Having spent the last twenty years as a workaholic, the daughter of
the author finally persuaded her father to undertake a three-day
climb of the Rinjani mountain in Indonesia. Little did the author
know of the challenge ahead as he had envisaged a casual three-day
trek. Although there were rumours that climbing Rinjani was a real,
dangerous challenge, the expedition left on a rather lighthearted
note. The author departed only in a tee shirt and jeans and
training shoes choosing not to heed the warnings of the more
experienced. Borne in the North of England, he had maintained the
belief that man is a man and that scaling a mountain in a tee shirt
is the right thing to do.
While Diana pressed ahead, her father soon felt the fatigue of
climb, and confidence was soon replaced with fear, and as the first
night set in, the cold was intense having decided that sleeping
bags were not required.
A lighthearted story of interaction between daughter and father
and fellow companion but with a real sense of adventure and
achievement. On average, 20 people a year lose their lives on
Rinjani and this was a challenge that none of the companions would
regret.
