20/05/2024 - PUNCAK BENDERA

After pushing off at 3am in the morning from camp 7, we arrived at Puncak Bendera 4 hours later. It was a steep climb to get to camp 8 and 9. Pacak wei! capek bangat! The video zoomed in to our end point, Puncak Sejati. At this point, air liuh pun tak boleh telan dah... pffft

1 - we have to pass thru this ridge. When I first saw it, I was telling myself we can’t be going through that pfft

Morning pictures from Bromo…when things were calm, sane and zen… the sulphur was irritating though and that sound it generates really scary when it’s dark.
