Identify your Mountain Guide who will display an identification card. Alert your Mountain Guide if you face any difficulties. Display your climbing permit and show it to Park Officials at the check points at Timpohon Gate, Laban Rata and Sayat-Sayat on your way up and down. Travel together in your own group and stay with the Mountain Guide at all times. If for any reasons, you are separated from your group or the Mountain Guide, please follow the white rope that marks the Summit Trail. If visibility is very low or in the dark, please hold onto the rope and follow it. (There is a thick white rope leading all the way from the vegetation belt above Panar Laban to the summit. Use this rope to help climbing up and prevent falling when walking down). PLEASE FOLLOW AND USE THE ROPE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.

The weather on the summit area can deteriorate in a matter of minutes. Thick mist may reduce visibility to only 3 meters and rainstorms and wind of up to 120 km/hr may occur at times. Please hold on to the rope which will lead you to safety. If you are separated from your Mountain Guide and lose sight of the ROPE, STOP IMMEDIATELY, stay where you are and blow your whistle to attract attention. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO FIND YOUR WAY OUT. HELP is definitely on the way. The Park Officials at Sayat-Sayat check point will notice that you are missing.
