Trekking on Mt Rinjani from 25 Nov to 28 Nov 2005 with Tony & Co. and spent 4 day & 3 nights on the mountain. I should say it is quite a good trek excluding the last 200m climb to the top as it is very sandy up there. For every 2 steps up, you will slide 1 step down. I had spent abt 1 hour plus climbing up the last part.
We were very lucky, really lucky. Going trekking during the monsoon could be the worst trekking to everyone. We are blessed with sunshine and light wind while another 2 groups of frens started their treks on 29 Nov - 01 Dec 2005 and they had experinced 4 days of rain. I was at Gills isle suntanning but my heart was with them as I looked at Mt Rinjani from there. The whole mountain was covered with dark cloud.
