Trip to Mount Salak

Mount Salak located in the border of Sukabumi and Bogor, West Java. It consists of six peaks, but people only hike to peak 1 and 2. The other peaks are too difficult to climb. And peak 2, climbed via Curug Nangka, also now has been closed because of poor and dangerous trail condition. I have been to peak 1 using Cidahu trail and Cimelati trail. And on 22-23 September 2012, i am back using Cimelati trail. On Friday night we started hiking and made camp at Pipa Bocor. Saturday morning, five of us continued walking uphill without much break. Around 11.20 AM we reached peak 1. After lunch we tried to hike to peak 2 but the old route was washed by landslide. So we had to try new route using the evacuation route of Sukhoi crash victims. The trail was steep and I was feeling very tired. Around 3 PM, as it was colder and began to cloudy and ready to rain, we decided to stop and back to the camp in peak 1. I had decided not to join if my friends wanted to go back to peak 2 in the following morning. That night we rest and ate. Sunday morning my friends back to try to peak 2. Fortunately one of them also decided not hiking and instead waiting with me at the camp. My friends back from peak 2 around 1130 AM and we broke camp. Lunch then we hiked back to Cimelati.
