Climb to the summit of Mountain Top is not easy. In addition to rugged terrain, the highest point on the island of Java, it got very cold temperatures. But that does not mean the cold air can not be resisted. Here it is 6 ways to fight the cold while climbing to the summit of Mount:

1. Bring warm clothes

The first, of course bring warm clothes. But, not just warm, bring extra warm clothes. Especially if you are planning to hike in the dry season. At that time, the air temperature is cooler than the peaks of the rainy season.

The most important is the jacket, gloves, and socks. Keep in mind, do not use denim pants, because it will be very heavy. Use cloth trousers are quite thick, like cargo pants. Surely it would be better if you use a thick flannel shirt. All equipment can help you to sleep comfortably at night.

2. Bring sleeping bag

Sleeping bag is one mandatory thing that you should take time to climb Mountain Top. If possible, bring the thickest. It's okay to be a little heavy luggage, as long as your body can warm to the rest later.

There are various types of sleeping bag with a cold resistance is different. Learning from my experience at that time carrying a sleeping bag with a low resistance cold, cold eventually became friends at night. Air above freezing, even leaves just covered ice in the morning.

3. Bring slayer

Hardtop or berpenggerak 4 wheel cars used to get to Ranu Pane climbers usually roofless. At that time, dust will interfere with breathing and vision to see the sights. So, do not forget to bring a slayer or a cloth to cover your nose.

In addition, the fabric can also be used to cover the neck as the cold at the top later. If not closed, super cold air can make our noses blackened know.

4. Set up a tent in the area that fit

Reflecting on my trip, you should set up a tent in the minimal wind. My mistake, tents were set up in a very open. There were no objects or plants that can protect our tent from the wind chill. So when setting up camp, find a lot of sturdy trees, bushes, or behind a large rock. This will reduce the cold temperatures at night.

5. Bring oxygen tube

In addition to drugs, small oxygen cylinders you must also take. This is very important, because the height difference causes oxygen levels less. Especially for those who suffer from asthma or other respiratory diseases. Especially in the mountain are actively poisonous gas produced at the summit of Mount. Simply take a small oxygen tank, flexible, and lightweight carry everywhere.

6. Health certificate

Keep in mind, to be able to climb the mountain, climbers are required to attach a health certificate from the health agency. Let me not to bother, first check your health at the health center near the house before leaving. Attach a letter in the post licensing Ranu Pane. We could take care of you climb Mount without permission letter. But if it is missing, the rescue team is not responsible for finding you.
