Key To The Success Adalah Kunci Menuju Kesuksesan

The mountain is part of the earth's surface that is higher than the surrounding area. The mountain can be a place of recreation or a tourist attraction by nature lovers who love challenges with various activities such as camping, mountain climbing, and rock climbing. mountains that I will discuss that is Mount Salak. Mount Salak is a volcano that is administratively located in Sukabumi District. This mountain has several peaks among them is the peak Salak I with a height of 2211 m above sea level and Salak II peak with a height of 2180 m above sea level. The name of Salak comes from the Sansekerta language "Salaka" which means silver. Climbing Mount Salak can go through several climbing routes. The peak that is often climbed is peak I. Climbing this mountain can be done with three alternative climbing routes, there is:

The first through the path Cidahu, Sukabumi. One of the paths often used by mountaineers is from Wana Wisata Cangkuang, Cidahu Subdistrict, Sukabumi district, from this place there are two climbing routes, namely the old path to the top of I and the new path leading to Kawah Ratu. Wana Wisata Cangkuang is often used to be a campsite with beautiful waterfall scenery and often used climbers to the crater of the Queen. From this path also climbers can go to Top Salak 1.

At the entrance of Wana Wisata there is a comfortable place for camping, there are also many food stalls. From this path can go to Kawah Ratu, the time required is about 3-5 hours drive. While to get to the top of Mount Salak I required about 8 hours drive. From camp to shelter 3 has a steep start line, then moist and wet. In this shelter there is a clear river and there is a place large enough to set up a tent with a view of dense tropical forest. Towards shelter 4, the path is getting steeper. This path is red soil.

Shelter 4 is a crossroads. To go to Kawah Ratu take the road to the left, while to get to the top of Mount Salak take the path to the right. In this shelter has a large area to build a tent.

The second through the Kutajaya or Cimelati Line This path is the shortest and fastest climbing route to Mount Salak, but along the climber path it will be difficult to find water sources, so that clean water must be prepared from the bottom.

The journey begins from the village of Kutajaya through the fields and farms of the population, because the number of branching then the trip should be done during the day, try to always follow the ridge.

If a few difficult to find the path can follow the direction to the waterfall. There are clear markings on every post, but the signposts to the summit are very rare. Along this path there is not enough space to open the tent. In some posts there is enough space to set up 1-2 small tents. This path is rarely passed by climbers so that sometimes covered with grass and leaves.

Next will be found the junction of Kutajaya, waterfall and towards the summit. Walking towards the summit about a few hundred meters will be found Pos 3. This line continues to climb through forests are quite dense. In Pos 4 climbers will find branching again. Here there is a plumbing, do not follow the plumbing, either up (left) or down (right).

After passing Post 4 lane looks quite clear and not many branches anymore. By walking about 1 hour will arrive at Post 5. To get to Pos 6 takes about 1 hour drive. In Pos 6 there is enough flat land to erect a tent. Still needed more time about 1 hour drive to summit Mount Salak 1. The journey pass this path will until right beside grave of Mbah Gunung Salak or peak of Mount Salak 1 with height 2,211 MASL.

The thrid Giri Jaya Strips are found at Wana Wisata Curug Pilung, Giri Jaya Village, Cidahu Subdistrict, Sukabumi Regency. To the summit of Mount Salak from this path can be traversed with travel time 5 - 8 hours journey.

From the entrance of Wana Wisata Curug Pilung by walking a few meters will be seen gate entrance Pasarean Eyang Santri. From there climbers can walk through people's homes, then going to the gardens of people's homes. After walking 15 minutes climbers will arrive at a hermitage Eyang Santri, surrounding there is a clean toilet in it. Climbers have to take clean water from here because through this path to reach the peak there are no springs.

Under the hermitage of Eyang Santri there is a beautiful waterfall, named is Curug Pilung. This area can also be used for camping. From the hermitage location Eyang Santri climbers will pass a somewhat sloping path, past the tree of resin trees. When the good weather from here can be seen Mount Gede and Mount Pangrango very clearly. The slopes are overgrown with large trees and dense. Within an hour's journey the path is still a bit sloping and through a narrow and slippery road.

About 3-4 hours climbers will arrive at a tomb of Eyang Santri. Around the tomb there is a mosque and a cottage. From this tomb the path is getting steeper, goes through the roots and the ground. From this place still takes 2 hours drive to the top.

In some places have to climb a slippery rock that is around the rim is a ravine. Further climbers will arrive at the meeting point coming from Cangkuang, precisely in shelter 7. From Shelter 7 the lane has started to gently slop past the tree roots. About 10 minutes later we will reach the top of Mount Salak I.

So there are three routes to the top of Salak 1, the route cidahu, route kutajaya / cimelati, route girijaya. It is recommended if you want to climb the mountain of bark 1, use one of these three lines, because this is the official route to the top of Salak 1.
