SINGAPORE – In early May, with four of his friends, my son went to Lombok, Indonesia, to scale Mount Rinjani.
Mount Rinjani stands at 3,726m tall. It is not the highest mountain in the world, but the terrain is known to be tough, as one has to navigate loose volcanic gravel in the last lap towards the summit. Aspiring climbers often struggle to make a little progress, advancing two steps forward and sliding one step back.
