攀登神山的過程

攀登神山的過程 (因之前遭受地震所造成的破坏,登山活动暂时只能有TIMPOHON GATE 出发你,而馬西勞山徑暂时关闭)
普通登山者爬神山需要兩日一夜,但最好是三天兩夜的時間,才能儘情欣賞神山的美。 攀登神山不需要特別技能,但至少要有基本體能。
我們會安排註冊登山嚮導全程陪同上山至下山,也可以代安排挑夫。
神山有兩條山徑可以由山腳到半山旅舍,這兩條山在山腰的Layang-Layang 匯合。
頂峰山徑( summit Trail /Timpohon Gate ) :路程較短,全程爬石樓梯,沒有太多風景;


大部分登山者由頂峰山徑上山,因為較輕鬆而且路程較短。
由頂峰山徑登山,第一天需要攀登約1500米,從Timpohon Gate到班那拉班(Panar Laban) ,對少運動的人來說,需要許多氣力和鼓勵。儘管登山好手可以在3小時內登頂並下山,但是除了攻頂,欣賞風景和獨特稀有的動植物,也樂趣無窮。
從亞庇市中心出發,在神山公園總部辦好登山手續之後,登山者會由4.5公里 外海拔1866米的Timpohon Gate登山起點,頂峰山徑就由此開始。Carson’s Fall瀑布就在附近,您可以稍作休息後上路,根據各人的體能,從這裡開始,一般會用4至5小時的艱苦跋涉,方可以抵達是日過夜的山上旅舍。

由小木板、石頭、樹根結紮成梯的山徑,各種青苔佈滿樹身,蘭花緊緊依附著樹 幹,也是豬籠草、杜鵑花的出現地帶。頂峰山徑的第一個歇息處是海拔1981米處,天氣晴朗時,可以看到亞庇至神山公園的道路。到了2081米的第二個歇息 處,是羅氐豬籠草的天堂。再走下去是海拔2252米的Karamborongoh【這字是當地土人用作避邪的植物名字】,即是沙巴電訊發射站的所在,這里 有一片片青葱的樹林,這山嶺山端是第三個歇息處。
在海拔2740米處是燕子之家 (Layang-Layang) ,這是頂峰山徑和馬西勞山徑的交匯處。再繼續前進,經過一片樹身扭曲、樹皮剝落的銀色樹叢,這些樹木比較矮小,山肩處您可以從海拔3200米處傲視山峰高 原,附近有一個Paka Cave山洞,第一位登山者Hugh Low爵士曾在那裡過夜呢。




班那拉班 (Panar Laban) 是Hugh Low爵士和其本地嚮導獻祭先人靈魂之處,以安撫受干擾的山靈,拉班拉塔 (Laban Rata) 旅舍、Gunting Lagadan旅舍、Pendant Hut旅舍就在附近,您會在此留宿一夜,第二天凌晨才繼續登山攻頂。
登山者在以下其中一個半山旅舍投宿一晚:Laban Rata, Gunting Lagadan, Panar Laban, Waras Hut, Pendant Hut或者Sayat-Sayat Hut
休息一夜之後,再展開攻頂的行程,以便能趕在太陽升起之前抵達頂峰,捕捉那 破曉黎明日出的壯麗奇景。大部分登山者會在凌晨2:30點出發,在漆黑中展開3小時的行程即可到達山頂,登上海拔4095.2米的羅氏峰(Low’s Peak)。由於眾多登山者攻頂,在黑暗中,您可以看到沿途登山者手電筒光線在晃動,在一些狹小處,更會有人龍阻塞呢。這裡有階梯、欄干和繩子幫助您向前 挺進。
從班那拉班 (Panar Laban) 走一小時左右,可以抵達高達3668米的Sayat-Sayat小屋,這是神山最高的歇息處有。由這裡一路走上去換成空曠的花崗石,但是在如此酷寒、大風的苛刻環境下,堅強的灌林和勁草由石縫中長出來,展示生命的頑強奮鬥。
Sayat-Sayat小屋是山上最高的歇息所,有檢查站和廁所,別忘了帶您的登山証以給檢查,在此處也可以添加飲用水。








在喘息中,好不容易來到4095米的羅氏峰,在嚴寒中,許多登山者爭取在最高處拍照留念,再靜待日出的一刻,觀賞美麗的日出景色,如果天朗氣清,可以遠眺沙巴延伸無際的景色。
在曙光嶄露的剎那,站在婆羅洲最高峰傲視沙巴大地,欣賞體驗日出中寧靜和莊嚴的一刻。
日出後雲霧開始在山間縈繞,約上午10時左右,雲層開始形成,即將來臨的濃霧將會阻礙您的視線,這時最好盡快下山,一般在下午2:00pm-6:00pm回到神山公園總部。












攀登神山的準備
警告
建議所有登山者嘗試任何登山前,應該作身體檢查。
如果您有以下徵狀或曾經有過以下的病歷,請勿爬山:心臟病、高血壓、哮喘、胃潰瘍、貧血、糖尿病、癲癇、關節炎、心悸、肝炎、肌肉痙攣、肥胖過重、因寒冷或氣壓有可能引發的症狀如高原症、懼寒,或其他任何有可能妨礙登山的疾病。
最適合沙巴爬神山的季節
神山全年開放,11月至1月、5月至7月是多雨季節,遇上暴雨,神山公園可能封閉登頂最後一段,防止意外發生,最佳爬神山季節是每年2月至4月、8月至10月的旱季,但是雨季和旱季可以在一年的任何時候出現。
神山公園總部海拔1563米,日間氣溫攝氏15-24度,當到達海拔3270米的半山旅舍,氣溫會下降到攝氏6-14度,間中甚至會接近零度,羅氏峰的溫度比半山旅舍低5度左右。
攀登神山的安排
為了保護神山環境,優化登山管理,攀登神山每日是有限制登山人數,一般要早預約才能確定有宿位,山上的宿位是先到先得。
請務必提前預訂行程,尤其是在旺季,山上的住宿都會爆滿,您要預先確定好位子,不然有關當局是不允許您登山的。
要是想登頂,現在一般用兩天的時間就可以往返山脚和山頂之間。
雖然登山不需要特別技能,在登山前,建議要定期鍛煉,減少肌肉痙攣、頭痛。 攀登神山是一項長時間的體能活動,而山上的氧氣量比水平線的氧氣量只有60%左右,因此要確保自己的體能應付及適應能力。
如果您在抵達神山公園當天不會馬上爬山,您可以先在神山公園山下的住宿好好 享受一下,適應這里的寒冷空氣,也可以去展示中心參觀神山公園的展覽,或者去植物花園(Botanical Garden)散步也不錯。神山公園總部附近有許多山徑,有時間可以跑跑,您也可以帶上望眼鏡因為這裡有很多觀烏的機會。

神山的半山旅舍 (除了LABAN RATA RESTHOUSE,其他的住宿暂时关闭
班那拉班 (Panar Laban) 附近有多間半山旅舍,提供登山者休息、食宿,這裡海拔高於3200米,以下是其中半山旅舍的簡介:
Laban Rata Resthouse (3,272.7M)山上唯一有暖氣 ( 目前因电力不足无法提供)、餐廳和熱水淋浴(有时间限制)的旅舍,每日提供77個床位,旺季住宿已排到半年後,出發前宜先訂房...
Laban Rata有一個可以眺望山峰的平台 ,此外,沙巴公园也提供25个通铺床位给马来西亚人

第二天早上攻頂峰是凌晨時份,天還未亮,而且山頂非常寒冷約只有幾度至零下幾度,個人裝備是很重要 。
個人裝備是很重要,參考如下:
舒適球鞋或登山鞋----鞋底有花紋
登山杖(必备)可自备或在公园租用
穿排汗衣,外加保暖及禦寒衣物,最好是防風防水外衣,山上旅舍有睡袋供應
用1公升水樽攜帶水登山,沿途每公里的小亭有山水可以再裝滿
增加熱能小吃,如朱古力、果仁、葡萄糖或葡萄乾、糖果、FruitBar、能量飲品等
攜帶行山手套、手提電筒或頭燈、圍巾、冷帽
其他很管用的物品:
o 雨衣
o 厚運動襪
o 紙巾、小毛巾
o 牙膏、牙刷、沐浴液
o 防潮背包
o 舒緩肌肉酸痛藥膏【譬如安美露】、處理脚底水泡的膠布、頭痛藥【如必理痛Panadol】、抗高山反應藥物、止痾嘔藥、蚊怕水、個人藥物、敷傷布
o 膠袋
抗曬用品如太陽眼鏡、太陽油、潤唇膏及帽子【防止被強UVA曬傷】,攝影器材如相機和備用電池,山上低溫會令電池容易「走電」

其他爬神山小貼士
食水
o 公園山下住宿(餐厅)有提供煮食水的設備。
o 登山時不需要帶很多的水,因為在途中每個休息站都有蓄水槽,提供未經處理的食水。
o 拉班拉塔(Laban Rata)的礦泉水售價約RM4.40/500ml,記得噢!
休息站
o 頂峰山徑(SummitTrail)有幾個休息站。每個休息站都有廁所和提供食水。每個站都有說明休息站的海拔高度和最靠近的下個站的距離。
o 記得要注意衛生不要亂丟垃圾,保護環境人人有責。
登山
o 登山因人而異,只需帶一些必需品就夠了,其它的行李就寄放在公園總部吧。雖然有挑夫的服務,但是您還是一定要隨身攜帶一些基本東西如食水、食物、雨衣、藥物等等。記得挑夫未必和您一起同行,其實您也可以和嚮導商量,一般他也願意成為挑夫的。
o 攻頂時寒衣、雨衣、頭燈、手套是必需品。
o 陪伴登山的嚮導一般乃當地原住民,因此大部份是不懂英語或略懂簡單英語。
o 有一點多數登山者不清楚的是:如果登山者受傷或緊急事故而不能行走的話,嚮導會送您上山或下山(依情況而定)。收費约是RM100/公里。記得噢!不要勉強自己噢。
o 隨著海拔升高,空氣開始稀薄,為了避免引發高山反應【高山症:會發燒、頭暈、視力模糊、呼吸困難、喘氣………等等】,登山時宜放慢腳步,量力而為,多喝水及帶備頭痛藥。
o 山區天氣瞬間即變,隨時由陽光普照變成傾盆大雨,宜帶雨衣和防水背包。
o 山腳可穿短袖T恤,到了Laban Rata旅舍溫度可降至攝氏10度或以下,山頂更冷,要準備寒衣。
o 精簡行李,輕便的水和衣服可以叫登山嚮導代拿,如行李多,宜僱用挑夫。
o 山路泥濘濕滑,宜穿防滑行山鞋,但不宜穿新鞋。腳底要軟的,這樣不會弄傷腳,尤其在下山時!
o 登山第一天要走大量石級,宜帶護膝。
流動電話網路
o 公園都在流動電話網路覆蓋著,所以和外界通訊應不會面對問題。
o 公園裡也有Telekom公共電話。
o 在拉班拉塔(Laban Rata)也有Telekom公共電話和019/013電話網路。 012/017的網路不強,和外界互相通訊就會面對問題。但是寄送短訊應不成問題,但是要在特定地點而已。
爬神山禁忌
爬山時不可直接呼叫友人的名字,可能因此靈魂被山神勾去。
不可隨意亂撿山上之物,可能此物有附體,把不好之物帶回家中。
如果人有三急時,記得先通告山神土地〈誠心說請他們讓開迴避〉。
