| Mt. Arjuno & Mt. Welirang |
With height 3.339 meters this mount arjuno has many
histories. Including the kingdom of majapahit which is this mount was become
place for veneration. The ancients site and historic scattered around this
mount.
There are four routes that can able to summit this mount
arjuno and the strips are Lawang, Tretes, Purwosari and Batu.
And I tried to summit attack by pass tretes strip. That time
about 08:00 PM in the dark road and only little of flashlight I was walking to
pos 1 with a few my friends and the name of pos 1st is kopkopan. And to arrive
in kokopan need about 2 hours by walking but not like what I did yesterday I
got more than two hours because I’m still new be probably and I need to learn more.
I drunk and took a rest for a while then continue the journey to next pos of
summit attack. And second pos is Pondokan standard time of walking only two
hours but I’m not, I more than 2 hours.

| Walking to Pondokan |
Tired, weight stuff, lack of experience and limited of water
maybe they are reasons why I walked slowly than another but they are not
reasons to give up and stop in middle way despite I fell asleep on road and
woke up when the sun was rising at 05:45 AM probably. That’s not the way to
stop me to keep walking until reach to top of mt.arjuno.
Then four hours later I arrive in second pos pondokan about
at 07:00 AM. I could breakfast there and fixed my body to summit attack I spent
more than 3 hours then go on summit.
Less than 30 minutes I arrived in lembah kijang. I didn’t
see any antelope but mysterious birds over there because of heavy foggy
probably.

| Lembah Kijang |
In lembah kijang you could find water for supplying of your
next walking and can you see? I still need long trip to summit attack and
frankly I was so tired but my spirit covered that.
 |
| Looking for the correct road |
Surely after 1 night of my journey I was still in the middle
of mount arjuno and still far away. I didn’t think I can reach the top shortly
but I believe I can do it even with pleasure.
 |
| Near at Pasar dieng |
The way near at Pasar dieng I found the mysterious plants
and trees around that I couldn’t see it in public place. Despite they didn’t
speak but I could feel them and I felt that they were seeing me. Their life,
plants and animals over there were inspired me and though me about life. They
are really worth for me.
 |
| Working Hard and Keep Spirit |
After a few hours I got tracking road, it means I closed the
top of my summit attack. I realized it’s just necessary to work hard, what I
learned to get the top. And sometimes need to break and see something.
 |
| Sit down and enjoy it |
About a few hundred meters near the top I felt rather
satisfied over there and I could enjoy some scenery but some voice whispered
inside that it was not the end. I meant I still have to walk. And after a few
hours of my journey I could almost see the top but that day was going to dark
so the sunset that I would to enjoy in the top of arjuno was failed. But never
mind I could still enjoy it despite almost the top.
With temperature about 5-10 degree celcius almost the top I
had night over there and prepared for tomorrow to see the sunrise from top of
arjuno. The things that I will never forget In the middle night I saw the
sparkling stars from mount arjuno.
The dawn has come and I started to go on summit attack and
finally I could enjoy thing that I never felt before and that’s sunrise from
top of mt.arjuno.
