Independence Day at Mount Sibayak

In August of 2018 I traveled with fellow organizations together for a go-out, Karo County, Northern Sumatra Province to climb mount sibayak to commemorate Indonesia's Independence day.

On this happy occasion, many of the new things we get when we climb and more for myself, this climbing is a thing a very challenging passion for my person, I have never personally climbed a mountain and given my supposed heavy weight, I was a little hesitant about getting to the top.

The new thing what i got was the first that just before climbing we should need to give a little movement to the feet so that the legs don't cramp and not be surprised. that at that moment we were side by side and felt firsthand the natural atmosphere that was truly natural not only in the pictures. and we are not allowed to say dirty words or sentences on the way.

Some colleagues say that there is a myth, when climbing is not allowed to speak dirty because someday something will happen that is not desired for someone. And I personally think, it's natural that we are reminded not to speak and act badly there, becuase we need to enjoy and praise the beauty of nature that we don't need to share with our words and actions.

Until the peak of the mountain was late at night and we immediately set up tents and chose to take there respective activities. there are those who shoose to sleep due to cold and fatigue, and those who sing outside the tent. The temperature at night was really cold and the wind entered until it touched my bones. I really feel very cold temperatures but i still enjoy what happened at that time, I let everything flow. I know this will happen.

The next morning we held a ceremony to pay homeage to the red and white flag as a reminder of the struggle of the countrys's heroes who had previously fought for Indonesian independence to find their independence. We feel grateful to be able to celebrate the red and white flag on the mountain because it is not done by many people.

being at the top of a mountain is an extraordinary gift and a proud opportunity too, we are truly able too see our full nature, we truly blend with nature and can feel. it is truly a wonderful masterpiece.

This is one place and moment that I like the most. I feel happy to be able to conquer one mountain to climb along with friends. Thank you for the time.
