It has been a long time I wish I
could join my friend to climb the mount. Beside physical problem, get the
permission from parents become my first problem at that time. Then, the
invitation comes from one of my college friend asked me to join to climbing at
august 15-17, 2014 as the independence day of Indonesia. At the first I doubt
my parents would permit me but after the long explanation, I successfully
convinced my parents that it is okay because there will be much people who
climb at that time.
After long discussion, then our
choice goes to mount Papandayan because almost all of us are newbie. The track
to Papandayan is not really hard. Much people said that mount is good to the
newbie.
August 15, 2014
There are 5 of us who’s decided
to climb at the time. Me, Bude, Debie and Uya are from Jakarta and Rendi is
from Cikarang. We started from Jakarta at 10pm and arrived at Cikarang at 11pm.
After re-pack in Cikarang we continue the trip to Garut.
Arrived a t Garut and parked the
car on the parking area (1st post) at 4am and had a breakfast before
start to climb at 5.30. It was a good start because we can see the sun rises in
the horizon. It was outstanding; we stand above the cloud and show the golden
line in the east sky.
