Mount Semeru Closed to Climbers Monday, 05 January, 2009 | 14:57 WIB
TEMPO Interactive, Lumajang: Starting from today (5/1), the Semeru Bromo Tengger National Park is closed, due to poisonous gases.
Jusman, head of the national park for the Lumajang area, said that the permission will not be granted for climbers.
“If there are any climbing activities, they’ll be considered illegal,” he said.
He mentioned three reasons for not allowing climbing activities: the weather, the climbing route condition, and poisonous gases.
“It is been raining a lot at Mount Semeru and this could lead to landslides. It’ll be dangerous for climbers,” said Jusman.
