KOTA KINABALU: Experts and experienced individuals have weighed in on the recent proposal to impose an age limit for climbing Mount Kinabalu, with many suggesting that mandatory health screenings would be a more effective way to ensure safety, especially for senior climbers.
Kinabalu Geopark cultural advisor Dr Paul Porodong said fatalities on Mount Kinabalu should not be solely attributed to a climber’s age because numerous factors, particularly health conditions, could be part of the cause.
