Men can cry. I blocked my face not that cos the sun was in my eye. Just that it was such an emotional journey for me. The #roadtorinjani started almost as soon as #conqueringsoutheastasia was done. I knew I had to train extra hard for this due to my medical condition and boy it paid off.
Furthermore, for a first timer, to complete it in just under 4 hrs from the base camp is a real achievement. This experience was surreal. The #roadtorinjani was tough. The road to the summit is extremely arduous. Many times I fell. Many times I felt like giving up. Getting up to the summit is the goal, the dream.
All in all, the lesson learnt from Rinjani: not for the faint hearted, only the strong willed. Adios, Mt Rinjani. You taught me that there if this is hell on earth, I'm scared of hell in akhirat.
I will do a write-up on my blog about my experience to the summit when I return.
So what's next for me? I'll be scaling Mt Batur aka Mt adik-adik aka Mt Peanuts in 2 days time. Pray for Alfiyan
