Mountain Climbing as a Healthy Hobby [a sketch inspired from Gunung Tebu expedition] (by Saharudin)

Mountain climbing may not be a hobby of choice for most people, because it is a hobby that requires a strong manifestation of the physical and mental endurance. But for us it's not the excuse. Maybe we see things differently.


For us it is a challenge that must be resolved until the end. Facing the challenges, preparations should be made earlier. Physical strength needed to be built with intensive training for several weeks or months before the date of the climb came. Mental strength is tested by simulation climbing over nearby mountains on daytrip basis. It all require discipline.


We are not scientists or researchers who have studied the flora and fauna, which records all available scientific studies and journals specific findings to be presented to the public. Indeed, we appreciate the noble works, but we do not have to be like them in advance to gain the experience to enjoy the lush green natural beauty created by God the Almighty.


I also have heard, that we may not fully understand the word ‘hobby’, because it has been rewarding in different ways depending on the type of activity. The only thing anyone can do is to appreciate. Appreciate one’s hobby. It is one from the many declaration of pleasures in life. As long as it does not deviate from the definition of intoxicating joy that is self destroy, undermine the family institution that reflects the community in the country.


Not that we are uninterested in the business of politics, economy of our beloved country. We are indeed some part of them. However, in my apolitical opinion, it is easier for the leaders and people to unite due to the law together. However, it is made complicated by some leaders and people who may not be as mentally healthy I think. Some are seen as greedy and ungrateful for what they have acquired in life. Let it be, but do not let it become too excessive though.

Enough if I say that mountaineering is an outdoor activity that nourishes the body, strengthen the mind, binds greater understanding among others, gives utmost satisfaction over sharing the great photos and accumulates a thousand memories of a lifetime.
