Bagging It!

This dormant peak is close to the city of Bukittinggi. It is a twin volcano with the lower yet volcanically active Gunung Tandikat. The mountain can be climbed rom several places: Pakan Sinayan, Koto Tuo, Balingka and Pandai Sikat. For the latter approach, which is the most popular, head from Kota Baru to Pandai Sikat and follow a rough trail to a small village named Pago Pago. From Pago Pago there is an infrequently used trail to the summit. There is a crater lake, Telaga Dewi, at the top. Apparently the highest point is a transmitter mast compound surrounded by tall vegetation.
