After a Slip, Ira Wibowo's Desire from 40 Years Ago to Climb Mount Rinjani Finally Comes True

Senior artist Ira Wibowo shares her first moment climbing a mountain, which marked the beginning of her interest in the great outdoors. She admits that at that time, she did not fully understand the world of climbing. 

She states that her love for this activity began about seven to eight years ago, long before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world. "First was Mount Prau, if I'm not mistaken about 7-8 years ago, definitely before COVID," said Ira Wibowo when met in the Tendean area, South Jakarta, Monday (30/6/2025).

His interest arose from an invitation from a friend who was already active in mountain climbing. This artist's older brother, Ari Wibowo, eventually joined and fell in love with his first experience."At first, it was because I wanted to try it because some of my friends invited me, and they really love climbing mountains, 'come on, join us, it's really great. You will definitely be amazed when you reach the top,'" he explained.

The journey to Mount Prau left a deep impression that is hard to forget. For him, the mountain peak is a reward for all the effort."When I tried going to Mount Prau, it really was. When I reached the peak, it felt like receiving a gift from God, such a beautiful view," he said.

After that, Ira became more interested in trying more challenging mountains. The 57-year-old artist then chose Rinjani, which he had dreamed of for a long time."I went to Rinjani 2 years ago, in May 2023. Why Rinjani? Rinjani is indeed different," he said.

The desire to climb Rinjani has actually been present for decades. Ira once kept the dream of seeing the beauty of Segara Anak with her own eyes."When I was younger, I saw a photo of 'Segara Anak' and really wanted to go there. But telling myself that 40 years ago, it feels like just yesterday," she explained.

The experience in Rinjani provides a different sensation compared to other mountains. Although the terrain is challenging, the views are said to be extraordinarily beautiful."The effort is definitely more, but when you get there, the beauty is absolutely amazing," she said.

Regarding the news that she had fallen, Ira also explained. She mentioned that the situation was still within reasonable limits and not something dangerous.

"It's a slip, that's a reasonable interpretation, just a little bump, not something that's really dangerous," he concluded.
