Indonesian mountaineering team reaches top of Mt. Qomolangma

A four-strong mountaineering team from Indonesia on Friday raised national flag on top of Mount Qomolangma in Nepal to mark the National Awakening Day, the Jakarta Post reported on Saturday.

"All four team members has reached the summit of the world's tallest mountain," said Julius Mario, the manager of the team which is running an Indonesia 7 Summits Expedition campaign, from the base camp.

Mt. Qomolangma was the sixth mountain the team climbed before it completes the final phase of an expedition to conquer the seven highest summits in the world next year.

The first member of the team to reach the peak of Mt. Qomolangma was Broery Andrew Sihombing, a 22-year-old mountaineer.

He reached the 8,848-meter peak at 5:22 a.m. local time with a guide from Mountain Experience, Hiroyuki Kuraoka, and a Sherpa guide, Pemba Nuru.

"Broery reached the summit after a seven-hour climb from Camp 4," Julius said in a release.

The team began their ascent on May 10 when they left base camp for Camp 1, taking the Southeast Ridge route on the Nepal side.

They continued their journey to Camp 2 on May 11 and stayed for two days.
