Clouds of clouds have been seen from the plane window, the blue sky seemed to be a loyal companion of the vast universe, from a distance seen also a very large mountain, high, which almost surrounds the island of Lombok, Mount Rinjani. Yep, I've always drooled to climb this mountain, not only bearing the title of the third highest mountain in Indonesia, but also because this mountain is known for its extraordinary beauty. The plan to climb this Rinjani I discussed with a native friend who is somewhat male but actually the girl really is the Ines before the fast, and we get official date to start this ascent of 10 days after the Eid.
We both buy tickets deliberately flight first hour because on the first day in Lombok we want to play games for a while. We both though the plane, but different plane, I Lion, the ines Citilink. For the ticket itself, I got a discount yesterday from Panorama Tour so Rp.980.000,00, cheap enough is not it? Exactly at half past five in the morning, I was able to enter the plane, and not delay, rich Lion is now clean, yesterday pas from Lombok to Jakarta also use Lion and always on time, great. Short story plane take off at 5 am and I arrived in Lombok at 8 am WITA.
At Lombok International Airport I was amazed to wait ines same Aji and Satria Lombok children who will pick me up. At around 9 am the Aji and Satria arrived at LIA, and the ines long also out of the airport, around 11 noon we arrived at Satria's house and prepare everything to climb Rinjani in tomorrow. But unfortunately, the Aji can not join this climb because again a short semester, really sorry can not go on vacation.
In the afternoon, I and Ines play around West Lombok for a while, just to Malimbu at Pantai Tiga Setangi, enjoy the sunset for the first time to Lombok.
Day 1, Ampenan - Sembalun - Climbing Mount Rinjani Pos 2
Around 8 am, all personnel who will climb Mount Rinjani come one by one. Our total group is 8 people where 2 people from outside Lombok is me and ines, then 6 people from Lombok is campus friend Satria. The personnel among others
1. Ines, my friend from junior high school whose hair is short, more handsome than me, hmmm
2. Satria son of Lombok who helped me last January
3. Fiqri friends campus the Satria, the Uztad that no songs on his hp, the sound uztad qira'at
4. Jepril is very similar to my friend Kudis, similar to his behavior but still remember God
5. Nauval the boss who works in NTT, whether it's Lombok or NTT, but he is a big boss! #Taliwang
6. Chan the boy from Padang who studied at Unram, Chan is not chandra or what, chan is indeed his name.
7. and the youngest Iwan's nephew Chan who lives in Sumbawa Besar, whose work is as rich as me, cigarettes continues at every opportunity
The five sumpret children are Fiqri, Jepril, Nauval, Chan, and Iwan are climbers who really want to climb the mountain, and their first mountain is this climb, Mount Rinjani .. We rented a pickup car from Ampenan to basecamp Sembalun PP 1 million, divided by eighth into 125rb pp. Exactly at half past 11 am we drove from Satria's house in Ampenan, to Sembalun!
Travel for 3 hours. finally we arrived at Sembalun. The atmosphere at that time at the National Park Hall of Mount Rinjani is very quiet, uh it turns out they have been up from the morning, and about 500 people climbers up that day. Before making the climb, we pray first at the nearest mosque and fill the stomach that has been very kick-nendang. After praying and eating, we headed to BTNGR for climbing registration. Simply pay 25ribu course for 5 days, because it is our plan want 5 days in Rinjani, precisely at 4 pm this climb begins!
Etape BTNGR - Pos 1 - Pos 2
From BTNGR, we are still escorted by pick up to tip of asphalt, pretty far on foot. Arriving at the end of the asphalt, we began to climb to the gate of climbing Sembalun. Actually still quite far from the end of the asphalt to the climbing gate, we walk casually. The sharp-loving bud arrived, there was a sand truck that we were willing to ride to near the gate of Sembalun climbing, just 30 minutes away by pick up, truck, and walking a little, we arrived at Sembalun climbing door.
From the climbing gate, we continue the journey on foot to the post 1. The journey from heading to post 1 is a hilly savanna with a steep up and down contour. When the weather is clear, we can see Rinjani clearly, but when it's cloudy, the benefits during the trip is not hot. The journey from the gate to the post 1 very far, especially if you guys from BTNGR on foot, guaranteed knees grip even though the track is steep. If I, Ines, and Satria focus on walking, unlike the five kids who work snapshots continue to work, heuuu, but if they ga photos, no photos for my blog * Thanks, Forward Narcissists! Long story short journey for 1 hour 40 minutes we arrived at post 1.
We stayed long enough in post 1 because the trip is quite far and tiring, the day is getting dark and we immediately set up headlamp, around the hour and a half of 7 we continue the journey to post 2. The journey to the post 2 or our first check point, under control. Night travel does not make us easily tired because we do not see the path. 30 minutes drive from post 1 we arrived at post 2 and directly diriin tent and continue the journey tomorrow. Unfortunately when we want to tent ourselves, rain down, where beruga (saung) in the 2nd post has been controlled by other climbers, so we drenched somewhat fitting tent ourselves. In post 2 there is a water source just under the bridge, but not feasible to drink directly because it smells a bit, preferably the water is used for cooking purposes only.
Day 2, Travel Post 2 - Hill of Regret - Plawangan Sembalun
Good morning! It's our first morning in Rinjani, the weather is very bright, even when out of the tent, Rinjani seemed to welcome us to come. The condition of post 2 is very open, so if the hot weather is really hot, if cold is okay, but not so cold because it is still under 2000 mdpl, so kind of Bogor Peak is cold. While making breakfast instant porridge, then there is a celebration business, around 9 am we continue the journey to Plawangan Sembalun. Today's journey is the heaviest journey along Mount Rinjani because we will pass a hill that he said to make us upset erratic, ehmmm.
Etape pos 2 - pos 3
The journey from post 2 to post 3 has started quite heavy, incline and a little bonus. Actually that make heavy because we can see the path from post 2 to post 3, it feels close to the eye but far on the knee, plus the weather when it's very hot, the more tired. Before arriving at post 3, we will meet the same name 3 extra post, so do not be happy because it is still about 10 minutes from the post 3 extra with a path that has climbed. Exactly at 10 am or 1 hour drive from post 2, we arrived at post 3. The camp area at post 3 is quite wide, but it is not as big as post 2, and in post 3 there is no water source. From post 3, we can see the hill which is said to make the knees same heart sometimes not in line, which he said ready climbers who climbed Rinjani via this hill would be upset, hmmm yap name 7 hills regret. Why his name is 7 hills of regret? Because we are going up the hill to 7 seeds! Yes, no lie, keep fit we gawk upwards, the impression is rich peak Plawangan Sembalun, but that's just the top of the hill only, so this path is also called the path of trickery ..
Stage post 3 - Seven Hills of Regret - Plawangan Sembalun
After resting for half an hour, we also prepare to continue the journey back to the second check point of Plawangan Sembalun. The journey from post 3 to Plawangan is very heavy, plus the weather at that time is often fickle, sometimes scorching heat, sometimes cool due to mist cover. But sure, if we pass this path fits hot, really torture! At that time the weather was foggy, so we did not see the hill above so there was no impression of PHP. The track? A little bonus. Bonus yes if we arrive at every hilltop, after that go on guys.
After a 1 hour 30 minute journey, we arrived at the extra post in the middle of the hill of regret. People say, if we are already in this extra post, the sign is near from Plawangan Sembalun. Yeah close, but the climb is not fair! But the advantage, the path from the post extra to plawangan this tend to be shady because on my left I see a lot of cypress trees, then here I also can only smile if there is a porter passing over me, they are really strong, just wearing sandals, and big bamboo to carry a weight of 20 kilograms, really great, very strong.
Oh yes I want a little story, so the five kids that snapshot, either because they are novice climber or what, as it passes through the hills of regret, they speeding the road kek kek R1, same rich ines also, girls but tigers! And for fun, they all say if the hills regret not make sorry, but make them happy. As for me and Satria the very back, already rich guys leech guys while eating the chocolate, the original foot of the craft!
Exactly at half hour 1 pm we continue the journey from extra post to plawangan sembalun. This trip is heavier than before, yes it's more cool, but the mazjos jago climb, almost as rich as the steep climb Prau bull but more steep again. Here I rest a lot, because the legs begin to cramp, satria too, just the same ines five children that snapshot is speeding steadily. Long story short, in the last hill that the path is very steep, and already seen the top Plawangan Sembalun, exactly at 14:45 or about 2 hours 15 minutes we (more precisely me and the nobleman for the back) finally arrived too! Cihuyyy!
At that time Plawangan condition rather quiet and also foggy. We went a little way to the camp area, near the water source. From Plawangan last way approximately 10 minutes with contours up and down. Arriving at the end of the lane, where the drain lane to the top and to the water source, we also immediately set up a tent. Oh yes it was said Satria, Rinjani is not usually quiet, but usually in Plawangan we want to go really aja really difficult because tents are everywhere. After the tent stood, cook lunch, photographs, around 6 pm we slept all because for preparation summit to Dewi Anjani early morning. Oh yes FYI aja, in Plawangan Sembalun there is a toilet, but the condition is very pathetic :(, plus a lot of land mines there, gatau again what to do :( .. mine do not make us sick, but make our way so lame :( (
Day 3, Plawangan Sembalun - Puncak Dewi Anjani - Segara Anak Lake
Telolettelolettelolet, exactly at half past 12 our alarm malware sounds, and preparation to the summit of Rinjani, the third highest peak in Indonesia. Before climbing, we make breakfast early for our energy, this is mandatory if you gamau exhausted when summit. We make spagetti just an instant but make full. Oh yes the noble did not go to the top because of ever, and he said the peak just once wrote, hmm okay dah akamsi mah free kek Zlatan. Exactly at 1.15 am, with bismillah we also make summit to the third peak in Indonesia!
The starting line from our tent was uphill, and just a few minutes down the road, the path that had been the ground turned into a pretty tired sand. Sand is often really slumped, but do not make the foot drown like Semeru. Long story short for 1 hour drive, we have arrived at Rinjani ridge (really cool) or if we call it Plawangan Sembalun above, because this is the peak of all Plawangan. From here varied tracks, sometimes flat, sometimes climb but not steep, just ga down, and the path was sand, but again do not make foot drown like Semeru. The five sumpret children initially uda kepedean will cepet to the top, because the peak of Rinjani is already visible really, but it has been a long way really not to the point, until in the end the path that tends to change to sandy rocky, steep climb, and pebbly, yap welcome to letter E ridge guys!
Yep, letter E ridge is the heaviest stage along the way to the top. The steep path is about 50-55 degrees, sandy, rocky, and gravel, making the road difficult, plus the cold wind is not hard to breath. But I admit, the path to the top of Rinjani is not as difficult as Semeru, because if Semeru, the sand is really loose right, but this is delicious. The tip is you step on the sand that has been stepped by other climbers let ga slump or fall. Oh yes the Letter E line is also narrow, right left of the abyss. If left the gorge straight to savana sembalun, right ravine directly to the mountain Anak Barujari. Here we have a lot of breaks, let alone the five new snatches ngedown in this path, the spirit of it! Their desire to get to the top before sunrise materialized, exactly at 6 am or a journey for 4 hours 45 minutes, we arrived at the top of Dewi Anjani, the third Peak in Indonesia! Rinjani peak condition is very narrow, and also crowded, we also have to queue for photos. But all our sacrifices are not just about photographs, but can enjoy God's grace above this third peak in Indonesia together.
The weather was really bright, from the top, we can see clearly all of Lombok, even Gili Trawangan located far from Rinjani looks very clear, then a row of exotic hills in Sembalun, Gunung Agung in Bali, and also Mount Tambora in Sumbawa is clearly visible. Once satisfied the photographs at the top and enjoy the beauty of the universe, exactly at half past eight in the morning we went back down. The trip down from the top was quite steep, let alone see the letter E from the top, still ga guess me and my friends can get through the track. Oh yes down from the top is also quite good, rich in skis like in Semeru, but if here we are easy jatoh because there are still many big rocks attached to the sand. Oh yes we are also a lot of narcissists during the lane, let alone see the original Barujari really cool from above. In short we arrive again in the tent at half an hour or half an hour or 3 hours down, it's the photographs that are over time.
