In his TikTok account, @jvy_aolm01, he recently posted several videos of himself hiking Mount Kinabalu, the world’s third-highest island peak. But amid all the videos one particular video created quite a buzz on social media where he had a companion accompanying him on the trek. He had a full gas tank attached to his back.

In 35-second video footage shared by the climber himself on his TikTok account, he was spotted doing some free hand exercises and stretches as he was all buckled up to conquer the 4,095 ft. Mt. Kinabalu. As he did a few quick leg stretches he was soon spotted with a full gas tank tied on his back before he embarked on the journey.

Now you must be thinking why did the man decide to tackle such a dangerous and rigorous climb with a heavy gas tank? He too faced the question from his fans. In an interview conducted by World of Buzz, he revealed that he has been supporting and working with Laban Rata Guesthouse, which is at present situated 3,272 meters above sea level in the heart of Kinabalu. In order to deliver necessary items and goods to the lodge for their customers he was carrying the gas tank and other items.
