Climbers prepare for world meet

JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian Climbing Federation (FPTI) will
send four national climbers to compete in the climbing world
championship in San Francisco, California.

FPTI chairman Maj. Gen. Sjahrir M.S. said on Wednesday the
team comprised senior climbers Yuyun Yuniar, Ronald Novar
Marimbing, Eta Hendrawati and their junior, Nurrahman Rosyid
would leave Indonesia on June 21.

After meeting with Wismoyo Arismunandar, chairman of the
National Sports Council (KONI), Sjahrir said FPTI would also hold
a national climbing championship in August to seek talented
climbers.

"The national championship is scheduled to take place in
Manado (North Sulawesi) because of its good mountains. Medan in
North Sumatra is also another alternative," said Sjahrir, who is
also the Army Special Forces (Kopassus) Commander. (ivy)
