Merapi mountain

Merapai Mountain (2.965 mdpl), everyone is sure to know the mountain, this is the one of the volcano most aktive in the indonesia even in the world. Although  like that, this is one of the favorites spot to climbing.

 For climbing this mountain we can pass New Selo route. New selo route place in Boyolali regency.

located about 2 hours from the town of boyolali.

the ascent begins from base camp to post one,starts walk about 15 passes through the Township. after that we can find the writings of "NEW SELO" like in hollywod.

after that the trip continue pass the forest, the road to post 1 is not difficult, we will pass a pretty shady forest.After nearly an hour of our trip came at the gate "Merapi and Merbabu-National Park", and then continued up the trail past the rimbunya forest in the Middle bottom of the merapi volcano to arrive in the post I (one). In this post there is a monument which is located on a ridge, about 1.5 meters in height. From the post I continued heading Pillar II, with steep and full of large rocks. the journey to this post takes about 1.5-2 hours. In this post, there is a monument, the same as in the previous post. from here we live takes about 1 hour to get to the "PASAR BUBRAH". Still climbing terrain is similar to the previous one. ahead of the market bubrah we will pass some memoriam who are on a plateau into the top of a ridge. from here you can just go down to the market Bubrah (scatter).

 

  

 

Pasar Bubrah is a stretch of rocks that reside in a valley. from here look a peak of 2. on the left is the path to the crater woro. And if a straight line is heading to the fore peak. From the bubrah to the top takes about 1 hour with the field through very steep and Sandy. Climbers usually practice the techniques of scrambling to get to the top, because the terrain facing the Rocky sand indeed easy avalanche.

We'd better be careful because high winds can come any time, as well as the danger of avalanches of rock that may be trampled by climbers above us. The ascent from Basecamp Selo (plalangan) to the top of Mount Merapi takes about 4-6 hours and the descent takes about 3-4 hours per street.
