KOTA KINABALU: Cutting a new and safe trail to the summit of earthquake-hit Mount Kinabalu is proving to be a daunting task.

Mountaineering experts and geologists may have to be roped in to help Kinabalu Park rangers cut a new trail between Gunting Lagadan Hut (3,323m) and Sayat Sayat Hut (3,668m) of the 4,095m summit trail to Low’s Peak.
