Struggle to the top of the mountain slamet
For those of you who like nature and especially like to climb a mountain, surely you have struggled to conquer the top of the mountain you are climbing. In conquering the top of a mountain, we are not just fighting physically, we also need cooperation with our friends when climbing.
Starting from mental preparation, logistics, and important tools for climbing, we must also prepare so that in climbing the mountain we will be more awake.
I myself used to climb Mount Slamet, this mountain is located in 5 districts, namely in Brebes Regency, Banyumas Regency, Puralingga Regency, Tegal Regency and Pemalang Regency in Central Java Province, Indonesia.
Mount Slamet is also one of the second highest mountains on the island of Java after Mount Semeru, Mount Slamet has a height of 3432 meters above sea level. With a height of more than 3000 meters of course it is not an easy thing for climbers to conquer the peak.
Therefore this mountain is very popular for someone who likes to climb, in addition to its fantastic height, this mountain also has quite a challenging climbing terrain.
If you want to get to the top quickly, you can pass the Bambangan basecamp which is located in Puralingga Regency, if we start climbing from Bambangan Basecamp we will pass 9 posts on Mount Slamet, some posts there we can stop by as a place to rest and maybe eat some food first. gather our strength.
Some of the names of posts and heights on Mount Slamet.
First we start from Bambangan basecamp
then we will pass the viewing post
Post 1 Pondok Gemirung (1937 masl)
Pos 2 walang lodge (2256 masl)
Post 3 fir cottage (2510 masl)
Pos 4 samaranthu (2688 masl)
Pos 5 Samyang Rangah (2795 masl)
Pos 6 samyang ketebonan (2909 masl)
Pos 7 samyang kendit (3040 masl)
Pos 8 Samyang Jampang (3092 masl)
Pos 9 Plawangan (3172 masl)
and the peak of Mount Slamet (3428 masl)
And after we fought hard with our friends, we finally arrived at the top of Mount Slamet, we could see the crater of Mount Slamet which is still active. Although this volcano is classified as an active volcano, this mountain has never erupted at all, it's just that it has experienced a small eruption and even then it didn't last long.
And it is said that from the story circulating in the community, because this mountain has never erupted, the myth says that once this mountain erupts it can split the island of Java into 2 and that is really very scary.
That's the struggle when climbing a mountain, maybe it will be very tiring and many people also give up in the middle of their journey because they are tired or maybe sick in the middle of the trip.
Therefore, if we can conquer the peak, it is a pride for ourselves, and don't forget when at the peak capture your moment by taking photos with your friends and enjoy the beautiful view from the top of Mount Slamet.
