Over the course of 3 days we trekked up #mountrinjani in #lombokisland. It was a difficult 3 days for a few different reason. 1) The trail to the summit was very steep and we were walking up lava rocks and fine sand. It felt like two steps up and one back the entire way to the top, this was all in the pre dawn darkness so you could only see as far as your headlamp allowed. 2) It was raining like crazy each afternoon so we were drenched to the bone with no real way to dry out gear. 3) we had a member in our group who was struggling with altitude sickness, food poisoning, a bloody nose, and the soles of both their hiking boots fell off (come prepared when you do these treks!). Over all this was such an amazing trek with beautiful views (when the sky opened up), and even though it was definitely type 2 fun most days I would 100% do this trip again and if you like a great challenge then this is up your alley! Just plan accordingly and hope the weather works in your favor. The season start...
