Brilio.net - Mountain climbing is an activity that requires physical strength and excellent stamina. The reason is, this activity requires the ability to walk and climb at the same time, especially when carrying heavy loads in the form of equipment and supplies. In addition, the varied and steep terrain requires muscle strength and good body balance.
Therefore, mountain climbing activities are usually carried out by young people. However, who would have thought that there are also parents who do it. Like the middle-aged woman in this video. The appearance can be seen via TikTok posts with the account @mang.peno.
The man who made the video is known to be climbing Mount Sangar which is located in Mekarjaya Village, Arjasari District, Bandung Regency. It is known that the height of the mountain reaches 1,690 meters above sea level (MDPL). To get to the top, climbers usually need approximately one day.

However, while resting, the man nicknamed Mang Peno accidentally met another climber. There were 4 women, one of whom was 75 years old.
Mang Peno looked surprised when he saw the middle-aged woman. The reason is, at an age that is no longer young, he is still able to climb mountains. His physical condition still looks healthy and fit.
"Tough 75 year old grandmother at 1,690 MDPL," wrote the video maker.

After several minutes of rest, they all finally returned to climbing. The grandmother seemed smiling and enthusiastic about getting to the top. Mang Peno was very impressed with the grandmother's enthusiasm for life and resilience.
"Not cans, boss," he wrote.
Mang Peno explained that only a few of the routes used to climb the mountain were flat. But overall there are more extreme climbs. So it does take extra energy to get to the top.
Many are curious about the secret of their grandmother who is still able to climb in her old age. Mang Peno revealed that one of the recipes is about food consumption . When the grandmother was little, she often ate vegetables even until she was 75 years old.

Apart from that, today's food is also fast food which lacks nutrition. Mang Pengo said that the woman never consumed it, that's why she became healthy and fit like now.
"Do you know what the recipe says? When he was little he often consumed vegetable food until now. He never ate anything strange like now," wrote Mang Peno.
This story then went viral and attracted the attention of netizens. Not a few of them were also amazed at their grandmother's physical appearance. They praised him in the comments column.
