In October I went on a trek up and over Mount Rinjani, a 3,700m active volcano in Lombok, Indonesia. It was pretty spectacular - but quite a challenge.

I wrote a blog post about it here:

Rinjani: Journey to Another World (https://www.shaunjohnston.com/2015/12/rinjani-journey-to-another-world/)

Here are a couple of pics - there are more in the blog post.

Rinjani was one that I'd always planned to climb, but I never quite made it. Not sure that I ever will now. Did you get to any active bits?

Spectacular place! I specially like #1 & 4.
Pity about the graffiti on the rock.

No active parts unfortunately. It erupted a week after we did the trek!
