Mt. LAWU
Friday 16th of August 2013, a day I never forget. The journey that brought me admiration with the fear.
My journey first to the summit of Mount Lawu, which is in Tawangmangu, Central Java. With the ascent of the route in the mail Cemoro Kandang. At that time the five of us, preparing to check luggage, after that we pray for salvation to God.
it was night, it's time to travel step by step to get to the summit we want. At 19:00 we travel from post 1 to post 2, trip strenuous enough, the cold continued to attack us but we stick together to achieve our desires. Up to 2 in the post we rested for a moment to unwind. Distance between post 1 to post 2 long enough, the roads were very slippery. After 20 rushing ment we continue the journey. Said people who had been climbing on the mountain Lawu, distance to post 2 post 3 is the most difficult terrain, with a hollow road, slippery and ravines around. That's what makes us mentally to be down. But we still continue the journey with a sense of fear, angit taut with mist contains our limited visibility, 2 hours we have yet to find a post step 3, in front of our eyes see a small house there is a person who is making a campfire.Inwardly have great pleasure to post 3, after we asked to the person who made a bonfire "excuse me, if we had to post 3?", The man replied "not yet, this new shadow postal, postal 3 is still about 45 minutes away" . Disappointed with the circumstances we still want to continue the journey. 1:20 o'clock, feeling sleepy want to stop haunting us continue the journey. We briefly recharge, as well as the mind stay focused. Not aware that our right is a cliff, supposedly said many climbers who fell in ravine because the focus is not on the way.
The clock struck 2:30, we finally arrived at the post 3. Lot of climbers who set up a tent there due to fatigue after passing the post 2 to post 3. Moment we rest, set up a tent to take off sleepiness. Most of our team cooked noodles to eat. After the meal we slept for a while, because at 04.00 the journey will continue.
04.00 I was awoken my friend, to continue the journey. He said 3 to the top of the post about 2 hours away. The spirit appeared again to get to the top of the mountain Lawu. Pos 4 telh we passed, the clock is showing at 5:10, the sun rises soon.
And finally arrived at Hargodumilah. Hargodumilah is Lawu mountaintop. 5:45 o'clock, a sun appeared in the east. The last thing we ever forget accompanied August 17. That date is independence day Indonesia. How meaningless a journey, step by step. And we remain grateful, Indonesia has very beautiful scenery. That is our way to the summit of Mount Lawu, how meaningless the meaning of journey.
