My first climb was telomoyo mount about 1900 mdpl. It was pretty small, wasnt it? That was the main reason, why taufiq was assured we could pass this. The team was taufiq, hanif, usnong, uma, lolita, tiara, and me. 4/7 were the newbie. 

When the idea came up, i had no reason to object it. So my plan was bringing up my parents' permit as the issue. But unfortunately, they came into line, since they thought it would be better for me to have an outdoor activity on my holidays (CRY CRY CRY HAHAHAHAHAHA). I guess the universe conspired helping me to move my body and not get rotten at home. 

Shortly, d-day came. My first hindrance was i got period. First day of periods, in the middle of re packing activity. My courage wavered, then. Luckily i had my best team who always be in my ups and downs (LKS, LDK, one year struggle), literally. They convinced me that wont be an issue. So, lets get started!!!

I'm pretty sure that Repacking your backpack is the most important thing to do when we hike with team. to make sure that every person have brought either their personal needs and team needs. 

Shortly, we went to Salatiga by motorcycle when the second hindrance showed up. Heavy rain screwed up the trip, fortunately taufiq already told us to use giant plastic bag inside our carrier to keep our things save and dry (although our carrier is already water resistant). 

Shortly, we arrived at the first entrance. But dont expect we will see 'that-common-public-place-entrance' like we used to see, because Telomoyo track just opened 3 months before we did this climbing, so the entrance look more like indigenous inhabitants houses than an public place entrance. why i could call it as an entrance, its because we paid the retribution and we parked our motorcycle there. It was just 7000rp if i am not mistaken.

We started to climb at 6 pm so they could prayed before starting to climb. So my first experience was climbing the mountain at night. It was common because people tend to catch sunrise moment. I dont really remember how long it took to get to the camping site, maybe around 4-5 hours. We directly built the tent so we could take a rest as soon as possible. As newbie, i always referred my climbing experience to what were there in 5 cm movie. So, what i expect about camping site was a spacious area with many natural resources (like water or trees) surround it. And that was wrong :" i was not assured if that was the real camping site or there is no certain place we could named as a camping site (since its just opened).

Some mountain have remarkable sunrise scenery, and the rest are not (we wont ever get typical sunrise picture since the mountain face to the opposite site where the sun rises). This mount is the second type. So we decided to get to the summit after we had our breakfast.

THIS PART WAS THE BEST!!!!

I was being skeptical :) I never imagined that reaching the summit will be this hard, i thought '5cm' was exaggerating. Maybe i didnt find any rocky mountain like what i saw in '5 cm', but precipitous mountain was real.LOL. trek yang cuma muat satu langkah doang 

Mu summit experience is not really like what i had expected. But i guess the best thing is not the result, isnt it?

One of the most remarkable things was having fun at the tent. We could cook and have a lil chit chat since  it was our first moment to catch up after months. Climbing is really a thing!! I am sure i have to do it many more times.
