Pendakian Gn. Sindoro (3153 mdpl) part I

Liburan sekarang gak kerasa sebagai liburan kenaikan kelas, gue malah gak ngerasa kalo gue itu sedang liburan haha. Well, untuk sedikit ngebuang bosan, I want to post a little bit story when I was climbing mountain (dan yang sekarang lagi gue harapkan banget = naik Sumbing) :)))

Gue dan teman-teman mendaki Sindoro untuk mengisi libur UN kemaren (19 - 24 Maret 2010). Sebenarnya pemilihan waktu pendakiannya kurang tepat karena "maksa" harus naik waktu libur UN itu. Masih musim hujan, hampir selalu dirundung kabut dan awan, akibatnya gak dapet pemandangan cerah dan bagus selama pendakian (Sumbing aja ketutup terus -__-). Waktu summit attack hujan-hujanan dan ngepur turun puncak jam 4 sore sampai basecamp jam 3 pagi (lelet ya -__-). But we had a great time, there! Pertama kalinya naik gunung sendiri, independent (halah), bukan dari sekolah kayak Pengembaraan.


Ohya sebelumnya gue cuma mau  bilang kalo cerita yang mau gue tulis di sini bukan rincian perjalanan yaa :)

Tim dari sekolah ada 5 orang. Gue, Qori, Djody, Rafly, sama Mukep. Kita janjian ngumpul jam 2 siang di sekolah dan jam 5 berangkat ke Stasiun Senen. Masih di Tangerang udah ada problem, Mukep masih harus ngurusin "bisnis"nya dulu dan gak balik-balik ke sekolah sampe lewat dari jam 5. Kita jadi agak panik takut ketinggalan kereta karena well, uhm, kita belum ada yang tahu pasti transport ke Senen (lol). Akhirnya, Mukep sampe JAM 6 sore dan dia udah punya rencana ternyata : manggil taksi, naik taksi ke terminal Lebak Bulus, naik Busway sampe depan atrium Senen dan jalan kaki ke stasiunnya. Gw gak ngerti apa-apa soal jalur dan jalan kayak gini, jadi ya ngikut aja :P Alhamdulillah kita sampe stasiun Senen jam setengah 9 malem dan gue langsung buru-buru cari mushalla buat solat Isya. Disana udah ada saudara sama neneknya Djody yang ngebeliin kita tiket. Dan jam 9 lewat dikit, keretanya tiba.

Di kereta, uasli sumpeknya! Gue sama Qori duduk hadapan sama dua mbak2 baik dan sama-sama susah tidur. Sementara anak-anak cowoknya duduk bertiga di seberang dan semakin pagi si Mukep semakin berkicau marah-marah sama tukang jualan yang teriak-teriak seenaknya di telinga orang yang lagi mau tidur haha. That's economy class's train in Indonesia :)

Jam 5 pagi kita sampe di Stasiun Purwoketo, FYI, keretanya lelet banget jalannya! Dari situ kita nyarter angkot ke Terminal Purwokerto dan naik bis jurusan Wonosobo. Ada kejadian aneh lagi, pas mau nyartet angkot, tiba-tiba ada mas-mas gitu (anak SMA juga) yang cerita kalo dia kepisah sama rombongan temennya pas keluar kereta tadi. Dia kebetulan juga mau naik Sumbing dan minta bareng sama kita sampe nemuin temennya itu. Well, kita agak curiga juga sih, karena pas sampe di Terminal Purwokerto, si mas-mas itu (gue lupa namanya!) tiba-tiba aja ngesot ilang dan biaya carter angkotnya udah dibayar semua sama dia! Aneh kan. Tapi akhirnya kita ngeliat sosok mas-mas itu kuralang-kuriling di depan bis dan kita samperin buat balikin uang dia dan bilang makasih. Dan akhirnya kita sebis lagi sama dia ke Wonosobo.

Dan kita sampe juga ke Wonosobo jam setengah 10 pagi setelah perjalanan kuranglebih 4 jam naik bis :D (kita berlima bener-bener belum ada yang pernah kesini sama sekali dan berhenti di gang masuk basecampnya dibantu ibu-ibu yang duduk di sebelah Qori). Dan kita pisah sama mas-mas yang tadi. Kita langsung masuk ke Desa Kledung dan dia ke Garung (basecampnya Sumbing). Kita istirahat dulu di Mesjid sambil nunggu Sasi sama Babab (tim dari Jogja!) sampe.

Mukep, Sasi, Djody, Me!, Qori, Rafly, Babab (Tim MPL Sindoro Maret 2010)


Sekitar 1 jam kita berjalan di ladang perkebunan yang luasnya asoy, kita memutuskan untuk istirahat dulu di batas antara ladang dan area yang sudah memasuki kawasan hutan. Gak lama kemudian kita sampai di tempat dengan gubuk kecil (yang kita gak yakin ini pos 1 apa bukan haha).

Sampai di gubuk kecil.

Babab. Endut tapi kuat :D


Trek awal disini masih mudah. Belum terjal, tanah, dan masih ada yang landai. Ada jalur yang kerasa lucu buat gue, jalannya memutar turun landai, muter, naik lagi, muter dan sampai ke tempat terbuka kecil sebelum akhirnya makin naik lagi. Jam 4 sore kita mutusin buat buka tenda. Kita sendiri gak yakin waktu itu posisi kita dimana, apa udah di pos 3 apa belum (emang bener2 new ke Sindoro semua haha). Dan masak buat makan malam!

Ada koki kita BABAB jadi kita makan enak di gunung :) Tapi setelah dipikir-pikir Babab masaknya lama banget deh ya, sampe hari mulai gelap dan hujan turun belum selesai juga ckck. Jam 8 malam kita semua udah siap tidur. Semakin malam, ada lumayan banyak tuh pendaki yang lewat, mereka nyapa tenda kita dan bilang "Ayo ayo ikut aja ke pos 3, tanggung dikit lagi." Wuanjir, ternyata kita belum di pos 3 hahaha, tapi karena udah pada enak dan di luar gerimis jadi kita bilang aja "Iya mas, besok pagi nyusul." :)

2010 World Cup Player Profile : Philipp Lahm, Germany's New Captain

Full-back Bayern Muenchen Philipp Lahm ditunjuk sebagai kapten utama Timnas Jerman untuk Piala Dunia, Jumat 28/05/2010. Dengan demikian Lahm akan menjadi kapten termuda dalam sejarah negara yang sudah mengoleksi tiga titel Piala Dunia tersebut.


                                                                                                            Go 16!


Ini artikel yang di copas dari SBNation.com by Richard Farley


Why You'll Like Him

He’s not Michael Ballack (if you’re not a Germany fan).

Why You'll Hate Him

He’s not Michael Ballack (if you’re a Germany fan).
When Kevin-Prince Boateng slammed into Michael Ballack during the FA Cup Final between Portsmouth and Chelsea, an entire nation held their breath as they waited for the results of Ballack’s ankle scan. After 24 hours, most of the German supporters had passed out due to lack of oxygen, which at least spared them the pain of hearing that their captain wouldn’t be going to the World Cup. Yet while the German fanbase plotted revenge against Ghana, one man stepped quietly forward to accept the captain’s armband: Philipp Lahm.
Lahm has been a quietly fantastic presence for Germany since his under-19 debut, and has 64 appearances with die Mannschaft (The Team) on his resume. But pass him on the street and you will likely not realize that he’s now burdened with the hopes of a nation. At 5’7", with spiky blonde hair and wide-set eyes, he looks like one of my teenage band idols, not like a man hoping to lift a World Cup trophy.
Or, at least, hoping to reach the semi-finals, as he said to the press earlier this week. The pragmatic Lahm realizes that his squad have lost five men (in addition to Ballack, the casualty list reads Heiko Westermann, Rene Adler, Simon Rolfes and Christian Trasch) and find themselves in a tough Group D. While Philipp may be modest about his team’s chances, he shouldn’t be humble about his contribution to the squad. His "Magic Dwarf" nickname may not be politically correct, but his style of play sometimes borders on the supernatural.
Appearing slight and inoffensive, the defender is often overlooked as a threat in Germany’s attacking force—yet with his impressive speed and skillful shooting abilities, he often makes his presence known, usually to the detriment of the other team. But unlike many defenders prone to assuming an attacking role, Lahm can track back quickly enough to make sure that no holes are left in the back line.

Fact Sheet

Age: 26
Position: Full back (He can play on either the left or the right)
Club Teams: VfB Stuttgart (loan, 2003-2005), Bayern Munich (2005-present)
National Team Debut: February 18, 2004 against Croatia
Caps: 64
World Cup(s): 2006

Club World

Philipp is a picture-perfect portrait of club loyalty…except when he’s giving interviews criticizing the policies of said club and its coach. Lahm started his professional career at age 11, with the Bayern Munich Junior Team, and save for a brief loan period with VfB Stuttgart, has stayed with Bayern. While he may speak candidly about the club, he has made it clear that he is committed to the team responsible for his development.
Although Lahm originally played at right-back and even in midfield, with Stuttgart he developed his abilities at left-back. Left-back remains his default position, although he has stated that he prefers the right, and is still able to be used on the other side of the field.
With Lahm at the back, Bayern Munich have won the Bundesliga four times, the German DFB Cup four times, and the German League Cup once. In addition, Philipp helped steer his squad to the Champions League final this year, although they weren’t able to overcome Inter Milan to win the treble.

National Team

In 2006, Philipp Lahm scored the opening goal of the World Cup, which is all the more impressive when you remember that he’s a defender. Germany were the hosts last time around and the squad finished in third place with a win over Portugal. Lahm’s performances resulted in his nomination for 2006 FIFA World Player of the Year.
In Euro 2008 Germany came even closer to the trophy. Lahm played every game in the tournament and even exhibited his fluency between positions, beginning as a right back and then moving to left back. He also reminded the world of his attacking abilities when he scored the winning goal against Turkey in the 90th minute of the semi-final. Alas, in the final against Spain, Lahm allowed Fernando Torres past him, where Torres found a Xavi pass to knock to the far post. With this standing as the only goal, giving Spain the championship, Lahm likely has this moment burned in his brain and will not let the same circumstance occur should Spain and Germany meet in South Africa.
In this year’s qualification play, Lahm was the only player to feature in all 90 minutes in all ten matches for Germany. die Mannschaft emerged from qualifying with eight wins and two draws—both to Finland, who won’t be at the World Cup this year. The defensive masters allowed only five goals in all ten games.

What to Look For

Intelligent play and a fast pace. Lahm absolutely shatters the stereotypes that defenders are meant to be large and physically intimidating, but he’s still able to demonstrate strength one-on-one and win possession of the ball.
You’ll see him zipping up and down the field, often cutting in from the left to slice a ball through the center. You might also keep an eye out for Lahm in midfield. With the Germans losing their players left and right, Joachim Löw has very few options available on his bench. With his versatility, Lahm just might find himself filling a midfield role.


Opening World Cup 2010 tanggal 11 Juni besok. Can't wait,lol.
