Cliff climbing activities Siung begins with departure from GEGAMA Secretariat on December 13, 2008 at 15:00. But, because of the obstacles in the form of additional uncertainty about the person who followed the events, so we could leave at 17:50 with the number of persons 7 persons. Before departure, performed the ceremony in front of where we GEGAMA Secretariat and other GEGAMA members stand in a circle around the flag of our greatness. Siung way to the Beach in Gunung Kidul Regency done using motorized vehicles. That night the weather was very sunny so remove the fear about the condition of the cliff which will be slippery when wet rain. Travel approximately 1 hour 5 minutes stopped for a rest and dinner at the home of one participant who happens to live in the City Wonosari. The journey then continued after the break for 1 hour. Wonosari journey from the City continues to Siung through the village of Beach Karangrejek, and the Village Mulo asphalt road has been good. The more southerly is further away from the City Wonosari, the quiet pavement, fewer street lights, especially when it has reached a fork Mulo to the left, it was just dark and motorcycle headlights for left-right path is the teak forests far from settlements. For about 1 hour drive the team through the streets without light which only aided by light motorcycles. Road conditions which are alternative path to Siung been paved smooth, but need to watch out for flights, derivatives, and the extreme corner especially when travel is at night. At about 21:16 we arrived at the scene, so it can be concluded that the city of Yogyakarta approximately takes about 2 hours and 10 minutes on a motorbike in the evening conditions to get to a location in District Siung Cliff Tepus, Gunung Kidul Regency. Two things beneficial to us that night was a free dinner at one of our members who is the host and when entered into the coastal attractions, we are not being charged fees because we passed the checkpoint at night so as not guarded by officers.
Once on shore, we were greeted by waves Siung Beach where sea water conditions when it was high tide. Location cliffs which we will climb in the vicinity of Beach Siung and face to face with the Indian Ocean, so it can be said of rock climbing in this Siung Beach get a free bonus in the form of beach recreation. Because we will stay, then our bikes in daycare Leave a motorcycle. Night Siung crowded beach visit for the night was Saturday night, so many young bands who do camping on the beach. We decided to set up camp about 10 yards from the shoreline below the row of hibiscus trees as a protection in case of rain will occur. Because the night grew darker, as soon as we build dome numbered 2, a large dome to sleep and a small dome to put the tools. After a short break, we immediately went to the dome to conduct briefings for the next day's activities. This briefing includes reading the scenario for the next day's activities are tailored to target the desired activity. The goal is clear, so that the climbing activities can be more focused in the context of fulfilling the target of refreshing activities and deepening of the basic material materials include rock climbing and cleaning leadering line. After the briefing finished at around 22:30 the next scenario is a break. However, because in front of our eyes teradapat beach scene with the pounding of water that is very tempting, so we decided to briefly walk on the beach. There was no light at all only a few flickering lights of fishermen who were fishing so mambuat night was quiet but brings its own peace. Some of our members have tried to put fishing on the beach hoping for a fish that interested, but because of factors keamatiran course none available prey. And finally at 12 the night we get a rest because we realize the core activities is still waiting on the next day so we have to really save energy.
Of the existing scenario, we have to get up at 05.00 and 05.00 just one member had been built. The sky was still quite dark and other sights seen in front of the eyes, the sea water had receded to a few hundred feet so it looks a long way from where we set up camp. Soon several other members began to wake up and immediately the three of us to prepare food to be cooked. Because we intend to cook yourself, then the vegetables and spices have been prepared. That morning we cooked a vegetable stir-fry carrots and tempeh dishes accompanied by relatives of salt. The other members began to get up and walk to the beach to breathe the air a little beach. Around six-thirty, 2 of our members decided to leave prior to the climbing location in order to "booking" the cliff and the path will be used as a climbing area. The aim is clear that not preceded by other climbers to take the desired location. Because of this climbing area there is no such licenses to use any bank or line. So climbers can choose which areas will be used to retain berkegiatan with penjat ethical cliff. In this highly recommended to make "booking" the first bank to conduct activities in this Siung Cliff preliminaries avoid other climbers Siung especially when Cliff was visited by many climbers busy considering the popularity of the area in the arena Siung Cliff rock climbing gym.
At 07.00 the food was ready so we are still in the camp immediately put our camp for climbing to the area. Need to walk about 200 meters down the beach to get to the rock climbing area to the west from where our camp. This climb in the area looks huge walls of rocky carbonate where many such holes results karstifikasi process is ideally used as climbing aids. Rock climbing in the area, we met with other climbers who had started activities in the surrounding cliffs block D. We headed toward the cliff located directly adjacent to the sea, our friends there had been preparing the necessary equipment for climbing. Kami sarapan terlebih dahulu untuk mengisi energi untuk memanjat dinding-dinding raksasa nan kokoh yang menanti untuk segera dipanjat.
After breakfast, according to the scenario that the climbing is done by climbing the 2 systems and artificial climbing sport climbing, so the team is divided into two time later after the lunch break, both teams take turns in rolling to make the climbing system. 08.00-09.00 o'clock we were doing a refresh leadering material on techniques such as climbing techniques and how to include the installation Carabiner runners linked to the rope which had to adjust to the direction of movement / direction of line used. Do not forget before we divided into teams, we are stretching the hand and leg muscles so that later the body was not sore after climbing because the muscles are not stiff anymore. We also do bouldering before climbing as a preparation / training that is not rigid bodies so as not to interfere in the climbing techniques.
Appropriate at 09.00 we went into their respective teams. For the sports teams that use their own security is the security of permanent fixed anchors that have been installed on a cliff hanger which will have to install a safety / runner. For sport climbing activities, the path used is the sea horse track. Sea Horses line called because the top of the line have eroded stone shaped waves and sea horses. Cliff on this block has a section which overhangs into the classification where the cliffs slope angle approximately 80 °. There hanger 9 installed on this Sea Horse lines. At the bottom there is a large rock as high as 1.5 meters which can be used as a basis for the start. Based on observation, to this point to areas less extensive belayer and Barada in the high places where there are no feet to the rear there is a lower section and a bit steep, so need to be careful when belaying. For the first climb, runners can be installed only 3 pieces, the walls around the runner into this 3-bit precision is required in climbing techniques because although there are many defects of rock, but if the position of the feet and hands of the less precise will be slightly delayed in this area . Finally, further personnel who continue climbing. In this second session climbers, runners can be installed as many as 3 pieces, in which two mounted on the hanger 3 and 4 are next to be assisted by making security transparent using existing holes on the hanger 4. Members then made the climb to the-three and can put 1 piece of another runner and when he would put the next runner, found that over the hangers rusted bolts so that it is risky when you want to install a safety on the respective hanger so that our members meemutuskan to fall. It was minus one of the cliffs in the area near the coast are experiencing corrosion hanger vulnerability exposed by sea water wave activity. Finally, the third climber scaling down and the two got back to check and if possible will be installed next runner. But failed to climbers as well as the 4 who did not successfully added safety. In the midst of climbing the rain did not wanted to have a compromise. However, because the cliff has a slightly hung configuration, then the path to sport climbing is not exposed to rain so we were not bothered slippery cliff despite the rain.
On the other hand artificial team to block D, there again we refresh the artificial climbing system here is more emphasis on the climbing lane making techniques by making their own safety. Refresh finished materials, conducted field orientation cliff first. This field orientation serves to set the cliff sections which will go through and estimate how much the security that might be installed. We brought security here is different from the safety systems that sport only put runners, here we make himself as bringing security hex, stopper, python, Frend, sky hooks, slings, Prusik, and some carabinner. In this artificial climbing, when the climber's position has so far height the climber, climbers began to look for places or holes that can be fitted with safety. On this cliff a bit difficult to get a hole or defect cliff right / appropriate for safety that have been taken. Most security is installed using a Prusik sling and use a hole through the belt. After you install the security, climbers usually ensure safety prior to the stamping / shake from side to side top and bottom with a strong and ensure that safety is safe when burdened. At the end of the first climb was only succeed with the security terpasangnya 4, actually going in pairs to safety, but because 5 has been used all carabinner so climbers decided to stop at the first roof. Furthermore, security is installed pembersihkan using claimdown techniques, safety is cleared from the cliff one by one. After completion of the first, then followed by other members, but suddenly a fairly heavy rain did not want to compromise and finally we decided to stop climbing for a while while waiting for the rain subsided for a configuration that allows the cliff soaking rain that used to rock climb. Seelah rain stopped, we went back but because of artificial climbing wall used tekena wet rain so we moved the original use Disconnect line and then use the Line of Love Take Easy. On this cliff is installed four security using python 2, 1 and 1 Prusik sling. Security at this cliff is not directly in the wash with claimdown but by other members in use for climbing such as sport.
Since the day late in the afternoon, we immediately cleaning path because we have to go back to Yogyakarta. For the sports channels was decided to use the technique in claim down the track cleaning system. Cleaning Claimdown is a technique in which maximize the use of feet as the "eyes" to get down the cliff. In using the technique down to claim a good coordination between the climber to belayer for just a little miss communication can be fatal. Because if the safety position with the other one was too far adrift, so when a security is released, the climber should fall without a safety to safety below. Belayer must continue to pay attention when a climber scaling a security release and falls without a safety for when the security has been released, and the climber can slammed against the wall when the belayer is less eager to consider the signal from the climber. Cleaning Exercise continued on the path of the artificial line Disconnect Love track where the technique used is Rigging techniques. In contrast to techniques that do not require Claimdown aid in line clearance, Rigging techniques require equipment such as a Prusik, slings, ropes transport, figure of eight, as well as free kernmantel. In this technique after arriving at the top, climbers have to find a hole through to put this Prusik Prusik which will be used as a mooring for the rapelling down the rope using a figure of eight which uses techniques like belaying techniques, but here climber to belay himself . Prusik placed neatly in the hole through which the rope may be included in the Prusik kernmantel this, and the rope is predicated on the transport near Prusik rope. Removal of the security burden to Rigging is done after a major security release, as well as additional security such as skyhook. Next climber falls with rapelling techniques while removing one by one security in the cliffs. Reached the bottom rope kernmantel slowly withdrawn and then pulled the rope to remove transport Prusik installed in the hole through.
The afternoon of the day at around 17:30 we get the equipment to prepare memberesi back to Yogya. Have not seen the red dusk, the plan we wanted to take pictures facing the sunset silhouette, but we realized that the beach is facing the south so the sunset is not so visible. At around 18:00 all the equipment has been transported in the bag. We took a picture-picture while facing the beach to capture a moment in Cliff Siung. Afternoon fatigue erased when he saw the evening seemed to be far above the sea. We immediately headed to daycare immediately move the motor home. The journey continues into the host's house for a short break and to evaluate activities that day. About 1 hour we talked about things that have been obtained on that day and the obstacles encountered that can later be used as learning materials further activities. After the evaluation is complete we immediately pack up and move on to the city of Yogyakarta. That night the sky was overcast but of exhaustion because there is little lost in some sort of shadow hearts to return to Cliff Siung again
