I hiked in the direction of the summit of this volcano with Camilo in between freshman and sophomore years when preparing to climb a different mountain. it was about to erupt and cause mass evacuations back then, too. i still remember seeing the huge plume of smoke and thinking, "i really just tried to climb that thing?! i'm dumb."

on that note, climbing merbabu with agung in a couple days - a birthday present to myself. trying to reach the summit at sunrise on sunday... hopefully awesome pictures SAFELY taken of merapi to follow.

i'm still dumb.  ¶ 11:59 AM
