaster strikes. the sun always rises no matter what, and the view of the sunrise at the peak of Mount Kinabalu is a sight to behold. see you at the top! #100times #bcc
