KOMPAS.com- A High School student Multazam (18) died after falling and slipping on his way to the top Pyramid Mountain, Sunday (9/8/2020) morning.
Late in the afternoon, Multazam was found lifeless with his face down.
Apparently not only Multazam, another climber had a similar incident a year ago.
The climber who was declared missing and found dead in the ravine of Mount Pyramid was named Thoriq Rizki Maulidan.

Thoriq did not return …
He climbed with three of his colleagues, Rizki, Syafril and Pungki Pranata.
On Mount Pyramid, three climbers climbed to see the sunset.
Meanwhile, one of them, Syafril, chose to quit because he was tired and waited at the three colleagues below.
The three climbers then reached the top and decided to go down in the afternoon.
At that time, Thoriq walked at the front. Due to the thick fog, two of Thoriq’s colleagues could not see it clearly.
When the two colleagues arrived at the bottom, Thoriq never returned. The incident was then reported to local residents.
Thoriq was declared missing since Tuesday (25/6/2019).
Found in a 400 meter ravine
Receiving the report, the joint SAR team searched for Thoriq’s whereabouts.
Thoriq’s body was found on Friday (5/7/2019) afternoon.
His body was evacuated by a joint SAR team from a 400 meter deep ravine on Mount Pyramid.
The police confirmed that the body was Thoriq.
“After we did the autopsy, there was also a family party, the body was Thoriq,” said Deputy Chief of Police Bondowoso Kompol David Subagio, Saturday (7/6/2019).
The body was then handed over to the family for burial.
