Gizmore Supercharged June 6, 2015 Share June 6, 2015 After going through the comments, how many actually climbed KK? Prior to today, having climbed KK before, I certainly do not have prior knowledge that KK is prone earthquake too. Not withstanding the earthquake itself, the climb up is definitely very doable for anybody with average physical fitness. I was with three other ladies who aren't the fittest and yet we were able to complete 3/4 of it. We didn't make it to the summit not becos the climb was too siong or give up. We were just slower on our climb up and 3/4 through our guide advise us to u-turn back as ppl are already coming down and it will be dangerous. I think it is pointless to lay the blame and debate if such expedition is necessary. Parents should always understand the risk, be it a visit to zoo (who knows a tiger may escape right) or to climb KK. There will always differing views but for now let's just pray for the best for those still missing. It is sad for me, having witness the full awe of mount KK and to hear this tragedy. And solely my personal opinion - I would rather die on this mountain doing something I enjoy rather than in a car crash on PIE. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopites Supersonic June 6, 2015 Share June 6, 2015 Anyone who turns this political and into a blame game will b put in moderation There is a place n time for things This is not the time and place! Thank you Finally. I was expecting your presence much earlier when the thread started to deviated to whether the trip was.necessity. Let this thread clean from any religious or blaming thread. No amount of words can console the lost of life to any families. They do need to know the whole nation are behind them in time of grief. Rip to the deceased. And be strong to the affected families. We all have you in our prayer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain sports like trekking, mountain climbing, scuba diving, sky diving etc all have inherent risks that can be fatal when things go wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic June 6, 2015 Share June 6, 2015 Primary school students shouldn't do LJ like climbing mountains or going into forested areas..... They are too young for such sports and as of their age, they only listen to instructions given by their teachers. The teachers tell them to turn right, they turn right, tell them to turn left and they will turn left. Climbing mountains or adventures sport are to be given to upper Sec or JC students where a certain level of maturity are required. Primary schools can still go for oversea LJ but to be restricted only to cultural visit of that country or school exchange programme with that country schools.
