If the head of the family who lived in this village are more or less there will be bad things that are not desirable. This can be seen with the presence of the tomb in Puncak Nglanggeran. Therefore, if their children are married then the new family had to leave the hamlet Tlogo Mardhido.

After visiting the village with the seven heads of the family, we went back to the base camp and try to climb Mount Gede. In contrast to the eastern peak that can still be achieved using motorcycles to reach Gunung Gede anyone mandatory tracking. Down a path with a rock on the right and left of the road into an exciting experience. Getting to the top, the road getting steep. Some straps are installed to facilitate the climbers.

Shortly after successfully conquer a friend said, "It's like in the movie 127 Hours, tense but cool ..."
