However, he eventually intention to cancel the summit due to run out of clean water.

Climbing next to the Rinjani are always rely on porters. Geological Survey volcanologists from Bandung, Kama Kusumadinata, which climb Rinjani in 1969, also rely on local porters. With the four-member climbing team, Kusumadinata local porters carry eight, including one from Senaru adat. "People - men are strong - strong running," said Kusumadinata.The climb to Rinjani in the past must be accompanied adat. Ascent time was also accompanied by stakeholders because Rinjani mountain is still considered a sacred place. At that time, not many people around Rinjani is a porter. Residents prefer to be a farmer. Sembalun debuted as a producer of garlic. Residents climb Rinjani was more to find a cure or be imprisoned.Until 1990 - an, looking porter at the Rinjani is not easy. In addition to the difficult terrain, not just anyone dared to climb to get there. Mount Rinjani is a sacred mountain for local residents.

As we know, the New7Wonders Foundation is the organizer of the seven wonders of the world which of them to nominate the Komodo National Park. And the ambassador himself and his party dubious foundation New7Wonders. And here are odd New7Wonders which were dictated by the Indonesian Ambassador to Switzerland, Djoko Susilo.
"The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Bern, Switzerland, felt the need to give the following explanation," Djoko said in an e-mail dated October 31, 2011. And this chronology is Djoko.
1. December 2007, N7W announced the inauguration of the campaign. At this early stage was elected three tourist destinations of Indonesia and the nomination is the Komodo National Park, Lake Toba, and Mount Anak Krakatau, along with 440 nominations from 220 countries.

6. On 6 December, the parties agree N7W Indonesia as the host with the liscense fee of 10 million U.S. dollars.
7. On December 29, 2010, N7W Head of Communications issued a threat through N7W Eamon Fitzgerald who gave the deadline until January 31, 2011 to the Indonesian government, to declare his willingness to host. If that deadline is not until there is firmness, it will suspend N7W Komodo National Park status as a finalist N7W.
8. Todung Mulya Lubis, attorney Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (formerly Kembudpar) RI, on February 2, 2011 sent a letter electronically to protest the planned elimination N7W and KNP as a finalist. Five days later, the letter was addressed with the address N7W lawyer in London. Contents, KNP is not eliminated, but the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenbudpar) can no longer be an official supporting committee (OSC).
9. On February 11, 2011, Todung Mulya Lubis sent a letter via e-mail again and asked the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenbudpar) to return to OSC. The second letter was not in charge.
10. Fixed inclusion of KNP as a finalist without the participation of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenbudpar) as the OSC's make national pride harassed. Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy representing the Government of Indonesia should not come to promote it.
11. Last week, the Maldives (Maldives), one of 28 finalists, withdrew from the competition was held N7W. Near the small island nation of Sri Lanka withdrew because of financial affairs N7W charged.
12. On 28 April 2011, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy sent an eight-member delegation comprising ministry officials, a lawyer from the Office of the Attorney Lubis, Santosa and Maulana, and several national reporters to investigate the existence of N7W.

14. The team from Jakarta who assisted Bern Embassy staff paid a visit to the address written as N7W Foundation office: Hoschgasse 8, PO Box 1212, 8034 Zurich. Apparently the postal code of the address given is not appropriate. Should address are: Hoschgasse 8, PO Box 1212, 8008 Zurich, where there are Heidi Weber Museum diarsiteki Le Corbusier and completed in 1967. The museum is only open in summer (June, July, August) of the hours of 14:00 to 17:00.
15. The team from Jakarta also to approach the office of Attorney Law Office of Patrick Sommer CMS von Erlach Henrici Ltd, for assistance.
16. As a foundation, the existence of N7W quite unique. The foundation is not clearly address, e-mail addresses except for her, only written N7W stand in Panama, the Swiss legal entities, and his lawyer are in the UK.
17. Swiss people do not know N7W Foundation, and foundations are not part of the UNESCO.
18. As is known, in 1991, the Komodo National Park along the National Park Ujungkulon, Borobudur Temple and Prambanan Temple, included by UNESCO as world heritage. Because the reputation of UNESCO as the UN specialized agency which was founded in 1945 that far exceeded N7W, we should not be goaded by the rules of the game N7W.

Appreciate Life With Adventure

There was one said - said, that those who love adventure in the wild is people - people who love death. Really? Actually idioms wrong, because that's who appreciates life adventure. There is a desire to give meaning and value in life. And it's true if a philosophy says: "In the middle of the jungle and in the wild, I feel like a man again"
Adventurer who perished on the mountain (other outdoor activities), not the people who love death. His death was in fact no different from the death of another person who was hit by a car on a highway or killed robber. "To be sure, they killed it in an attempt to appreciate life." Life should be more than modest "wrote Budi Laksmono killed rolled Alas River rapids, Aceh, 1985.For the layman, gait adventurer like mountain climbers always invite the cliched question: what's going there?. Simple question, but that were often confusing, or even invite resentment. F George Mallory, the famous British mountaineers, maybe just annoyed enough when answering: Because it is there, because the mountains there!, Mallory with a friend, disappeared in the tips of Everest in 1924.Full Flat Various answers may emerge, Soe Hoek Gie, cofounder Mapala UI, wrote in a poem: "I Love You Pangrango, Because I love Courage Living". For these youth, the courage to live it must be paid with his life. Soe Hok Gie was killed with a friend Idhan Lubis, choking poisonous gas dilereng Mahameru cone, Mount Semeru, December 16, 1969, dipelukkan a friend, Herman O Lantang.Active youth day - the day involved in the matter - a matter complicated political world may be regarded as an arena of adventure in the mountains to train the courage to face life. Perhaps also as his escape from the world that they do in the city. Herman O Lantang convinced that his friend had died with a smile dibibir. "He dies amid companions - companions in the wild, away from the dirty political intrigue" he said.Motivation activities in the outdoors, especially climbing Mount indeed various kinds. Humans have a need for psychological as well as needs - other needs: The need for new experiences, need for achievement, and need to be recognized by the community and nation. Climbing the mountain is one of the means to meet the needs - needs that, consciously or not. All this is legitimate, of course.Actually, the most fundamental of all the motivation it is curious that the soul of every human being. Curiosity is a basic activity of the mountain climbing and other adventures. Desire - the equivalent of curiosity curiosity of a child, and this is what encourages the courage and fortitude to face the challenges of nature. But what exactly is the courage and fortitude it for Mountain Climbers?Peter Boardman, a British mountain climber, becomes saturated with praise - praise that insistent - insistently, after reaching the summit of Mount Everest via the difficult West Wall in 1975. Peter Boardman who then lost in the Northeast Ridge of Everest in 1982 to write the meaning of courage and perseverance for him.

"It takes more courage to face life - the day the truth is more cruel than the real dangers of climbing. Fortitude takes more to work in the city rather than climb a high mountain."Courage and perseverance are needed when climbing a mountain just a small part of our lives. The danger that threatens much more there in the world civilization, in urban rather than mountains, forests, in caves, and anywhere in the open. In the world of modern civilization, in the city, so many problems that require courage and perseverance to complete. In the mountains, the problems we face only one: "How to achieve a peak, then down again safely."




George F. Mallory, Soe Hoek Gie, Idhan Dhanvantari Lubis, Norman Edwin, Didiek Samsu, Peter Boardman, Budi Laksmono, and much more adventurous and other wilderness explorer who died in his mission, they are all highly appreciate LIFE!"COURAGE TO FACE LIFE IS A PROBLEM THAT QUESTION MARK, WITHOUT OUR BIDDING. RECEIVED AND FACE" (Soe Hoek Gie)

The Ability To Possess The Wild Activists

 

The holidays are typically used by many members of nature lovers to climb the mountain. But several times we see or hear the misfortune suffered by mountain climbers. Many disasters befell those mountain climbers in particular due to missing or lost until the cause of death. Why did it happen?
As mountaineering activities in the wild need to be aware well as high-risk activities. Because there is a change adjustment to the environment that we shall come. Of urban life in a comfortable and safe with all the trimmings, to the extreme environmental conditions.


Usually we live in a nice house, cool, protected from the hot sun, cold and rainy night and sleep on a soft bed with a warm blanket. Not to mention the fast food and beverages are available from the servants at home and at hawker. All that would change dramatically if we climb the mountain.
Supplies during the climb we carry in a backpack heavy equipment, including equipment and other woods. Tent for shelter should be established to avoid the cold temperatures at altitude as well as wind and rain - when it comes to arriving - arrived. Food and beverages must also be processed first before we enjoy it.
Not to mention the environmental conditions on the way. Dense forest and the road uphill and not infrequently we have to pass through the outskirts of the cliff with a deep ravine. With a situation like that obviously necessary preparation and planning before we climb the mountain in comfort.
An expert on outdoor education, Colin Mortlock, said that the activist nature must have some ability in berkegiatan. That ability is the technical capability associated with rhythm and balance of movement and efficient use of equipment. For example, climbers must understand the rhythm of walking while doing the climb, maintain balance on the steep and rugged terrain while carrying heavy loads as well as understand the advantages and disadvantages of supplies and equipment were taken and understand how to use it.
Then, the ability of fitness that includes specific fitness required for certain activities, cardiovascular fitness and circulation, as well as conditioning the body's ability to pressure the natural environment.
Next, the ability of humanity. This concerns the development of positive attitudes in all aspects to improve. This includes determination / willingness, confidence, patience, concentration, self analysis, self-reliance, and ability to lead and be led.




A climber should be able to understand the situation himself physically and mentally so that he can perform self-control during the ascent, especially if done in a group, he should be able to put themselves as members of the group and work together as a team.
No less important is the ability of environmental understanding. The development of awareness of the dangers of the specific environment. Insights on the climate and terrain of activities must have a climber. He must understand the influence of environmental conditions on him and his influence on the environmental conditions which he attended.
The four aspects of these abilities must be possessed by a climber before he made the climb. Because you will face is not only a challenging experience with the natural beauty he saw up close, but also a very high risk, a danger that could threaten safety.
