Merbabu Mountain (3.142 m.dpl) 19-21 September 2014 (Part II)

Hello Kids,

Yesterday, my friend ask me to share tips and trick when I was in Rinjani Mountain. Actually I will write about rinjani mountain. But, I have promises to you, to finish merbabu story.
Yes, please note it, I choose you kids haha. Nah, the main reason is because I don't have any rinjani mountain picture in this laptop. Rinjani is a beautiful mountain kids, you should go there.

Okay, let's talk about another beautiful mountain, in previous merbabu story, I already told you about post 1-3 using Wekas path.

Merbabu have three peaks, from wekas path, the nearest is syarif peak.  The other is kenteng songo peak  and not far from kenteng songo, there are triangulasi peak. We planned to kenteng songo for Summit Attack, from post 3 to kenteng songo could be reached about 3-4 hours. Unfortunately, the situation is not so good at 2 o'clock in the morning. The wind blowing really-really high that night, that are limit when you talk about nature kids, you could't agains it. We are small creature in this world who doesn't worthy to be arrogant.

So instead of kenteng songo, we planned to go to Syarif peak. The track is full of dust with a little bit high altitude, so you have to use your hand to climb the way.

Tired, cold, and sleepy is something that you get when you climb in the morning kids.  But, you don't have to worries about that, we won't leave you there. Human are stronger when together, so what you should do is take one step a head and enjoy the nature. No matter how long it takes, if you take one step forward you could arrived at the peak of the world *cheesy haha*.

Here is the picture when I was in syarif peak.

This is another one. I thing you could put some quote in this picture, just Ctrl + I the word you want, ant put on that picture haha.

After that we go to kenteng songo peak, triangulasi peak, and go back using selo path. Selo path is much much more dusty kids, and hot. These path are full of savanna and some tree near the base selo path. So you should bring eye glasses, masker, and sunblock. 

Our Sponsor :p

Selo path takes about 5-6 hours. Selo path have some tricky path, because you will see only the nearest hill, be careful if you choose selo path. 

Here are some picture from selo path. 

The big one is merapi Mountain, Yes Selo Path is near Merapi Mountain Kids

I wanna sleep on that cloud ;(

 Mountain is not something you have to conquered, but something that you have to treasure kids.

Your Dad,

Merbabu Mountain (3.142 m.dpl) 19-21 September 2014

Hello Kids,

Today i will tell you about my story in Merbabu. Merbabu is a volcano mountain in central java,  merbabu derived from word "maharu = meru" (mountain) and "abu" = ash. That is really really real kids, there are a lot of dust in merbabu. So if you wanna go to merbabu mountain you should bring eyeglass and masker for your own sake.

Here is sneak a peek about merbabu mountain.

The story begin when we start our journey from bandung railway station. We went to jogja at 08.00 A.M and arrived at jogja in the morning  

JZZZ blurr,  my face is sleepy as hell 

After that, we go to the first hiking point. We are using wekas track, it is very very cold in there, you don't have to get water from refrigerator if you wanna drink something cold.

wekas path

Be grateful to your mama kids! 

After two or three hours walking, we arrived in post 1, the track is not very high, but there are so many cliff on the road, so you have to be careful. 

Within two hours walk  from post 1 you would arrived in Post 2. In here you could refill your water, and make camp.  We eat some snack and pray here, but we wouldn't camp here, because we want to get the sunrise, so it is better camp in Post 3. Beside you could see beautiful sky with beautiful clouds, with beautiful scenery and beautiful (*yeah so many beautiful thing in merbabu), but there are no water in Post 3 , so you have to save your water. 

this is for you

this is for you too

this is for your mama!!

After about 3 hours walking we are at Post 3, in here the wind is so fast, even we could hear some sound from it! buzzz, you could see there is a BTS in here too, so if you wanna check in and say hello to your internet friends you could do here.

Nah, it is already late in here. My laptop said it was 11.55 PM and i am sleepy enough to tell you my story, don't be sad *and i think you wouldn't haha*, i will be come back to tell you my story after post 3!
