We arrive at the basecamp, and start to hike

We start to hike, and go to the 1st stop. This is the trail, if you never jogging / hiking, then you have to climb slowly, don't too rush.

There's 2 rest post in here. Use it well, but I thought that you can't stop too long, or your muscle will stiff.

After the 2nd post, the path is started to more extreme.

But we can start to see the beautiful scenery.

And it started to feel hot because of the sun.

If you see this mountain, then you will arrive at the peak soon.

Finally, after about 45 minutes, we arrive at the peak.

This is the Devil's Bridge / you can see it as the back of a cow.

Becarefull while crossing the bridge, because the width is only about 30cm.

Both side is cliff, don't see the downside too often, or you will be dizzy.

Finally, I'm on the other side of the peak. It's beautiful. We can see almost 7 mountain in here. We take picture so many.

Telomoyo Mountain

Merapi and Merbabu Mountain

Then we go back down. It's more steep when we go down, so you have to be more careful.
