15.45-19.00: reached Kalimati and took a rest. We could see mount semeru alrdy coz from the camp till near kalimati, we couldnt see semeru..what made me shock was i thought that the sandy part is maybe only near the peak..like only a forth from the peak but wat the hell it's from the downhill..soo...here the hard part began..

Sindoro 24-26 September
Hmm...this journey..worst hiking..but it became lessons for us..ther participants were me, chei, nadia, uma, jihad, kak meta, ghea, dimas, satria, alvin, maul, bang coco, bang david, bang ponco, mbak sumi, bang hafiz, bang lelet, bang hasby..the track was ascent from the beginning..we camp almost near the peak..maybe only 10 minutes from the peak..the wind up there is very...wowww!! maybe i could fly becoz of the wind,,the kak metha's condition was not really well...in the morning, we went to summit attack but we woke up late, then we took lots of pictures...me and ghea got lost in the peak becoz it's really wide...ahaha..for an hour..ckckcc...then we went down, but kak metha's feet was sprain, so we should camp again a nite but there was only 1 and a half bottle left..but thanks to bang cacing, he was like the host there, so he went up and brought some logistics for us..tehre was a scary moment..something followed bang cacing and when i changed seat with bang cacing means i sat beside that something...wew..thanks god nothing happen..on the next day we went down although it took long time becoz kak metha walked hardly. this climbing taught us lots of lessons, we should had a good management, enough logistics, should take care of our friends and don't always depend with others..=)
