As the temperature decreases, his party asks climbers to be extra careful in carrying out climbing activities, obey the applicable rules and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and comply with the recommendations of officers at the climbing entrance. Every climber is asked to prepare themselves carefully, including ensuring that their physical health, technical and equipment requirements are in accordance with safety standards to avoid hypothermia due to cold temperatures.

"We have also placed officers along the climbing route up to Suryakancana Square, to ensure the climb can still be carried out and urge climbers to use equipment, especially clothing that can keep the body warm," he said.
