Climbing mountain

(M. Rizki Anugerah R)

3 years ago, I’m just a student in MAN 2 Medan, that’s where my adventure
began. This adventure is my first experience climbing mountains with my best
friends. Actually that was just nonsense, but it was really happening. During the day,
we gathered in the mousque. We agreed to climb the Sibuatan mountain. Previously, I
didn’t know where and how the mountain that we would climb. After I searched from
the internet, I really didn’t think that the mountain was the highest mountain in north
Sumatra with height of 2457 (mdpl). I doubt whether I could conquer this mountain,
because my body is small. There were many important things that I couldn’t forget.
The day when we started our adventure arrived, many things that we have
prepared such as logistics, materials, strength and stamina. We set out at the noon.
We arrived in around the mountain at the night due to the night are not possible to
climb, we decided to climb tomorrow. In the morning, we used to immediately
register. The registration cost of 10 thousand. The most important that we must bring
that is water, because on the mountain wouldn’t be found water, this climbing consist
of 5 shelters that approximately it takes 8-9 hours to get the top of the mountain.
This journey was really challenging for me, the field is only filled with the
rise and the sludge. I was so afraid, but the spirit of my my friends could make me
excited and I was not afraid anymore. The top of the mountain was still far away
while we have cimbed for 5 hours, the cold even more bespread us, but our spirit still
feels hot in our soul due to it was impossible to return. The only enthusiasm that
increasingly burns our souls. For the sake of being able to see the beauty of this
nature from the top of the Sibuatan mountain. We saw many people that were also
climbing. We were joining with them that comes from one of the university in north
Sumatra. We have a lot of rest to keep our stamina, we almost arrived arrived at
shelter 5, here was the hardest obstacle due to there were so many rise that we have to
face.We hold each others hands tightly to through it. My keg feels no longer able, but
our ascent cannot stop.
 Finally, we arrived at the last shelter on the top of sibuatan mountain. My
tiredness paid off with the beauty of nature from the top of Sibuatan mountain. I
didn’t think that I was now on the cloud, previously, I just saw it from below, now I
can see the cloud under me.
I will never forget this experience in my life, even though I think I will never
come here again, because it’s very tired. But in the end paid off with the natural
beauty that was served.
