At camp 7 we can enjoy the view of the land above the clouds, where in front of there are the mountaintop Wates, the left and right we can see the lining the ridge and Valley, the mountain range sextillion Hyang looks and pncak Sumeru, in sunny conditions and night views star – star, distributed in the sky that emit light and sparkling lights – lights in an urban-looking from a distance would be a landscape that we can enjoy in the evening.

Camp 8 – Camp9Pos 4 (heading Bagong) (8 ° 08 ' 00 '' S and 114 ° 02 ' 33 '' E)

The path is getting steep, still very lush vegetation turns more rare and old trees that characterize a typical before the Summit.

Camp 9 – the peak Peak Kalibaru Flag (8 ° 7 ' 56 '' LS and 114 ° 02 ' 55 '' E)

Cross the line of vegetation 10 minutes and will arrive at the height of the flag, often Mdpl 3154 this peak is also named the peak climbing path as Kalibaru.

Here begin kegarangan true peaks plastered roared. The lines are very adrenaline with a bandaged right-left a gaping chasm. In the distance also seems the peak of pyramid-shaped, 17th Summit of Toothpicks that consists of a composition of rocks that taper and Triangulation of true Peak Raung. From here the path of true kepuncak just looks vague.

The Challenge Of The True Summit Of Gunung Raung
Indeed the true Puncak Sejati Raung there are a few things to note, among other things:

1. Preparation tools:  Rope 30 m Kern, Carrabiner, Webbing, Harnezt, Ascender, helmet, Jumar, rope prusik. All should be in good shape. 
2. Technical skill: Anchoring, Ascending, are Belaying, Rappeling descending, Moving together. At least in the team there must be controlled so that it could be the leader made his friends. 
3. Motivation Team: prayer, safety is a major, mutually support and complement each other. 
4. The Logistics Team: food, drinking water, additional tools: camera, GPS.

If all the uda was taken and prepared, we will meulai using equipment that's right at the top of the flag. Considering some of the point-prone that we have to go through. If all the equipment already worn by each Member of the team and then a true adventure to the top we can go on.

We know that this line is the line most prone and suspenseful, a little will be compromised, thus alertness, concentration and focus as well as safety becomes the price of death can not be bargained again.

Peak Flag – Puncak17

The journey started down from the top of the flag melipir igir-igir ravine running individual commandments themselves and turn into an absolute choice. Then it got to the point of prone 1. At this point we should rock cliffs which melipir on the right was the abyss as deep as 50 meters, we put up the climbing routes about 5 metres, on line has installed 1 hanger, 1 bolt and anchor point on the top of it there is an iron peg was embedded, can be used as main anchor.

Leader do artificial climbing while installing the climbing routes. Can use a rope or webbing stretched out enough kern. Every climber mandatory pair carabinernya if past this point and must turn.

After passing the point us towards the Summit 1-prone 17 pyramid, to the point the 2nd IE prone under the peak of 17. Here we again have to make the climbing routes, where leader do artificial climb selajutnya upon arrival at the Summit of 17 install the fix rope to pass the next person with engineering jumaring. Or another option is we don't kepuncak melipir 17 but passing next to the Summit. Here could use moving together so each Member of the team putting up carabinernya at kern that unfolds between members of most front and rear. At this point there is also some anchor plant that we can use. Extra focus and concentration is needed because of an easy field loss.

Puncak  17 – The Peak Of Toothpicks

They came to us at the point where the last ke3 prone we are to install a line to down the cliff at least 20 meters. For it using the technique to achieve a rappelling down. This emphasis also there have been several iron anchor plant from which we can use. The line we stay here and Kern we will use again later.

Under continued with a somewhat declining path down until it meets the line pungungan to the top of the toothpick (remotely resembling a toothpick). From there we will be treated to a smorgasbord of rocks is so large that we have to climb
From this resting place way back uphill to the level of the slope the more upright. Beware also loose-leaf rock avalanche from above does not harm the climbers below. This rocks line will end up at the top of the toothpick with a rock as big as a House that is composed of looming.

Puncak Sejati Raung (8°07’32’’ LS dan 114°02’48 BT)

From the top of the toothpick is oriented to the right we melipir back and then walked uphill about 100 meters came to us in what became the ultimate goal of our expedition PUNCAK SEJATI GUNUNG RAUNG 3344 MDPL, marked by a triangulation and views of a large crater that is still active at any time pull out the smoke. From the bottom of the crater is often the sound with the roar thundered. If you get to the Puncak Sejati, this voice will be louder again, thrilling guts and very scary.
