Most climbers begin ascent of the route Sembalun and end the climb in Senaru, it can save a 700m altitude. Route Sembalun rather long but flat, and the weather is hotter because it is through the scorching savanna (cold temperatures, but direct solar radiation burns the skin). solar thermal barrier cream is recommended.
From Route Senaru incline without pause, but soft because of the weather through the forest. From both these locations on foot takes about 7 hours to the lips of the ridge at an altitude of 2.641m asl (arriving in Plawangan Senaru or Plawangan Sembalun).
