Malang - East Java, Indonesia
Ab “Doel” Harris } [] } 6/8/2017
3 June 2107 A time and place to start a journey that has long been untouched. Starting from physical attention, as well as healthy lifestyle, reducing heavy cigarette addiction to mild cigarettes. It still smokes the sickness of the disease, but at least the levels of tar and nicotine content are reduced ... The first thing I do is saving money to complete my adventure equipment ... yes, this is my first adventure after I did not adventure anywhere, the impact of learning theater art for 4 years .. both are combinations of life that I have long chosen. Not only focus on the theater, I am also one of the students majoring in the history of the State University of Malang, certainly not unfamiliar with the adventure in the wild while tracing the cultural heritage of Indonesia. I remember the words of an engineer "a man who successfully supported the wife factor" .. but here I am not married .. hehe .. no problem. Here my partner supports me. One day before the start of the climb I bought a carrier to support the safety of the goods I will bring tomorrow at the time of the climb. Of course all I need is the best quality carrier.
Not a cost issue of course, but the ultimate comfort and safety. I bought a carrier that I think is very concerned about the comfort and safety of climbing, and this is a local production. May be familiar to climbers with this product, yes EIGER Adventure ... is a product of domestic or local with international quality, this product has been wrestling in the field of adventurers began in 1989, as a form of pride to have my adventure equipment made by hand Indigenous motherland Indonesia.
On June 1, 2017, I have to train my physical, I start running and also push up to train physical endurance while traveling in the wild. Maybe it is trivial but very useful for the adventurer before doing the adventure.
Malang - East Java, Indonesia
Finally on 3 June 2017 at 1:45 pm, I will have started my adventure. Before me and my four friends register at the Panderman-Buthak mountain counter. With laughter while praying we started to foot. Yes I have been in the meeting two people who often make the climb on my appeals that almost four years never climb again. The two friends were named Rizal and Ganang. One of them is a friend of my friend named Mirza (Mento), then Reza who is the youngest classmate .. never mind .. I miss the natural cold air from nature that it always pierced into my bones.
First, it is very hard for my feet to step on a hill that is often called a heated heated climbing .. finally after we pass the heating trough about an hour and a half, we reached the flat ground there is a water source, Once the source of the spring, so do not need to bring drinks from the bottom, just prepare empty bottles and then can be filled along the journey .. after the feeling enough rest we continue the journey to a second hill which is usually called the "Jancik". Heheh
After about half an hour of traveling on a flat road, finally came to a second hill .. here is the beginning of the process of the mind and physics in the test .. previous honestly I ever set down my foot in the highest peak Java (Mount Semeru) and also the highest peak in The Lombok island (Mount Rinjani), the problem is the two mountains I passed about four years ago ... Yes I have to pass it. This slope has a slope of about +/- 45 degrees with a length of +/- 500 meters with a steep road and many trees that fell in the middle of our journey ... it is so heavy when the eyes see this hill ..
patiently and the focus of my feet continued Stepping slowly (this might be a process like life). Here the process I am experiencing is a study of life, life is choice, the choice to move forward with an increase from the previous day with good arrangement, or an option that makes us fall back and forth in vain without benefit to those around us. ,, just as I am experiencing at the moment, I choose to look with these eyes, not to conquer them, but to approach, embrace, fix, and preserve
After that, at around 06:00 pm we arrived at a flat land where it is an intersection with the path that the direction of the village Dau in Malang regency. There we certainly rest longer .. my friend named Ganang injury in the knee. He had to drag his feet because he could not bend his knees. Finally the carrier that brought in Ganang brought by Mento then I bring my own carrier that I exchange with Mento at the time in the middle of the first incline uphill.
Night is getting dark and night air above 2000 msal height feels much cooler .. yes indeed when the dry season comes almost all the weather on the mountain Indonesia is more extreme temperature.
Then we continue our journey to Savana where the place is where the climbers stay the night before the next day to the top of Mount Buthak. But before reaching Savana, we still have to go through the last climb, although this incline does not seem steep, this incline I think further from the second hill .. this last hill like a road that has no end, maybe because it's night with Physical start that began to decline with the cold air, I felt long past this hill. In the middle of our journey, we rest again to collect the rest of our energy.
There is an interesting story on this trip, Rizal offers to us while we take turns drinking water, which he offers is a snack in the form of a packet of Dates fruit... yes Dates fruit? People say it's the favorite food of Messenger of Allah.. but for me personally, I do not like this food, let alone eat it, smell it I just do not like it ... this really happened. At that moment I did not think long, I immediately took dates fruit, whatever is inside me, I feel there is something strange after I eat it. Whatever ... after that, I drink more water to relieve thirst after eating the fruit. "Is it possible that the Messenger of Allah could pass the desert stretch by eating only the date palm?" Waw that's always on my mind at that moment ..Not just at that point, I kept wanting to eat the dates fruit. In the middle of the journey almost to the end of the final climb, I and my friend named Mento was behind the line, to my three friends already in front of about 30 meters .. at that time, my feet started to feel hot, so did my friend's legs.
Mento and I almost gave up at that point .. physical resistance began to weaken with the night air getting colder. But at that very moment our friend named Ghanang, he keeps running the word wise of a mountaineer (yes the wise words of the mountaineer call) "till shortly, after it to the right then to the left" .. may not be foreign to all mountaineers in Indonesia, the word is released to encourage other mountaineers or even their own group mates .. - said the word is always said by Ganang ..
“In my personal mind, I could not conquer it, I have to get closer to nature and chatting with nature, really ,, I just as a person who enjoy nature, not love nature, because for me that I plant it in the heart was enjoy the nature of Indonesia, Does not mean enjoy not love. Favors grow from caring for something, I love the art which is shown by nature as the values and norms that exist in nature, I think it’s an art and culture. If only the egoist to conquer our nature is proud of by us??? and we spend without knowing the values and norms there, just like living in our own environment, my values and norms are very important for social beings.”
At 09:00 PM, finally heard the sound of water gurgling ... Ganang said "we've got this" .... in my heart "really? No way, this word of wisdom again ".... The vast expanse of Savana with the hello circle from the moon adds to my belief in Ganang words if we arrive at the Savana Mount Buthak ...
Thanks the universe and God ..
