Gunung Api

Finally a mountain. A small one mind you, but a mountain nonetheless. Gunung Api is a 282 metre (52 up-and-down stair cycles - half a CN Tower) volcano that rises out of the harbour of Bandaneira in the Moluccas Islands in eastern Indonesia. It is a lovely thing to behold, but a bit of a beast to climb, not because of the relatively trivial elevation gain, but because of the frustratingly loose scree surface all the way up. I know because I climbed it in the spring of 1994 and wrote about it here:
