For first-time climbers may be puzzled to find the hiking trail, and just running around in Ranu Pani, for that after arriving at the welcome gate, note continues to the left toward the hill, do not follow the broad road toward the farm population. In addition to the usual path passed through Watu Rejeng hikers, there is also a commonly used shortcut local hikers, the path is very steep with a traverse of Mount Ayek-ayek.Initial path we've been through ramps, down a hillside dominated by reed plants. There are no signs pointing toward the road, but there are signs at every 100m distance measure, we just follow the signs. There are many fallen trees and branches above the head, so we must often lowered his head, bag high keril very uncomfortable.After walking about 5 km down the hillside overgrown Edelweis, we will arrive at Watu Rejeng. We will see a very beautiful craggy rocks. We saw beautiful views towards the valley and hills, overgrown with spruce and pine forests. Sometimes we can see clouds of smoke from the top semeru.

The headings in the form of large meadow at the edge of pine forest, so a lot of available twigs to a bonfire.There is a spring water source Mani, to the west (right) tracing Kalimati forest edges with a distance of 1 hour round trip. In Kalimati and there are many rats in Arcopodo mountain when we set up a tent and want to sleep should store food in a safe place.To go Arcopodo we turn left (East) runs about 500 meters, then turn right (south) down a little meadow Kalimati. Arcopodo within 1 hour of Kalimati through pine forests which are very steep, with soils prone to landslides and dusty.

Beginning of the journey that gambling is actually given based on predictions BMKG February is the peak rainy season, and with the blessing of Almighty God and the hope of good weather and light, thank God all went well. Two hours drive from Jakarta to Makassar (South Sulawesi), 6 hours drive from Makassar to Barraka, 2-3 hours of Barraka towards the village of Rante Lemo, 2 hour walk from the village of Rante Lemo to Hamlet essay.

Here I'll share a story about a trip the three of us in the land of South Sulawesi, from the ground up to the highest Sulawesi coast. The three of us are Juny Angan Primary as Mountain Medical Elite (MME), Awaludin Jamil as the Mountain Runner Pro (MRP), and as a writter Nesariesta Pro (WP)Day 1I start this story from Surabaya, with leave for the island of Sulawesi through the air by climbing an iron bird or general public mention is the plane. The time between Surabaya and Sulawesi, differing by 1 hour, so that was announced in the iron bird before landing in South Sulawesi land, if such in Surabaya 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock in Sulawesi. Air travel takes 1 hour old.Finally after all these years I re-set foot on this ancestral land. Few stories are stuck in the brain that this error, at least there was. Tuesday exact on February 22, 2011 in the morning I get out of Sultan Hasanuddin Airport Makassar, to wait for MME and MRP departing from Jakarta. Here too there are some taxis that can take us. After meeting them both, the three of us headed out the airport area with the motorcycle taxi.Arriving at the destination, we began to confusion or maybe I'm just confused. Because looking at some different means of transport and different forms of purpose, here is made family car as a means of public transportation with a distinctive license plate color is yellow. People around here kind enough to tell if there are cars that were heading our route today from Makassar to Barraka. Soon came the car's nose, and meluncurlah us to Barraka.In the car we were busy looking around, observing the city around with keasingannya. Fortunately for the passengers is not so much so we can deflect this body freely. While talking with the driver, we see that there are hills lined along the street. This trip takes about 6 hours to Barraka.On the way we stopped at the depot to eat, I guess this is the facility that we get but the food turned out to pay for itself. Our driver was a little freak, obsession with race cars. Instead of looking forward, I prefer the look left and right mountainous seas with a solid cliffs. And one after another we started to fall asleep at the speed of this car. Upon entering the area Enrekang, the cliffs look more closely, the cliffs are separated again stood like a party. Perhaps here a paradise for climbers. There is a remaining large flag attached to one wall of a nearby cliff, the cliff Mandu name.In the afternoon we arrived Barraka, precisely Barraka down in front of the market. Here we met a friend who previously did not know, he is my brother's friend, a friend during school. He was kind enough to invite us to the home stage. The house is simple and convenient. All are made of wood. With a welcome from the friendly parents.While we were allowed to stay here because of the vehicle to Lemo Dante (Dante confused me ato Rante Lemo Lemo's called) there tomorrow morning, but it rarely is because the vehicle was only crowded during market day, market day in the area Barraka are Monday and Thursday usually, while tomorrow is a rare Wednesday. In this house we also met with residents around, telling stories about the area here, and we also exchanged stories about our own origins.Day 2The morning was so cold. One by one we get up and look around. Barraka are among the vast mountains, left right front back of the mountains all. Several cups of tea are available on the coffee table. We actually do not want to bother, though not given food or drink, we could cook our own stove. What can make, we could not refuse their kindness here.Once the sun is illuminating enough room in the house, we contacted several vehicles that may want to Dante Lemo this morning, it turns out there who had left at dawn, we passed. As a precaution, be sure to keep coming back to the market, who knows there are more vehicles, happened in this market there are also stalls that we could live to wait for the owners are friendly and good hearted.We wondered at the inhabitants around the market of vehicles that want to Dante Lemo, most of them suggested that fitting to leave tomorrow morning market day Thursday. After we negotiate, what may make us stay another night, but not in the house again but at this stall. It was still early to wait for the next break, the three of us standing in front of the stall to see kesibukkan market players that looks like a roll of tape is out of place.Freight markets come and go and go continuously, which makes me interested is any transportation that comes, several men rushed to take the goods brought transportation, they were keen to reduce the weight of the items look more severe than that brought the climbers bag normally. This type of activity continues from morning to evening, the locals told me that before the market day activities like this are always there.Quite often I get into the back of this stall to rest my eyes began to lose direction, and then out again with curiosity. The view in this market does look crowded, but if we look up and see a bit about the market that is surrounded by green hills, blue sky roof. The shop owner offer us to rise to the top of one hill to see the sights Barraka from above, and it sounds interesting to try this afternoon. Meanwhile we still stick with the market outlook ahead, by listening to their distinctive languages.Was late and we each had a shower, the owner of the shop is still busy with customers. We are ready to ascend to the hill that is behind the market fit this Barraka. After serving a buyer, we along with stall owners, and also my new friends know that toward the hill, past some old houses, past the suspension bridge that carries us across a river. The terrain is open, there are only a few trees, on top of this hill there are several graves that make us call this hill hill cemetery.Following up on here, the landscape becomes widespread, all the mountains visible in people's homes between them, accompanied with the sun to finish its work today. Barraka market looks neat from up here, form boxes as terminals. The air feels so different than if we were under. After the sun had sunk half, we went back down the hill toward the cemetery kiosks. Not bad for warming up the soil before the highest Sulawesi.Day 3Thursday, February 24, 2011 early morning, the three of us started packing to leave for the next village while awaiting the arrival of a car in this market. Luckily my friend had had a driver's cell phone number, so we can be alerted if the car was ready to go. We took the breakfast was provided by the kindness of the owner of the stall with his trademark sauce that will make us miss. Around 10:30 the car was waiting for us to get to Dante Lemo.We would also like parting with my friends and the owner of this shop but it turned out we were told to return to this shop if it is down from Mount Latimojong, we also gladly agreed. Car waiting for us in the back of this market and it's not just the three of us who want to climb but there are some of Pare-pare climbers who were on this car type Strada.Sunny weather today, but not the path that will be passed this car, the first lane was paved, then turned the rocks. I put up the horses and both hands gripping the edge of this car because shocks do not cease. Then the path turned into a muddy sand that makes car tires almost drowned, offroad sensation we feel is really here. Not be outdone by the scenery around us is full of ridges are each hiding. This journey through some of the outskirts of the mountains, with a distance close the gap next to this car. During the trip we exchanged stories and joking with the climbers of Pare-pare rule out the tension.Promptly at 2 pm we reached the village of Dante Lemo, stopping right in front of river rapids, some of us there is a wash here. We did not linger here, after preparing the default, we walk together towards the next village called Authorship. The journey to this essay through raging rivers, through a small bridge, then up to the ridge of the hill. Lane wide, rocky and sandy. Cloudy weather made us a little rush before the power runs out, hit by rain, and sure enough, heavy rain fell. Our poncho tide and continued the trip, some friends from the Pare are sheltering in the cabin plantation population. This heavy rainfall was only briefly, then drizzle. To arrive at the village of Authorship, our journey takes approximately 2 hours.The air in this village are very cool, and temperatures would be cold. All the houses on stilts and still uses power from the turbine is in motion by the water flowing. The main plantation here is coffee, which will often we skip the beginning of the climb. Our beginnings are frantically looking for the village chief's house here, not because bilingual constraints. But eventually we found him after one of the residents pointed to one house.Here we intend to permit to climb, and spend the night before. The warmth in this house may differ slightly due to the wind here is a little tight sneak in between the wooden walls of the crush. Many of the conversations going on here, including the stories of someone who has often led climbers. The more nights, I began issuing a sleeping bag while cooking rice for breakfast next morning.Day 4Around 4 am, I awoke from my sleep because of the song comes to a typical city in the MRP mobile phone that deliberately as an alarm for the three of us. We had been planning to start climbing up early because we calculated the estimated trip last night and we were forced to split up temporarily with the climbers from Pare because they leave at 8 he said. Dawn air was making me a little lazy to get out of my sleeping bag. Preparing food for a while relaxing waiting with little eyes closed. Because rice is cooked last night, we stayed to cook side dishes pauknya only.Bluish color typical day starts early look at the sidelines of the timber walls, we hurried to pack your goods. Included sandals, shoes removed, said goodbye to the others. The three of us gathered in front of the house, praying first. Promptly at 7 am we started this climb. Home our people make the initial steps of confusion, but was overcome by asking locals. Armed with the climbers earlier story, we were guided to the post 1, which through several branches. To get to the post 1 we do not have to worry about running out of water, because we passed several streams whose voice will continue to sound until the post 3 at least. Track the beginning has made me breathe hard. Incline is so steep we had to face before reaching the post first. Wherever possible we break for a while, because we do not understand what the next track that will be passed.We arrived at the post one at 8:40. The view from here looks so stunning eyes, the mountains that has a ridge that many times, and some peaks stand one another formidable challenge. We sat for a moment, drinking water, then fill the spirit with the existing landscape. Travel back followed by melipir the edges of the hill with a slope that I think is so extreme, and then continued to climb, the path we passed a narrow majority of the lines attached to the edge of a cliff, if I could just make a regular standing one foot tall. The roots will be required to handle.And on this path even MME had slipped into the abyss, lucky backpack still stuck in a tree branch and can be saved without one any less. After the climb, the path becomes spotty, depending on what the will of the tree is located if there is a tree on the edge of the path we will automatically go through and up the roots that ran down the ravine and then down a bit, and so on until the next post.Postal 2 at 10:15, located just above the rushing stream of water, under a large rock cliff protruding make room below, may be enough for a tent. Here we met the other climbers who want to come down from Palopo. Chatted for a while, recharge water supplies. About 15 minutes we spent some time here. And we started our journey back. Very surprising for the initial line of this post, but the slope is a little wider path that is very unlikely to be standing upright or release the hand from the existing roots. And will continue uphill until the third post later. Because the slope angle close to 80? -90?. And sure enough, during this ramp only meet if we find the post.Pos 3 at 11:37, catching her breath for a moment here. We can not linger longer because of sweat cools the body in addition to temperature as well. In my four trips to the post was able to relax a little bit but still with a hill to climb that hill did not like the post 2 to post 3. The journey continues to climb to make this stomach rebelled and my mind has begun to stress staring path, occasionally stopping to look back line which I passed. Want the heart at the sky blue with clouds, but forest cover is still reluctant to show the sky. My eyes have started to see the roots of the dance. And we finally arrive at 12:51 am post 4, but only sat for a while to sighed, and hurried to the next post and lunch.5 heading towards the jungle Latimojong already crowded with beards of moss around the track. At 14:50 in the post 5, this post has a pretty broad plains, typically the climbers spent the night here, roughly enough to set up more than 3 tents contents of 4 or 3 people. The air here feels chill faster when we just sat down to rest, unpack some cooking appliances. Time for lunch, along with her stomach. Without being too long to cook rice, rice noodles are cooking only and some snacks. At 15:30 the three of us started the journey again this stress after packing our bags each. My journey this time slightly faster than ever before nanjak increasingly weakened, along with stress has terobat terisinya stomach. The sun was directly behind us, not too hot because the dense jungle to the post 6.Heading 6 16:20 am, look around more narrow area of heading 5, the width but slightly skewed. Done sit down and take some photos for a while, we went back Cantigi Some plants begin to dominate the way complete with their beards are green to brown, I got a lesson here by the MME that there are others who are researching moss-like beard- this beard. This moss can be a measure of how many years the plant is alive or located and as inikator change the earth's temperature, the longer the beard moss is the better level of the surrounding air.Latimojong jungle getting ready to present the landscape, the trees have started to open pelukkannya to give us a chance to see blue sky and white clouds, jalurpun have prepared the rock like a red carpet welcome. The source of light began to offer senjanya, right in the open land we saw how beautiful the mountains Latimojong, the hills are lined with each other, with their green-colored blankets the sun, I feel a rare tranquility while the path to the post 7. Irregular breath has started again, looking down occasionally to treat this tired. Finally heading 7 was seen between the thick fog and strong winds.Pos 7 At 18:20, it is not likely set up a tent on the ground post 7 is due to winds coming from several directions, the left post 7 there is a little path down to the spring. We rushed to get there and decided to open a tent right on the edge of a small stream, the wind here is not too feels tight because it lies between the two ridge. End of this creek there is a small waterfall down to the pool nodes, makes me want to do the impossible I do dikeadaan temperatures like this. Already dark, we entered the tent up a few items from the bag. Tonight we cook in the tent at once to be able to keep warm. For the sake of conversation we will track bincangan forget that we passed along. Silence of the night was not so pronounced due to the strains of a small river that keeps flowing lelapnya accompany the three of us slept.Day 5Before sunrise we wake up, to prepare breakfast for strength to get to the top of the Chain Mario. A little light made us curious about the situation outside the tent. Fog and high winds are still playing on top of our tent to make us hesitate to muncak today. From where we were staying did not look like what circumstances this mountaintop. So we decided to postpone the intention to peak this morning until the situation is really bright, at least we are coming all the way from the land of Java can enjoy the blue sky in the Chain of Mario, the highest land in Sulawesi.Soon appeared several climbers from Pare who went with the time of Barraka to Authorship. They want to take water for cooking in the post 7. They camp in the post 5 last night and this morning going to the summit. Maybe we can also with them to the top. Our curiosity will make a state behind this fog did not stay long at home in a tent, we decided to try to top anything that happened later. At 13.15, we got back to the post 7, turned out to climbers of Pare-pare open bivaknya here to have breakfast first. We said goodbye to go first to the summit.Initial path is uphill again, but not long. The wind was still blowing hard from all directions. At the end of the ramp there is a wide plain with branching paths, it appears there was a small lake in the mist, but we do not have time to get there because the wind is still strong, this branching toward the top Nenemori if to the right, and left onto Chain Mario. We continue the journey toward Chain Mario through several small hills, endlessly I thought the end of these hills is the peak but it turns out we have not found a peak with a triangulation. Quicken our step to avoid the wind blowing in open fields, and then hid in thick cantigi sidelines.The fog finally showed Triangulation Chain Mario, at 14:25 we set foot on the summit. Chain Mario, the wind kept getting stronger bring fog to the top, occasional blue sky visible as we menatas above our heads, but only slightly and briefly. We took refuge at the edge of the triangulated to avoid the wind, waiting for the present magnificent blue sky.Pare-pare the climbers started to arrive, they are very happy to have arrived at the Chain of Mario, while we remain seated shelter allows them to take some photos with the flags of their organizations. Regrettably, all of a sudden the rain came down made us begin to shake. We reluctantly left the Chain Mario. And back to our tent that had passed through.Arriving at the tent, the rain was still flushed, but when the weather is very sunny afternoon, this is when we treat disappointment at the Chain Mario last time we went back onto the post 7, to enjoy the sunset, the atmosphere was like at the top Here again, the clouds that feels close , and the land below is covered by white clouds, complete with a magnificent blue sky. No passes to immortalize this moment. The wind speed is still relatively strong despite the sunny weather. Until the sun was gone, we went back down to our camp and spend the night one more day here and go back inside joke ria.Day 6Dawn we rushed to clean up all the stuff back down, fearing to miss a car in Dante Lemo who were heading back to Barraka, long journey back to pass. Extreme pathway is highly unlikely with a brisk walk through the situation especially with the muddy and steep. Slowly by slowly we continue, it may be easier when climbing up rather than down.Long story short, when she reached the second post, we met some people who want to study mice in this mountain, they told us that there is a waterfall nearby. I and MRP looking waterfall while MME was kept waiting at the post two because of fatigue. Gaza is still very visible in the new make, because many plants that still look new slashed. Tracing the river edge, then across the river to the other side. And we found a waterfall, still looks short, but if passed on to the top again, there may be higher. But the income limit for us and returned to the post 2.We continue to journey back through the village of Authorship to say goodbye to the hamlet head, and hurried to Dante Lemo, a step that has been staggering. Arriving at Dante Lemo, the car was already running off. Forced us to wait for another car who want to Barraka, lucky few of us have a phone number the driver, of Pare-pare climbers reach him, and told that the car will come tonight at 8.We took a break at the village chief's house, cooking together and swapped stories with the climbers from Pare-Pare in Sulawesi on the mountain and the mountain in Java. Joke after joke took us to forget the fatigue and time. And the car came, offroad journey began evening, open to the bright stars of our trip due to darkness. The three of us have felt a deep longing in the hospitality market stall owner in Barraka it, with typical cuisine. Not to forget the atmosphere of uproar Barraka market.Rest of the day we spent in Sulawesi Makassar circumference, and our final goal is in Bulukumba, namely Tanjung Bira. A very big thank you to those who have helped us along in Sulawesi. We really appreciate it, sorry if we were all a hassle.
6. Mount Binaya (Maluku)
Mount Binaiya which is the highest peak in the Maluku islands located on the island of Seram, Maluku. This mountain has a height of 3027 m.
If you have questions what is the highest mountain in the Moluccas? probably most people answered Binaiya mountain, is a mountain with an altitude of 3027 meters above sea level situated in the middle kab.maluku spooky island province of Maluku. Mountain can be reached via two paths are paths north and south lines. If we go through the north path, we can reach the foot of the mountain Binaiya for 2 days' journey by passing through three villages namely Huaulu Village, Village Roho and which is the last village kanikeh Binaiya plus foot mountain climbing for a half day. Unlike the case with the path south, passing through this path we will also find three villages in the course of Moso village, Village and Village Kanikeh Manusela which is meeting lane north and south lines. Mount Binaiya included into the National Park area Manusela.
Maybe some people who still do not know the condition of contemporary issues of Mount Binaiya be surprised when I heard that in order to climb Mount Binaiya requires no small cost. It becomes a matter that can not be accepted if to climb a mountain have to spend a deep but that's what happened today. Customary rules of society imposed Binaiya the foot of the mountain villagers kanike force for anyone who want to climb the mountain to pay the costs set out in their customary rules. According to recent data received from an organization named Matepala nature lovers who had held activities at the mountain is that the total fees they must pay as much as Rp.1.550.000 with the following details :1. Cost porter Rp.150.000/day
2. Customary cost Rp.100.000
3. Cost of inpatient Rp.250.000
4. Guest Book Rp.250.000
5. Income Binaiya Rp.500.000
Oddly enough explanation as to what reason and purpose of such payments is not clear, the reason only for the construction of the village and even if someone already knows the path up to Mount Binaiya but local law requires you to use the services of a porter to move up the mountain. Not to mention filling the guest book that is required to pay a fee, the cost of hospitalization is also required for camping is prohibited around the village for security reasons and other reasons are less absurd.
At the end of 2010 the rules of tradition comes into force, still less clear what underlies that this rule applies to birth and anyone who wishes to conduct activities in these locations. According to sources from organizations in Ambon nature lovers that the birth is due to customary regulatory coverage of cultural activities carried out by a media in the area. Media activities are indicated as an attempt to introduce money to the community as to streamline their operations, the media are spending a lot of money without being asked to support their activities.
Before the media increased, the climbers who usually perform the activities in this mountain menegeluarkan no charge at all to do the activity, simply by bartering goods we have, we can already use the services of a local person to accompany up to the mountaintop, or want to bring a souvenir in the form of craft hands of local people just simply bartered with goods such as clothing, cigarettes etc. that we have.
7. Cartenzs Pyramid, Mountains Jaya Wijaya (Papua)
Carstensz Pyramid, Puncak Jaya or called with a height of 4884 m. Cartenzs Pyramid is also the highest peak in Indonesia and also entered into one of the Seven Summit in the seven continents of the world. Cartenzs Pyramid is located in West Papua.
For mountain climbers, climbing and mountain ranges Jayawijaya Sudirman (Carstensz Pyramide), Irian Jaya, is a dream. Imagine, on one mountain peak (Sudirman) there is the highest point in Indonesia. Carstensz Pyramide (4884 masl) and save a lot of unique challenges. Not only because of the snow-covered peak in the tropics but including a row of 7 (seven) peak continents.
Do not be surprised if a top climber, climbers world-class racing to climb the highest peak in Australasia this. No less than the climber Heinrich Harrer whose life is played by Brad Pitt in Seven Years In Tibet became the first person to climb the Carstensz Pyramid. Then the climber Reinhold Messner was the first to reach the 14 peaks above 8,000 meters.
Pat Morrow who proclaimed Carstensz Pyramid as one of the seven peaks in seven continents of this earth. Irian was part of the continent of Australasia, he said. This resulted in world-class climbers, hikers flock to follow him among the first women Everest climber Junko Tabei ever touched this peak.
Unfortunately, the procedure permits a must-have made many climbers have to carry out the attack for the expedition. Moreover, the central mountainous region of Irian Jaya, was closed to climbing since Mapenduma kidnapping cases in 1995 to 1996.
Climbing permits are ComplicatedAmong mountain climbers in Indonesia there is satire about climbing mountains in Irian Jaya. "It's harder than taking care of his permission to climb the mountain," they complained. The main mountain-climbing permits to Carstensz Pyramide - in Irian Jaya is complicated and unclear. There is no valid license a piece such as climbing in Nepal where hikers are given a kind of passport complete sheet with photos and captions permission to climb the peak altitude in the area where.
In Nepal as successful and may submit any proof of the Tourism Ministry which handles these permits were issued a certificate of successful climbers. This ambiguity the ordinary happened during the New Order-survive for years with classic reason, security.
Galih Donikara, a senior Wanadri mention to climb this mountain must have a recommendation from Menpora office, Chief of Police, BIA-intelligence Indonesia, Menhutbun / PKA, PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI).If you want to pass Tembagapura plus the Indonesian Rock Climbing Federation (FPTI). It should all be taken care of in Jakarta. Then in Jayapura, the recommendations of Bakorstranasda and police chief must be bagged. In Timika, Freeport permit recommendation for EPO and track facility.
"Finally in Tembagapura, coordination with the Emergency Response Group (ERG) for handling Satgaspam Emergency Procedure and apparatus for track safety problems," explained mountain climber who had joined in the Indonesia-Everest '97 expedition this. Galih reach the summit Carstensz Pyramid with the Chinese team in the early years of this Millennium. Along with several civil and military climbers, they use the route via Tembagapura Timika to reach base camp.
If passed Nabire, a letter from Police Bakorstranasda and Irian Jaya should be reported to the police station and Kodim Paniai Nabire, both of which exist in the city of Nabire. Then last in Ilaga, all letters of recommendation given to the local Tripika (Ilaga), namely police, Koramil and Head.
But wait, the three leaders will decide whether or not to continue the expedition climbers. It all depends on the security situation at that time. If there is no danger that could threaten the safety of climbers such as tribal wars, the climber can begin. Now that's a long list of letters of recommendation to climb the roof of Indonesia. Complicated and troublesome.
Hertadi Mas Bambang, adventurers and seasoned long-distance cyclist, had thought better for the expedition to the top of Carstensz Pyramide, because of the difficulty of taking care of the ascent permit. Paimo, Bambang close calls, preferring to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, on the African continent for the expedition in 1987. "Mending all out (public), yet the cost and the difficult process of licensing is relatively not much different," he commented Paimo time.
Most of the mountain guides, professional climber up to class amateur, had to swallow disappointment. In fact according to them, a lot of foreign tourists who want to reach the white snow in the tropics. Uncertainty of the political problems of the earth of Paradise is also undermining efforts to make the Carstensz Pyramid and Sudirman mountains as a tourist destination could be the mainstay of Papua. For some people, Carstensz is a source of sustenance for itself and have a high selling price.
Scarcity of information about the two mountains that also makes the interest in mountain climbing mainly in Irian Jaya, Carstensz Pyramide-have receded in the middle of the road. Except, for the climbers are sufficient funds and experience. Not many books of "output" their own country that really tell the joy of reaching the roof of Indonesia's adventuring. At most, only some form of writing the results of the expedition to get there. Finally, local climbers, climbers must helter-skelter looking for information to several gatherings leading nature lovers and experienced in this country. But it's probably not how complicated than taking care of permissions. Until when?

2. Mount Semeru (Java)
Mount Semeru is the highest mountain in Java Island with an altitude of 3676 m. Mount Semeru is located inside the National Park areaBromo-Tengger-Semeru (TNBTS) in East Java. Semeru is the highest volcano in Java, with its peak Mahameru.Mount Sumeru is a sacred mountain residence of the Gods, is the highest mountain on the island of Java with a height of 3676 M above sea level (peak Mahameru).

There are four lakes (ranu): Ranu Pani, Ranu Regulo, Ranu Kumbolo, Ranu Darungan.It takes about four days to climb the peak of Mount Semeru round-trip. We recommend bringing lunch for one week because we would like to camp, it could be because the scenery and the atmosphere is very beautiful, or because of exhaustion after climbing the mountain semeru.To climb the mountain semeru can be reached via the town poor or Lumajang. From the city terminal unfortunate we ride public transportation to the village Tumpang. Connected again with a jeep or truck Vegetables are widely available in the market behind Overlapping terminal.Previously, we stopped at Gubugklakah to obtain a license, to the general charge Rp.6.500, - per person, while for the student and the student charged Rp.5.500, - per person.Using a vegetable truck or jeep journey starts from Ranu Pani Overlapping towards the last village at the foot semeru.

In Pos Ranu Pani also there are two lakes namely Lake (ranu) pani (1 ha) and ranu regulo (0.75 ha). Located at an altitude of 2200 masl.
Watu REJENG LANE
For first-time climbers may be puzzled to find the hiking trail, and just running around in Ranu Pani, for that after arriving at the welcome gate, note continues to the left toward the hill, do not follow the broad road toward the farm population. In addition to the usual path passed through Watu Rejeng hikers, there is also a commonly used shortcut local hikers, the path is very steep with a traverse of Mount Ayek-ayek.Initial path we've been through ramps, down a hillside dominated by reed plants. There are no signs pointing toward the road, but there are signs at every 100m distance measure, we just follow the signs. There are many fallen trees and branches above the head, so we must often lowered his head, bag high keril very uncomfortable.After walking about 5 km down the hillside overgrown Edelweis, we will arrive at Watu Rejeng. We will see a very beautiful craggy rocks. We saw beautiful views towards the valley and hills, overgrown with spruce and pine forests. Sometimes we can see clouds of smoke from the top semeru. To reach Ranu Kumbolo we still have to travel a distance of about 4.5 Km.Should take a break and set up a tent when arriving at Ranu Kumbolo. There is a lake with water that is clean and has very beautiful scenery, especially in the morning we saw the sunrise on the sidelines of hill. There are lots of fish, sometimes wild grouse. Ranu Kumbolo located at an altitude of 2400 m with an area of 14 ha.Of Ranu Kumbolo should prepare as much water as possible. Ranu Kumbolo leave us climb the steep hill, with beautiful views over the lake behind. In front of the hill we stretched a vast prairie called the oro-oro Ombo. Oro-oro Ombo surrounded by hills and mountains with beautiful views, large meadow with pine trees on slopes such as in Europe. From behind Mt. Kepolo looked peak Mt. Semeru belching smoke wedus trash.Next we entered the fir forests where sometimes we find birds and deer. There are many fallen trees that we had to step over or climb. This area is called Cemoro Cage.Pos Kalimati at an altitude of 2700 m, here we can set up a tent to rest and prepare physically. Then continue climbing in the early morning at 24.00. The headings in the form of large meadow at the edge of pine forest, so a lot of available twigs to a bonfire.There is a spring water source Mani, to the west (right) tracing Kalimati forest edges with a distance of 1 hour round trip. In Kalimati and there are many rats in Arcopodo mountain when we set up a tent and want to sleep should store food in a safe place.To go Arcopodo we turn left (East) runs about 500 meters, then turn right (south) down a little meadow Kalimati. Arcopodo within 1 hour of Kalimati through pine forests which are very steep, with soils prone to landslides and dusty. Can we also camped in Arcopodo, but less stable soil conditions and frequent landslides. We recommend using goggles and cover your nose because a lot of ash flying. Arcopodo located at an altitude of 2.900m, Arcopodo is the last area of vegetation on Mount Semeru, the rest of us will pass through the dunes.Arcopodo to the summit of Semeru takes 3-4 hours, past the dunes are very steep and easily degenerate. All luggage should we stay in Arcopodo or in Kalimati. Climbing to the summit made the early morning at around 2:00 am from Arcopodo. Body in fresh condition, and effective in using water. Field trips during the day that passed seemed less severe than feel the heat also will loose sand when exposed to heat. At noon the wind cendurung north toward the summit carrying toxic gases from the crater Jonggring Saloka.At the peak of Mount Mahameru (Sumeru) climbers are advised not to crater Jonggring Saloko, also banned from climbing the south side, because of the poisonous gas and lava flows. Mahameru dipuncak temperature range 40-10 degrees Celsius, at the height of the dry season minus 0 degrees Celsius, and ice crystals found. Weather is often foggy, especially at noon, afternoon and evening. The wind was blowing hard, in the month of December to January is often a storm.Wedus trash eruptions occur every 15-30 minutes at the peak of Mount Semeru is still active. In November 1997 Gn.Semeru erupted as much as 2990 times. At noon the wind direction to the summit, to avoid it came in the afternoon peak, because of toxic gases and the eruption leads to the summit.The eruption of white smoke, gray to black with a height of 300-800 meters eruption. The material that comes out at every eruption of ash, sand, gravel, rocks and even the heat is on very dangerous if hikers are too close. In early 1994 the hot lava flowed south slope Gn.Semeru and asked several casualties, hot views of the river winding towards the sea becomes a very interesting spectacle.The climb should be done in the dry season ie June, July, August, and September.

5.Rante Mario, Mountains Latimojong (Sulawesi)
Mountains Latimojong with Chain Mario is a mountain peak the highest in Sulawesi, with a height of 3478 meters. The mountain is located in South Sulawesi.
Beginning of the journey that gambling is actually given based on predictions BMKG February is the peak rainy season, and with the blessing of Almighty God and the hope of good weather and light, thank God all went well. Two hours drive from Jakarta to Makassar (South Sulawesi), 6 hours drive from Makassar to Barraka, 2-3 hours of Barraka towards the village of Rante Lemo, 2 hour walk from the village of Rante Lemo to Hamlet essay. The next 12 hours climbing up the post of Hamlet Essay 7, 45 minutes from heading to the top 7, and 6-hour trip to descended Latimojong taken, the next trip to enjoy the beautiful Cape of Bira in Bulukumba and continue to Makassar.This trip may be too lofty for me, but little by little I got experience that I have not felt before. Here I'll share a story about a trip the three of us in the land of South Sulawesi, from the ground up to the highest Sulawesi coast. The three of us are Juny Angan Primary as Mountain Medical Elite (MME), Awaludin Jamil as the Mountain Runner Pro (MRP), and as a writter Nesariesta Pro (WP)Day 1I start this story from Surabaya, with leave for the island of Sulawesi through the air by climbing an iron bird or general public mention is the plane. The time between Surabaya and Sulawesi, differing by 1 hour, so that was announced in the iron bird before landing in South Sulawesi land, if such in Surabaya 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock in Sulawesi. Air travel takes 1 hour old.Finally after all these years I re-set foot on this ancestral land. Few stories are stuck in the brain that this error, at least there was. Tuesday exact on February 22, 2011 in the morning I get out of Sultan Hasanuddin Airport Makassar, to wait for MME and MRP departing from Jakarta. Here too there are some taxis that can take us. After meeting them both, the three of us headed out the airport area with the motorcycle taxi.Arriving at the destination, we began to confusion or maybe I'm just confused. Because looking at some different means of transport and different forms of purpose, here is made family car as a means of public transportation with a distinctive license plate color is yellow. People around here kind enough to tell if there are cars that were heading our route today from Makassar to Barraka. Soon came the car's nose, and meluncurlah us to Barraka.In the car we were busy looking around, observing the city around with keasingannya. Fortunately for the passengers is not so much so we can deflect this body freely. While talking with the driver, we see that there are hills lined along the street. This trip takes about 6 hours to Barraka.On the way we stopped at the depot to eat, I guess this is the facility that we get but the food turned out to pay for itself. Our driver was a little freak, obsession with race cars. Instead of looking forward, I prefer the look left and right mountainous seas with a solid cliffs. And one after another we started to fall asleep at the speed of this car. Upon entering the area Enrekang, the cliffs look more closely, the cliffs are separated again stood like a party. Perhaps here a paradise for climbers. There is a remaining large flag attached to one wall of a nearby cliff, the cliff Mandu name.In the afternoon we arrived Barraka, precisely Barraka down in front of the market. Here we met a friend who previously did not know, he is my brother's friend, a friend during school. He was kind enough to invite us to the home stage. The house is simple and convenient. All are made of wood. With a welcome from the friendly parents.While we were allowed to stay here because of the vehicle to Lemo Dante (Dante confused me ato Rante Lemo Lemo's called) there tomorrow morning, but it rarely is because the vehicle was only crowded during market day, market day in the area Barraka are Monday and Thursday usually, while tomorrow is a rare Wednesday. In this house we also met with residents around, telling stories about the area here, and we also exchanged stories about our own origins.Day 2The morning was so cold. One by one we get up and look around. Barraka are among the vast mountains, left right front back of the mountains all. Several cups of tea are available on the coffee table. We actually do not want to bother, though not given food or drink, we could cook our own stove. What can make, we could not refuse their kindness here.Once the sun is illuminating enough room in the house, we contacted several vehicles that may want to Dante Lemo this morning, it turns out there who had left at dawn, we passed. As a precaution, be sure to keep coming back to the market, who knows there are more vehicles, happened in this market there are also stalls that we could live to wait for the owners are friendly and good hearted.We wondered at the inhabitants around the market of vehicles that want to Dante Lemo, most of them suggested that fitting to leave tomorrow morning market day Thursday. After we negotiate, what may make us stay another night, but not in the house again but at this stall. It was still early to wait for the next break, the three of us standing in front of the stall to see kesibukkan market players that looks like a roll of tape is out of place.Freight markets come and go and go continuously, which makes me interested is any transportation that comes, several men rushed to take the goods brought transportation, they were keen to reduce the weight of the items look more severe than that brought the climbers bag normally. This type of activity continues from morning to evening, the locals told me that before the market day activities like this are always there.Quite often I get into the back of this stall to rest my eyes began to lose direction, and then out again with curiosity. The view in this market does look crowded, but if we look up and see a bit about the market that is surrounded by green hills, blue sky roof. The shop owner offer us to rise to the top of one hill to see the sights Barraka from above, and it sounds interesting to try this afternoon. Meanwhile we still stick with the market outlook ahead, by listening to their distinctive languages.Was late and we each had a shower, the owner of the shop is still busy with customers. We are ready to ascend to the hill that is behind the market fit this Barraka. After serving a buyer, we along with stall owners, and also my new friends know that toward the hill, past some old houses, past the suspension bridge that carries us across a river. The terrain is open, there are only a few trees, on top of this hill there are several graves that make us call this hill hill cemetery.Following up on here, the landscape becomes widespread, all the mountains visible in people's homes between them, accompanied with the sun to finish its work today. Barraka market looks neat from up here, form boxes as terminals. The air feels so different than if we were under. After the sun had sunk half, we went back down the hill toward the cemetery kiosks. Not bad for warming up the soil before the highest Sulawesi.Day 3Thursday, February 24, 2011 early morning, the three of us started packing to leave for the next village while awaiting the arrival of a car in this market. Luckily my friend had had a driver's cell phone number, so we can be alerted if the car was ready to go. We took the breakfast was provided by the kindness of the owner of the stall with his trademark sauce that will make us miss. Around 10:30 the car was waiting for us to get to Dante Lemo.We would also like parting with my friends and the owner of this shop but it turned out we were told to return to this shop if it is down from Mount Latimojong, we also gladly agreed. Car waiting for us in the back of this market and it's not just the three of us who want to climb but there are some of Pare-pare climbers who were on this car type Strada.Sunny weather today, but not the path that will be passed this car, the first lane was paved, then turned the rocks. I put up the horses and both hands gripping the edge of this car because shocks do not cease. Then the path turned into a muddy sand that makes car tires almost drowned, offroad sensation we feel is really here. Not be outdone by the scenery around us is full of ridges are each hiding. This journey through some of the outskirts of the mountains, with a distance close the gap next to this car. During the trip we exchanged stories and joking with the climbers of Pare-pare rule out the tension.Promptly at 2 pm we reached the village of Dante Lemo, stopping right in front of river rapids, some of us there is a wash here. We did not linger here, after preparing the default, we walk together towards the next village called Authorship. The journey to this essay through raging rivers, through a small bridge, then up to the ridge of the hill. Lane wide, rocky and sandy. Cloudy weather made us a little rush before the power runs out, hit by rain, and sure enough, heavy rain fell. Our poncho tide and continued the trip, some friends from the Pare are sheltering in the cabin plantation population. This heavy rainfall was only briefly, then drizzle. To arrive at the village of Authorship, our journey takes approximately 2 hours.The air in this village are very cool, and temperatures would be cold. All the houses on stilts and still uses power from the turbine is in motion by the water flowing. The main plantation here is coffee, which will often we skip the beginning of the climb. Our beginnings are frantically looking for the village chief's house here, not because bilingual constraints. But eventually we found him after one of the residents pointed to one house.Here we intend to permit to climb, and spend the night before. The warmth in this house may differ slightly due to the wind here is a little tight sneak in between the wooden walls of the crush. Many of the conversations going on here, including the stories of someone who has often led climbers. The more nights, I began issuing a sleeping bag while cooking rice for breakfast next morning.Day 4Around 4 am, I awoke from my sleep because of the song comes to a typical city in the MRP mobile phone that deliberately as an alarm for the three of us. We had been planning to start climbing up early because we calculated the estimated trip last night and we were forced to split up temporarily with the climbers from Pare because they leave at 8 he said. Dawn air was making me a little lazy to get out of my sleeping bag. Preparing food for a while relaxing waiting with little eyes closed. Because rice is cooked last night, we stayed to cook side dishes pauknya only.Bluish color typical day starts early look at the sidelines of the timber walls, we hurried to pack your goods. Included sandals, shoes removed, said goodbye to the others. The three of us gathered in front of the house, praying first. Promptly at 7 am we started this climb. Home our people make the initial steps of confusion, but was overcome by asking locals. Armed with the climbers earlier story, we were guided to the post 1, which through several branches. To get to the post 1 we do not have to worry about running out of water, because we passed several streams whose voice will continue to sound until the post 3 at least. Track the beginning has made me breathe hard. Incline is so steep we had to face before reaching the post first. Wherever possible we break for a while, because we do not understand what the next track that will be passed.We arrived at the post one at 8:40. The view from here looks so stunning eyes, the mountains that has a ridge that many times, and some peaks stand one another formidable challenge. We sat for a moment, drinking water, then fill the spirit with the existing landscape. Travel back followed by melipir the edges of the hill with a slope that I think is so extreme, and then continued to climb, the path we passed a narrow majority of the lines attached to the edge of a cliff, if I could just make a regular standing one foot tall. The roots will be required to handle.And on this path even MME had slipped into the abyss, lucky backpack still stuck in a tree branch and can be saved without one any less. After the climb, the path becomes spotty, depending on what the will of the tree is located if there is a tree on the edge of the path we will automatically go through and up the roots that ran down the ravine and then down a bit, and so on until the next post.Postal 2 at 10:15, located just above the rushing stream of water, under a large rock cliff protruding make room below, may be enough for a tent. Here we met the other climbers who want to come down from Palopo. Chatted for a while, recharge water supplies. About 15 minutes we spent some time here. And we started our journey back. Very surprising for the initial line of this post, but the slope is a little wider path that is very unlikely to be standing upright or release the hand from the existing roots. And will continue uphill until the third post later. Because the slope angle close to 80? -90?. And sure enough, during this ramp only meet if we find the post.Pos 3 at 11:37, catching her breath for a moment here. We can not linger longer because of sweat cools the body in addition to temperature as well. In my four trips to the post was able to relax a little bit but still with a hill to climb that hill did not like the post 2 to post 3. The journey continues to climb to make this stomach rebelled and my mind has begun to stress staring path, occasionally stopping to look back line which I passed. Want the heart at the sky blue with clouds, but forest cover is still reluctant to show the sky. My eyes have started to see the roots of the dance. And we finally arrive at 12:51 am post 4, but only sat for a while to sighed, and hurried to the next post and lunch.5 heading towards the jungle Latimojong already crowded with beards of moss around the track. At 14:50 in the post 5, this post has a pretty broad plains, typically the climbers spent the night here, roughly enough to set up more than 3 tents contents of 4 or 3 people. The air here feels chill faster when we just sat down to rest, unpack some cooking appliances. Time for lunch, along with her stomach. Without being too long to cook rice, rice noodles are cooking only and some snacks. At 15:30 the three of us started the journey again this stress after packing our bags each. My journey this time slightly faster than ever before nanjak increasingly weakened, along with stress has terobat terisinya stomach. The sun was directly behind us, not too hot because the dense jungle to the post 6.Heading 6 16:20 am, look around more narrow area of heading 5, the width but slightly skewed. Done sit down and take some photos for a while, we went back Cantigi Some plants begin to dominate the way complete with their beards are green to brown, I got a lesson here by the MME that there are others who are researching moss-like beard- this beard. This moss can be a measure of how many years the plant is alive or located and as inikator change the earth's temperature, the longer the beard moss is the better level of the surrounding air.Latimojong jungle getting ready to present the landscape, the trees have started to open pelukkannya to give us a chance to see blue sky and white clouds, jalurpun have prepared the rock like a red carpet welcome. The source of light began to offer senjanya, right in the open land we saw how beautiful the mountains Latimojong, the hills are lined with each other, with their green-colored blankets the sun, I feel a rare tranquility while the path to the post 7. Irregular breath has started again, looking down occasionally to treat this tired. Finally heading 7 was seen between the thick fog and strong winds.Pos 7 At 18:20, it is not likely set up a tent on the ground post 7 is due to winds coming from several directions, the left post 7 there is a little path down to the spring. We rushed to get there and decided to open a tent right on the edge of a small stream, the wind here is not too feels tight because it lies between the two ridge. End of this creek there is a small waterfall down to the pool nodes, makes me want to do the impossible I do dikeadaan temperatures like this. Already dark, we entered the tent up a few items from the bag. Tonight we cook in the tent at once to be able to keep warm. For the sake of conversation we will track bincangan forget that we passed along. Silence of the night was not so pronounced due to the strains of a small river that keeps flowing lelapnya accompany the three of us slept.Day 5Before sunrise we wake up, to prepare breakfast for strength to get to the top of the Chain Mario. A little light made us curious about the situation outside the tent. Fog and high winds are still playing on top of our tent to make us hesitate to muncak today. From where we were staying did not look like what circumstances this mountaintop. So we decided to postpone the intention to peak this morning until the situation is really bright, at least we are coming all the way from the land of Java can enjoy the blue sky in the Chain of Mario, the highest land in Sulawesi.Soon appeared several climbers from Pare who went with the time of Barraka to Authorship. They want to take water for cooking in the post 7. They camp in the post 5 last night and this morning going to the summit. Maybe we can also with them to the top. Our curiosity will make a state behind this fog did not stay long at home in a tent, we decided to try to top anything that happened later. At 13.15, we got back to the post 7, turned out to climbers of Pare-pare open bivaknya here to have breakfast first. We said goodbye to go first to the summit.Initial path is uphill again, but not long. The wind was still blowing hard from all directions. At the end of the ramp there is a wide plain with branching paths, it appears there was a small lake in the mist, but we do not have time to get there because the wind is still strong, this branching toward the top Nenemori if to the right, and left onto Chain Mario. We continue the journey toward Chain Mario through several small hills, endlessly I thought the end of these hills is the peak but it turns out we have not found a peak with a triangulation. Quicken our step to avoid the wind blowing in open fields, and then hid in thick cantigi sidelines.The fog finally showed Triangulation Chain Mario, at 14:25 we set foot on the summit. Chain Mario, the wind kept getting stronger bring fog to the top, occasional blue sky visible as we menatas above our heads, but only slightly and briefly. We took refuge at the edge of the triangulated to avoid the wind, waiting for the present magnificent blue sky.Pare-pare the climbers started to arrive, they are very happy to have arrived at the Chain of Mario, while we remain seated shelter allows them to take some photos with the flags of their organizations. Regrettably, all of a sudden the rain came down made us begin to shake. We reluctantly left the Chain Mario. And back to our tent that had passed through.Arriving at the tent, the rain was still flushed, but when the weather is very sunny afternoon, this is when we treat disappointment at the Chain Mario last time we went back onto the post 7, to enjoy the sunset, the atmosphere was like at the top Here again, the clouds that feels close , and the land below is covered by white clouds, complete with a magnificent blue sky. No passes to immortalize this moment. The wind speed is still relatively strong despite the sunny weather. Until the sun was gone, we went back down to our camp and spend the night one more day here and go back inside joke ria.Day 6Dawn we rushed to clean up all the stuff back down, fearing to miss a car in Dante Lemo who were heading back to Barraka, long journey back to pass. Extreme pathway is highly unlikely with a brisk walk through the situation especially with the muddy and steep. Slowly by slowly we continue, it may be easier when climbing up rather than down.Long story short, when she reached the second post, we met some people who want to study mice in this mountain, they told us that there is a waterfall nearby. I and MRP looking waterfall while MME was kept waiting at the post two because of fatigue. Gaza is still very visible in the new make, because many plants that still look new slashed. Tracing the river edge, then across the river to the other side. And we found a waterfall, still looks short, but if passed on to the top again, there may be higher. But the income limit for us and returned to the post 2.We continue to journey back through the village of Authorship to say goodbye to the hamlet head, and hurried to Dante Lemo, a step that has been staggering. Arriving at Dante Lemo, the car was already running off. Forced us to wait for another car who want to Barraka, lucky few of us have a phone number the driver, of Pare-pare climbers reach him, and told that the car will come tonight at 8.We took a break at the village chief's house, cooking together and swapped stories with the climbers from Pare-Pare in Sulawesi on the mountain and the mountain in Java. Joke after joke took us to forget the fatigue and time. And the car came, offroad journey began evening, open to the bright stars of our trip due to darkness. The three of us have felt a deep longing in the hospitality market stall owner in Barraka it, with typical cuisine. Not to forget the atmosphere of uproar Barraka market.Rest of the day we spent in Sulawesi Makassar circumference, and our final goal is in Bulukumba, namely Tanjung Bira. A very big thank you to those who have helped us along in Sulawesi. We really appreciate it, sorry if we were all a hassle.
6. Mount Binaya (Maluku)
Mount Binaiya which is the highest peak in the Maluku islands located on the island of Seram, Maluku. This mountain has a height of 3027 m.

Maybe some people who still do not know the condition of contemporary issues of Mount Binaiya be surprised when I heard that in order to climb Mount Binaiya requires no small cost. It becomes a matter that can not be accepted if to climb a mountain have to spend a deep but that's what happened today. Customary rules of society imposed Binaiya the foot of the mountain villagers kanike force for anyone who want to climb the mountain to pay the costs set out in their customary rules. According to recent data received from an organization named Matepala nature lovers who had held activities at the mountain is that the total fees they must pay as much as Rp.1.550.000 with the following details :1. Cost porter Rp.150.000/day
2. Customary cost Rp.100.000
3. Cost of inpatient Rp.250.000
4. Guest Book Rp.250.000
5. Income Binaiya Rp.500.000
Oddly enough explanation as to what reason and purpose of such payments is not clear, the reason only for the construction of the village and even if someone already knows the path up to Mount Binaiya but local law requires you to use the services of a porter to move up the mountain. Not to mention filling the guest book that is required to pay a fee, the cost of hospitalization is also required for camping is prohibited around the village for security reasons and other reasons are less absurd.
At the end of 2010 the rules of tradition comes into force, still less clear what underlies that this rule applies to birth and anyone who wishes to conduct activities in these locations. According to sources from organizations in Ambon nature lovers that the birth is due to customary regulatory coverage of cultural activities carried out by a media in the area. Media activities are indicated as an attempt to introduce money to the community as to streamline their operations, the media are spending a lot of money without being asked to support their activities.
Before the media increased, the climbers who usually perform the activities in this mountain menegeluarkan no charge at all to do the activity, simply by bartering goods we have, we can already use the services of a local person to accompany up to the mountaintop, or want to bring a souvenir in the form of craft hands of local people just simply bartered with goods such as clothing, cigarettes etc. that we have.
7. Cartenzs Pyramid, Mountains Jaya Wijaya (Papua)
Carstensz Pyramid, Puncak Jaya or called with a height of 4884 m. Cartenzs Pyramid is also the highest peak in Indonesia and also entered into one of the Seven Summit in the seven continents of the world. Cartenzs Pyramid is located in West Papua.
For mountain climbers, climbing and mountain ranges Jayawijaya Sudirman (Carstensz Pyramide), Irian Jaya, is a dream. Imagine, on one mountain peak (Sudirman) there is the highest point in Indonesia. Carstensz Pyramide (4884 masl) and save a lot of unique challenges. Not only because of the snow-covered peak in the tropics but including a row of 7 (seven) peak continents.
Do not be surprised if a top climber, climbers world-class racing to climb the highest peak in Australasia this. No less than the climber Heinrich Harrer whose life is played by Brad Pitt in Seven Years In Tibet became the first person to climb the Carstensz Pyramid. Then the climber Reinhold Messner was the first to reach the 14 peaks above 8,000 meters.
Pat Morrow who proclaimed Carstensz Pyramid as one of the seven peaks in seven continents of this earth. Irian was part of the continent of Australasia, he said. This resulted in world-class climbers, hikers flock to follow him among the first women Everest climber Junko Tabei ever touched this peak.
Unfortunately, the procedure permits a must-have made many climbers have to carry out the attack for the expedition. Moreover, the central mountainous region of Irian Jaya, was closed to climbing since Mapenduma kidnapping cases in 1995 to 1996.
Climbing permits are ComplicatedAmong mountain climbers in Indonesia there is satire about climbing mountains in Irian Jaya. "It's harder than taking care of his permission to climb the mountain," they complained. The main mountain-climbing permits to Carstensz Pyramide - in Irian Jaya is complicated and unclear. There is no valid license a piece such as climbing in Nepal where hikers are given a kind of passport complete sheet with photos and captions permission to climb the peak altitude in the area where.
In Nepal as successful and may submit any proof of the Tourism Ministry which handles these permits were issued a certificate of successful climbers. This ambiguity the ordinary happened during the New Order-survive for years with classic reason, security.
Galih Donikara, a senior Wanadri mention to climb this mountain must have a recommendation from Menpora office, Chief of Police, BIA-intelligence Indonesia, Menhutbun / PKA, PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI).If you want to pass Tembagapura plus the Indonesian Rock Climbing Federation (FPTI). It should all be taken care of in Jakarta. Then in Jayapura, the recommendations of Bakorstranasda and police chief must be bagged. In Timika, Freeport permit recommendation for EPO and track facility.
"Finally in Tembagapura, coordination with the Emergency Response Group (ERG) for handling Satgaspam Emergency Procedure and apparatus for track safety problems," explained mountain climber who had joined in the Indonesia-Everest '97 expedition this. Galih reach the summit Carstensz Pyramid with the Chinese team in the early years of this Millennium. Along with several civil and military climbers, they use the route via Tembagapura Timika to reach base camp.
If passed Nabire, a letter from Police Bakorstranasda and Irian Jaya should be reported to the police station and Kodim Paniai Nabire, both of which exist in the city of Nabire. Then last in Ilaga, all letters of recommendation given to the local Tripika (Ilaga), namely police, Koramil and Head.
But wait, the three leaders will decide whether or not to continue the expedition climbers. It all depends on the security situation at that time. If there is no danger that could threaten the safety of climbers such as tribal wars, the climber can begin. Now that's a long list of letters of recommendation to climb the roof of Indonesia. Complicated and troublesome.
Hertadi Mas Bambang, adventurers and seasoned long-distance cyclist, had thought better for the expedition to the top of Carstensz Pyramide, because of the difficulty of taking care of the ascent permit. Paimo, Bambang close calls, preferring to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, on the African continent for the expedition in 1987. "Mending all out (public), yet the cost and the difficult process of licensing is relatively not much different," he commented Paimo time.
Most of the mountain guides, professional climber up to class amateur, had to swallow disappointment. In fact according to them, a lot of foreign tourists who want to reach the white snow in the tropics. Uncertainty of the political problems of the earth of Paradise is also undermining efforts to make the Carstensz Pyramid and Sudirman mountains as a tourist destination could be the mainstay of Papua. For some people, Carstensz is a source of sustenance for itself and have a high selling price.
Scarcity of information about the two mountains that also makes the interest in mountain climbing mainly in Irian Jaya, Carstensz Pyramide-have receded in the middle of the road. Except, for the climbers are sufficient funds and experience. Not many books of "output" their own country that really tell the joy of reaching the roof of Indonesia's adventuring. At most, only some form of writing the results of the expedition to get there. Finally, local climbers, climbers must helter-skelter looking for information to several gatherings leading nature lovers and experienced in this country. But it's probably not how complicated than taking care of permissions. Until when?
