Mount Kerinci climb and safety

Hi All,

I have read reports by the ';Pusat Vulkanologi'; (Volcanology Centre) Indonesia, in particular their latest post on the subject matter on 27 December 2008 that climbing and going near the crater at the summit is not allowed.

I have plans to do Kerinci. have I misinterpreted the %26#39;warning%26#39;? What is the current status? Is it safe to trek and summit the volcano as of today?

Can anyone who has information or who have been there recently please help.

Thanks.

Hi Footyboy,

I just contact my Friend who live at Kersik Tuo, He said that is correct Pusat Vulkanologi announce do not going near the Crater at the summit, but it doesn%26#39;t mean stop climb the Kerinci.

some time the mount explode the Brimstone Gas or we call here ';Gas Belerang';

that way before climb we will see the wind direction to get on top, some time crater have gas ';Belerang or Brimstone';.

We can say no problem to anyone who like to climb Kerinci for now.

Thanks for reassuring news. Does this mean that climbers can still reach the summit/top as long as they stay away from the crater rim? Thanks in advance.

Yes right the climber just aware from crater rim on the summit, I suggest to use local guide to climb up

FootyboyMalaysia,

What date do you go?

Wow, that time has come along quickly. It only seems like yesterday you were asking for information.

Have a wonderful wonderful trip and I hope you will be able to climb.

I checked Volcano live website by John Seach the Australian world authority on volcaanoes and trips but he does not have any information about the the new activity.

However, he may not be up to date because he may be taking travellers on a volcano trip.
