JAKARTA - No one denies climbing a mountain is the process of finding the meaning of life. The narrative was agreed by Widjajono Partowidagdo. Deputy Minister (Wamen) of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has made mountain climbing a hobby from college.
He has at least conquered 40 mountains at home and abroad. Widjajono is also known in the ranks of the United Indonesia cabinet to be a figure who inspires his friends to climb the mountain. However, death cannot be denied. Widjajono lost on Mount Tambora.
The conquest of the mountains in the archipelago cannot be done without careful preparation. Widjajono agreed. The man who was born in Magelang, September 16, 1951, considers the hobby of climbing a mountain to be a challenging activity and sometimes it becomes dangerous.
Complete preparation is a must. Widjajono had instilled this understanding when he began to pursue climbing sports from sitting in college. His colleagues while studying at the Bandung Institute of Technology's Petroleum Engineering (ITB) recognized Widjajono's essence as a reliable mountaineer.
Widjajono continues to make mountain climbing his hobby. His intensity of climbing is increasing. His favorite will go up the mountain when he starts a new life in the world of work. Every time he gets a chance he always dedicates his time to climb the mountain.
In fact, when he was appointed by the government of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) as Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources from 2011. His hobby of climbing the mountain was even famous among the ranks of the United Indonesia cabinet. He was predicted to be a figure who inspired his friend to climb the mountain.
Take for example Mari Elka Pangestu. The Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy was invited by Widjajono to climb Mount Tambora in Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) in April 2012. Initially the plan was agreed by Mari.
Later Let's start thinking about rejecting the invitation immediately. He feels that conquering Mount Tambora is not an easy thing. He also asked Widjajono to rearrange the plan to climb mountains with mountains that are relatively easy to climb.
