In January 2022, i have experience climb my first mountain I was invited by my brother to climb the cleft mountain. Before climbing I was told to prepare physically in advance, such as running, push ups, and others.
The day to climb arrived. I and my climbing group arrived at the Sumbing Mountain basecamp at noon. We immediately registered and checked our luggage. Our hike starts at 4pm. After about 10 hours of walking we arrived at the camp area. We set up tents, cooked food, and rested to prepare ourselves for the summit to the top. At 4 in the morning we were ready to continue our journey to the top. When on the way the sun began to show itself, we stopped for a moment to enjoy the atmosphere, very happy feeling to be here. When we arrived at the savanna it turned out that the weather was not supportive, there was a storm which prevented us from continuing our journey. We went down feeling happy and disappointed because we had not been able to reach the top.
We went down to the camp site and got ready to return to basecamp. Very memorable experience and I promise I will return to the cleft mountain to reach the peak.
