Mathilda Dwi Lestari (left) and Fransisca Dimitri (right) pose for a photograph in Jakarta on Monday (24/7).  The two are International Relations students at Parahyangan Catholic University’s School of Socio-Political Science, who are members of the Parahyangan Nature Lovers (Mahitala) club. They have managed to reach six of the seven world peaks, or seven summits in seven continents, and have only one destination left on their list: Mount Everest in Nepal. Once they have conquered all seven peaks of the world, they will be recorded as the first female climbers in Indonesia to successfully complete the Seven Summits expedition. They will also be the first recorded in Southeast Asia when referring to the Seven Summits category of Reinhold Messner.

The two women’s faces were glowing; they radiated a positive aura to everyone in the audience at one of Jakarta’s five-star hotels on Monday (24/7/2017). They never stopped smiling and laughing heartily to the dozens of people in the room.

Such was the expression of utmost happiness from the two hikers from the International Relations department at Parahyangan Catholic University’s School of Social and Political Sciences in Bandung. They are Fransisca Dimitri and Mathilda Dwi Lestari, both 23 and both members of the Nature-Loving Parahyangan Students’ Club (Mahitala) who had just finished their mission to climb their sixth of the world’s seven summits – the highest peaks of the seven continents.
