5 Climber Top Dunia

2011-08-21T20:04:00.000-07:00

5 Climber Top Dunia. Panjat tebing (rock climbing) adalah olahraga yang sangat beragam dan menantang. Banyak media memberitakan climber top di dunia dengan penilaian tertentu. Tapi menurutku lima diantara climber top dunia adalah seperti berikut ini:

Chris Sharma. Orang mengenal Sharma adalah sebagai climber terbaik di Amerika Serikat. Kerena dia benar-benar hidup di bawah batu. Dia tidak memiliki rumah, Hidupnya hanya berkeliling dunia untuk mencari tempat-tempat terbaik untuk mendaki. Sharma telah melakukan pemanjatan terbaik di gunung dengan teknis paling sulit dan berbahaya di dunia. Sharma menganggap mendaki adalah seperti sebuah tarian. Dalam film "King Lines" dia tidak takut jatuh saat dia mencoba gila-gilaan memanjat tebing yang sulit di Perancis.

Dean Potter. Potter adalah seorang free climbing. Dia telah melakukan pendakian sukses ke Patagonia dan Yosemite. Potter terkenal karena dia berani memanjat Arches Delicate di Utah dengan tanpa alat pengaman. Bahkan, alasan mengapa Taman Nasional Arches memberlakukan peraturan baru yang ketat melarang climbing di Arches juga karena Dean Potter.

Russell Brice. Brice adalah CEO “Himalayan Experience”, sebuah perusahaan panduan mendaki gunung (mountaineering). Brice adalah salah satu pendaki terbaik dan pendaki gunung di dunia dan ia telah mencapai puncak Mt. Everest dua kali. Dia juga telah mencapai puncak Cho Oyo dan Himal Chuli.

Josune Bereziartu. Bereziartu mulai mendaki ketika ia berusia 17 tahun. Pendaki wanita ini berasal dari Basque, Spanyol. Saya suka dengan salah satu pendaki cewek ini karena Bereziartu secara konsisten membuka batas-batas apa yang telah dicapai wanita dalam olahraga memanjat.

Tommy Caldwell. Caldwell lahir pada tahun 1978. Dia sangat terampil dalam memanjat, disiplin. Pada bulan Mei, tahun 2004 ia menyelesaikan free climbing pertama Wall Dihedral. Dia juga pernah melakukan Free Climbing di Nose of El Capitan. Ia terkenal karena telah merintis beberapa rute yang paling sulit, seperti Barat Buttress, yang terletak di Yosemite Valley. Tommy Caldwell, Beth Rodden, dan sesama pendaki John Dickey dan Jason Smith pernah disandera oleh pemberontak di Kirgistan pada tahun 2000.

Climbing Tools: The Prussik Knot. This is a must know knot for any climber. Used for everything from self belay to crevasse rescue. Try this hitch out. It is real easy but believe me you can be really hooped if you don't know it. On the other hand this will get you out of a bind when nothing else will. Common knot for mountaineers who travel light in the big hills. Used to ascend a rope or self rescue out of a crevasse.

Teknik Mendayung

2011-01-13T23:05:00.000-08:00

Teknik Mendayung. Pada postingan saya kali ini saya sedikit ingin membahas bagaimana cara medayung, terutama untuk kamu-kamu yang pengin tahu gimana sih teknik mendayung dengan benar. Teknik mendayung pada umumnya dilakukan sama untuk setiap perahu. Mendayung dilakukan dengan tujuan menggerakkan perahu untuk berpindah dari satu posisi ke posisi lain. Tetapi pada kenyataannya, mendayung adalah menggerakkan sekelompok air dan memindahkannya dari satu posisi ke posisi lainnya. Dengan posisi rafter di atas perahu dan perahu berada di atas air, maka mendayung seolah-olah menggerakkan perahu.

Beberapa teknik mendayung yang harus dikuasai oleh rafter pemula, diantaranya adalah:

Dayung maju (forward paddle/forward stroke) adalah gerakan mengayuhkan dayung dari depan ditarik hingga ke belakang, dengan alur dayungan lurus di pinggir lambung perahu. Gerakan ini berdasarkan komando, dengan tujuan supaya perahu melaju ke arah depan.
Dayung mundur (back paddle/back stroke) adalah gerakan mengayuhkan dayung dari belakang di tarik hingga ke depan, dengan alur dayungan lurus di pinggir lambung perahu. Gerakan ini berdasarkan komando, dengan tujuan supaya perahu melaju ke arah belakang.
Dayung kiri mundur (left back paddle/left back stroke) adalah gerakan mengayuhkan dayung yang terbagi ke dalam dua kelompok : kelompok pertama yang duduk di sebelah kiri, melakukan kayuhan dayung mundur, sedangkan kelompok kedua yang duduk di sebelah kanan, melakukan kayuhan dayung maju. Gerakan ini dimaksudkan agar perahu berbelok ke kiri.
Dayung kanan mundur (right back paddle/right back stroke) adalah gerakan mengayuhkan dayung yang terbagi ke dalam dua kelompok : kelompok pertama yang duduk di sebelah kanan, melakukan kayuhan dayung mundur, sedangkan kelompok kedua yang duduk di sebelah kiri, melakukan kayuhan dayung maju. Gerakan ini dimaksudkan agar perahu berbelok ke kanan.
Dayung geser kiri (left draw) adalah gerakan mengayuhkan dayung yang terbagi ke dalam dua kelompok : kelompok pertama yang duduk di sebelah kiri, melakukan kayuhan dayung dari arah luar ke arah dalam pinggir lambung perahu 90 derajat, sedangkan kelompok kedua yang duduk di sebelah kanan, melakukan kayuhan dayung mencungkil dari pinggir lambung, ke luar menjauh dari lambung arah 90 derajat dari lambung. Gerakan ini dimaksudkan agar perahu bergeser ke kiri.
Dayung geser kanan (right draw) adalah gerakan mengayuhkan dayung yang terbagi ke dalam dua kelompok : Kelompok pertama yang duduk di sebelah kiri, melakukan kayuhan dayung dari arah luar ke arah dalam pinggir lambung perahu searah 90 derajat, sedangkan kelompok kedua yang duduk di sebelah kanan, melakukan kayuhan dayung mencungkil dari pinggir dalam lambung, ke luar menjauh dari lambung arah 90 derajat. Gerakan ini dimaksudkan agar perahu berbelok ke kanan.
Berhenti (stop), maksudnya adalah tidak ada gerakan. Hal ini penting diperhatikan karena tidak selamanya crew harus mendayung. Ketika dirasakan laju perahu terlalu cepat, maka hal ini harus dilakukan melalui keomando stop dan berhenti. Pada saat ada hal penting lain yang juga harus diperhatikan, yaitu ketika crew memegang dayung posisi stop, dayung dipegang dan diletakkan di atas paha, menyerong ke belakang membentuk arah 45 derajat. Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk menghidari kecelakaan di atas perahu, yaitu jika sirip dayung yang berada diluar menabrak batu atau benda keras lainnya, maka pegangan yang berada di bagian dalam perahu, tidak akan mengenai crew yag lainnnya yang berada di sebelah si pemegang dayung.

Semoga sedikit paparan tentang teknik mendayung ini bermanfaat untuk para sobat petualang yang pengin belajar atau sekedar mengetahui teknik mendayung dengan benar.

Bouldering Techniques

2011-01-10T06:15:00.001-08:00

Bouldering Techniques. So you are planning upon practicing bouldering - a good choice! But there is a ton of ground work that has to be done as bouldering is not just about climbing and descending, it is a much more complicated part of rock climbing. The first part of the ground work is toning your your body and muscles. Chief requirements of bouldering are a toned body, flexibility, great muscle power, light weight and a good respiration. All these factors contribute to effective and safe climbing. In order to achieve such a level of physical fitness, you will need to do lots of exercise, such as frequent swimming, running, swift walking and push us and pull ups. In addition, gym work outs and Yoga will add to the benefit, as they will enhance respiration, flexibility and muscle toning. Once you have completed this ground work, to your satisfaction you may proceed to the actual climbing. Read on extreme sports

Bouldering Techniques 1: Warm Up and Get Ready
The first step before you undertake any bouldering activity is to warm up your body and have an equipment check. Warming up your body and working up a mild sweat is absolutely essential due to the fact that a warmed up body has a better response and reflex, not to mention a greater ability to exert power and strength. It would also prevent your muscles from cramping up and in addition to that oxygen and blood will reach to every possible corner of your body. Once you are done proceed to the rock face and make some basic holds, with both your hands and feet. Once you feel that you are ready, have a look at the rope, waist harness, carabiner and descender. Now you are ready to surmount the rock.

Bouldering Techniques 2: Read the Route and Feel the Rock
The next important technique is to read the route or rather plan the route on the rock face that you wish to take. You will need to visualize and analyze the route that you want to take up. Hence, just plan out your foot holds and hand holds, if possible along fissure or cracks in the rock face. It is also advisable to visualize each hold and the route. It must be taken into consideration that you might need to alter the plan, during the actual climb. Hence, it is wise to spot and memorize alternative holds. A common mistake that many people make is to ignore the descend. It is also important that you visualize the descend, since not all ascend holds can be used for a safe descend.

Bouldering Techniques 3: Holds and Grip
Many of us enthusiastically take a tight grip over the hold that we have found. However, it is better to have a relaxed and firm grip. A relaxed and firm grip is especially essential for foot holds. You may achieve such a grip by equally distributing your weigh and leaning towards the rock face but resist the urge of hugging it. Many amateurs often wonder that how can this possibly be advantageous. Well, when you lean in towards the rock, the action of gravity that acts on your body, decreases and believe it or not, it decreases our weight and enhances your balance. Another tip that is often offered, is that leaning too much is not very healthy but leaning in a parallel manner, further betters the balance. Thus, making a relaxed and firm grip is better than making a tight grip.

Bouldering Techniques 4: Static Climbing
Among the many bouldering tips the one that is very much ignored is static climbing. It basically means that bouldering is a method of climbing where shifting of weight eventually and evenly is necessary. Practically speaking, all you need to do is make two holds with a similar axis on the rock such as left hand hold and right leg hold or vice versa. You may also balance out only on your two feet, but I would advise you against balancing on only one hand or foot or only on two hands.

Mountain Climbing or Mountaineering

2010-01-01T19:49:00.000-08:00

Mountain climbing, or mountaineering, is one of the oldest sports in the world. It is the timeless sport of scaling high slopes on a mountain with the goal of reaching the top, or summit, in mind. Mountaineering is actually a combination of many other sports, like snow, ice, and rock climbing as well as hiking and often camping. Mountaineering is lifestyle.

Much of the introductory mountain climbing done by beginners is little more than hiking up hill. Because there is such a range of difficulty levels and it is easy to start, mountain climbing is very popular. The basic climbs also seem much less intimidating than if people had to start off scaling a straight up rock wall.

The other exciting part is that there is such variety in the sport even at its most basic levels. In fact, one day of mountain climbing can get you everything from freezing temperatures to unbearable heat due to changes in altitude, weather, and basic sub angles. This variety offers you the opportunity to use skills like problems solving, climbing skills, and overall physical conditioning.

When beginning mountaineering as a sport, there is a lot to consider in terms of training and equipment. In the beginning, supplies that are necessary really only include those similar to hiking: tents, sleeping bags, and rations are obviously a must, but little else. However, as the difficulty level increases and the slope becomes tougher, climbers will need ropes and other actual climbing equipment to ensure safety. In extreme climbing situations, rock and ice climbing gear is needed beyond the ropes and hiking equipment.

So with all of this in mind, how do you get started if you think mountaineering might be for you? The first thing you must do is figure out which type of mountain climbing would be best for you. Each type of mountain climbing, no matter what level, does require a certain amount of personal fitness as well as an investment of time and money. Choose the one that sounds the most like something you would enjoy, rather than just looking for the one most commonly associated with more clout. Decide whether you like hiking more than climbing, what kind of weather you prefer to be active in, and how much cardiovascular effort you are willing to put into the sport. Once you have answered many of those questions, you will have an easier time deciding which type of climbing will work best for you.

In addition, as a beginner, it may be a good idea to consider hiring a mountain guide. Mountain guides are professionals who are adept climbers and skiers who can help lead you up a mountain safely. They know the terrain and can help you with what you need to know and what you need to do in order to get to the summit safely in some of your early climbs. As a beginner, spending time with a mountain guide is a great way to learn the basics of mountaineering before you try doing it on your own on a mountain you don’t really know. As a general rule with most anything, learning with a professional is the best and safest way to get your start. If your guide is certified, it means that he or she has done a number of trainings and has literally thousands of hours worth of personal experience climbing. Even if you are not a beginner, but you wish to advance a mountain that is beyond your skill set, a guide will be able to assist you with that climb.

For many a person globally, mountain climbing has become a complete lifestyle. For some, it becomes almost a complete obsession. However, for many, mountaineering makes a wonderful little distraction from the mundane nine to five living and routine family life. It fills the same gap that golf might for many others. In addition, pursuing mastery of various aspects of climbing is a challenge that can last you the rest of your life and keep you in good physical condition. Many find that as they master one aspect of climbing, they immediately find themselves obsessed with the next phase. You just may find that one day you are that obsessed mastering climber, but the only way to find out is to get out there and get started right away.

2009-08-21T02:15:00.000-07:00

Ijen Crater is an active one which is combination of Mt. Raung and Mt. Ijen. There are two main routes leading to the crater. The first route is from Banyuwangi to the south-west through Jambu village. By mini bus from Banyuwangi, we go to Licin village and by another mini bus go to Jambu village, as the last village.

From the Jambu village, we start trekking by passing Coffee and Clove Plantation along the way to a splendid tropical forest. This way is used daily by the workers to carry sulfur stores from Ijen Crater, so the path is quite wide and good. In the middle of the journey, we will find cold water from a small river. It will take 4 hours before getting at a prairie. There are three locked huts and some water from rain. We need another 1 and half hours to reach to the crater. On the way, there is a small office managing sulfur mining, in which we can buy drinks or cigarettes.

The second route is from Bondowoso to southeast passing Wonosari and Ijen Kaldera which is he biggest kaldera in Indonesia. From Bondowoso, just straight to Wonosari – Sukosari and continued to Sempol. Sempol is the nearest village to Ijen Crater and there is no inn there.

We will takes 5 hours passing beautiful savanna, to reach the three locked huts above from Sempol. We can rent a car from Wonosari or Sempol to go to Pal Tuding to minimize time is minibus rarely passes there. It will spend another 2 hours, trekking from Pal Tuding to the tree locked huts.

Ijen Crater forms a lake with boiling light green color water whose sides strongly blows sulfuric gas. Ijen Crater is one of the most fascinating panoramas in Java Island.

River boarding Game Equipment

2009-08-11T05:12:00.000-07:00

River boarding Game Equipment. If the carrier and trekking shoes are basic equipment in mountain climbing, the basic equipment river boarding course river board. After that there is safety equipment, the jacket, helmet, and knee cap and the tibia. In addition, frogs have shoes as equipment adjuvant.

Surfboard River

There are two types of material used to make river board modern, which is a mixture of foam rubber and plastic bump resistance. The most developed is a foam board, because the more impact-resistant. Hollow plastic board is generally used in the rivers that are not much or more in the stone. Not heavy, about 7 kg. Can be made with the Aerodynamic shape, so often used for speed and slalom competitions. While the board rubber foam weighing between 7-15 kg. There are special forms of racing, free style, boogie, and rescue.

Float

Even though the children usually play in the village which is quite swift river wearing only shorts, vest Still River boarding in absolute terms. First, because we are not too familiar with the characters as their river. If we pool skills are superb as the adventurer, the guidelines on safety should not ignore if we want to do the responsible activity. Second, not the perpetrators of more secret activities in the generally open nature inflame if the greater the risk. Small cascade, which may still be safe enough without a life jacket forded by skilful swimmer, quickly became less challenging if we are carrying a surfboard. Without realizing we will exceed the limit in order to find a more rapid weight. So, always use a jacket since the beginning. Vest the right to float the river this is the usual pro-worn kayak. Unlike the vest for rafting, kayaking vest worn as we wear T-shirt, or with reselecting in the future, the webbing tape on both sides.

Helm River

With the same jacket, helmet for absolute safety. Helmet that is used for regular rafting sufficient. However, in line with the increase in river level of difficulty that we select, consider a special helmet that covers the ears and works to protect the head side. Helm special surfing river also have eye protectors, such as motorcycle helmets, this is to prevent our eyes from the water that can be sore if we crash in high speed. If using a helmet, we can enter the cascade with large eyes wide open.

Knee cap and the tibia

As well as helmets, knee cap and have dried the bones specifically designed for river surfing. But it is quite safe when replaced with a protective softball. Has a special protective shell knee cap, which ignites with more soft material for protecting bone dry.

Frog Shoes

Unlike the vest, helmet and protective feet, which is a requirement of safety, shoes, fin swimming frogs or do we make it easier to maneuver. Without fin we may only be brought out flow. Frog shoes can not be used if we only want to have fun in the flow that does not unduly downpours. Fin that we do not need to select the top quality, just a middle-class only, with the price of one hundred thousand more. Fin to surfing the river forms a short and somewhat rigid. Fin can help us go faster than the flow of the river, so it is able to avoid the vortex that we do not want to skip, or even entering a challenging rapid.

Other equipment

Some equipment can increase the enjoyment we surfing in a river. Motorcycle gloves can reduce the risk of a hand grip abrasions exposed surfboard. Swimming glasses, if we do not use a special helmet wear protective eye, we will create a more durable in the water without eyes to become red. For those who wear glasses minus, you can buy glasses with lenses in accordance pool dioptri glasses. There are also entering a wet suit (wetsuit) to this list, because it can help to avoid abrasions, if the shallow part of the river and many miles, also add a power float (buoyancy), although slightly hamper movement. Other additional equipment is a bag of water (hydration pack), especially if we surf all day long-distance, because although there are always in the water, lack of body fluids fell ill ease muscle cramps.

One factor in the challenge which is also known as hydrospeed this is speed. In the current very swift, surfer speed can exceed 30 km per hour. Not fast at all compared to the motorcycle. However, the other challenge is the direct relationship between the perpetrators with the rivers. It s just between you and the river, so the motto the lovers. Modern surfboard is generally made of foam rubber thickness is 8-12 cm. In the turbulent water of the river, sometimes thick board that does not mean anything. With the rubber boat or kayak, we are often swallowed cascade. With riverboard, almost all the time we are in parallel with the surface water. The rest, briefly disappear briefly into the air. That's why there are sites on the internet surfing the river to install the title Face Level.

Not the other, the French spark riverboarding this jacket to replace the originally simply tied with foam rubber. Forms also continue to be developed, to achieve the basic form of a surfboard that the river is now known.

Now, riverboarding already wide spread in Europe, America and Australia and New Zealand. Robert Carlson said, however, one of the leaders riverboarding modern, actual events have already hydrospeed since prehistoric era! How can? According to Carlson, who has jumped into the river with any means of float, and surf the flow, can be categorized as surfer river. For example, there are groups of people who take advantage of the ancient fallen trees or blocks of wood as a means of transportation. Until now no such activity still exists. For example, try to play the villages near the rivers. Children of primary school age with a relaxing bath in the river with the downpours often only banana trunks or bamboo. Seems prehistoric era still in progress.

Why riverboarding very late entering Indonesia? It's not just a matter of price, although price riverboard on average above 3 million if the exchange rate of rupiah. May play a role is a slow flow of information. Now, we can easily surf the internet, that information flow so as soon as the river flows after rainfall in the upstream, so that we in Indonesia can be surfing in the rivers of our immeasurable potential and challenges, and even participate in race-race hydrospeed that have been held in many other countries.
