All about the Mt. Kinabalu ‘Walk the Torq’.

The world’s highest VIA FERRATA (or ‘iron road’ in Italian), which is also Asia’s first VIA FERRATA, is located at Mt Kinabalu’s Panalaban rock face. It starts at 3,400 meters and ends at 3,800 meters.

The Mt Kinabalu VIA FERRATA is devised to give climbers with little or no climbing experience access to rock faces and views enjoyed only by mountaineers and rock climbers. Traversing a mountain path consisting of a series of rungs, rails and cables as well as a 22 meters suspended footbridge at 3,600 meters elevation, this is surely to be an adventure of a lifetime.
