3-days trek to Mount Rinjani

Dato:
16.07.2013
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
28:43t
Distanse:
37,3km

Gunung Rinjani (3726m) is the tallest mountain in Lombok and the second highest volcano in Indonesia. It takes 3 long days to do the full traverse of Rinjani including the crater lake, and we enjoyed every moment of this wonderful trek and the spectacular scenery.

Gunung Agung true summit !

Dato:
13.07.2013
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
6:44t
Distanse:
12,6km

I've actually been to Bali and Gunung Agung before, sometime back in 2001. But then I only reached the false summit on the wrong side of the crater rim. 12 years later I came back to finnish the business.

Pico do Ramelau

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:13t
Distanse:
14,1km

Mount Ramelau (2986m), sometimes referred to as Foho Tatamailau, is the highest peak in the new sovereign state of East Timor (Timor Leste) as well as Timor Island. The hike itself is very straightforward. The biggest challenge is to get to the foot of this mountain.

Bukit Pagon - an exclusive jungle peak

Dato:
21.02.2013

Guided tour package, costing 450 Brunei dollar per person (minimum of 3-4 clients). Long 4WD drive (4 hours each way) to basecamp. The day hike was fairly long too, almost 10 hours (incl return) in moderate pace with lots of up and downs, accumulating to more than 1800m gain of elevation ( click to see my GPS track ). Much of the hike was along an abandoned logging road, then a steep ridge with a surprisingly straightforward trail, which had fixed rope in the steepest sections. According to the guide (Haddy), only 50 people or so have been to this summit. I also returned fairly bloody, because of 3 leeches that had been eating on my two legs for a long time. Almost impossible to stop the bleeding, without a medical kit. Instead they put tobacco into my bites, and that was quite useful. I need help to find the prominence, >>>

Maculot - summit bagged but traverse failed

Dato:
07.02.2013

We climbed without a local guide. The trail to the Rockies was easy to find and follow. So was the trail to the highest point of Maculot, even though it was somewhat overgrown and had plenty of thorns that ripped up our clothes and skin. While 95% climb the lower Rockies, only 5% continue to the true summit of Maculot. The reason for this is that while the Rockies has very nice views, the true summit has no views at all (dense forest). So most people (except peakbaggers of course) do not see any purpose of climbing 200+ meter higher. From the summit of Mt Maculot, we then continued the traverse to the other side of the mountain, but the overgrown trail turned out to be a dead-end (tall cliff). We realised our mistake when we climbed back to the summit of Maculot and could see a third trail descending >>>
