In our experience UniSA alumni conquer mountains in the workplace
everyday, so we’re giving you a real mountain to conquer in the wilderness.
UniSA’s Alumni Network is offering a unique opportunity to be part of an
exclusive group of budding mountaineers to climb
Mount Kinabalu
in the east Malaysian state of Sabah. It’s a great opportunity to challenge
your body, mind and spirit when you join our first MK08 mountaineering
expedition.
Professor Patrick
James , Head of School, School of Natural and Built
Environments, will lead a group of between 15-20 aspiring mountaineers
through the Kinabalu Park and up Mount Kinabalu. Himself a keen mountaineer,
Prof James brings ecological insight in addition to a great enthusiasm for
mountaineering, to the expedition.
Specialist mountaineering skills are not needed to conquer Mt Kinabalu. There
are no plunging chasms or sheer drops, but you will need to be physically fit to
tackle the steep ascending tracks.
As part of the package, members of the expedition will have the chance to join
an elite physical training program specially designed for MK08 by UniSA’s Health
Science professionals. MK08 Camp, for those able to access the City East Campus
in Adelaide, South Australia, is a six month structured training package
designed to improve all aspects of health and fitness.
Those people joining the expedition from outside Adelaide will have access to
MK08 Camp leader,
Andrew Hassam, for advice on building a self-regulated
fitness program.
The Alumni Network, together with Renaissance Tours, has put together an
impressive nine day itinerary
(PDF 835 KB - download Adobe Acrobat) which includes a cocktail party with the local
Malaysian Alumni chapter, guided tours and eco-seminars, in addition to the
climb. You may choose to join the expedition as part of your own private holiday
plans. September is an ideal time to holiday in beautiful Malaysia.
