Sheryll Josh is proud of her Dusun Kimaragang culture and heritage, and the Sabahan wants to showcase her identity to the world, even if it means scaling Sabah's Mount Kinabalu (4,095m) and posted photos of herself in a traditional Dusun Kimaragang costume. The climb was also part of Sheryll's way to welcome Hari Kaamatan, or Harvest Festival, on May 30 and 31.
The Dusun Kimaragang is a sub-group of the KadazanDusun tribe. It is one of the oldest tribes in north Borneo. Sheryll climbed up to Low's Peak in sports attire before changing into her traditional outfit at the summit.
Hari Kaamatan celebrates the rice harvest and marks the end of the planting cycle.
