Dua mahasiswi Universitas Katolik Parahyangan, Fransiska Dimitri dan Mathilda Dwi Lestari bersiap mendaki puncak Gunung Everest, Maret 2018. Keduanya akan membawa alat musik daerah khas Jawa Barat, angklung.

Fransiska dan Mathilda sudah mendaki enam dari tujuh gunung tertinggi di dunia. Keenam gunung yang mereka sudah daki yakni Gunung Jaya (Indonesia) , Aconcagua (Argentina),  Denali (Amerika Serikat), Kilimanjaro (Tanzania), Elbrus (Rusia), dan Vinson Massif (Antartika).

Dari keenam gunung yang sudah mereka taklukkan, Mathilda mengatakan Gunung Denali di Alaska mempunyai kesulitan terberat. Angin menjadi tantangan terberat dua wanita kelahiran Bandung tersebut.

"Sekali yang paling susah, tapi pemandangannya sangat bagus," kata mahasiswa angkatan 2011 itu di Hotel Century Jakarta, Senin (24/07/17).

"Cuacanya sangat ekstrem di sana. Misalkan, paginya kita dapat cuaca cerah, sorenya sudah banyak kabut. Anginnya juga sangat kencang," ujar Mathilda menambahkan.

 

When you finally realise that you are in a continent where almost the whole land is covered by ice. This place is waaayyy too beautiful yet really dangerous. Can you imagine if you're here, alone in this continent. What would you do? This inhabitant continent had the coldest temperature ever recorded in the world, -93,2 degree of Celsius. During winter you will not see the sun at all. Then in the summer, a starry night sky is something that you will miss a lot. The rapid changing of the weather, the hard wind and the storm that will give you a white out. But, despite the facts that this is the driest, coldest or another -est in the world, this place could give the perfect solitude. A perfect silence. Where you can only hear the wind and the sound of people laughing sometimes. Also made me realised that we, human can be an alien in our own earth. No one can basically live here. We're just outsider here. We just come to visit, being amazed then leave it back to how it should be. Antarctica is such a whole new and different world. Thank you Antarctica ! Its been an honor to see you. And thank you for you all of you guys, especially @ina7summits who made us able to have this very rare experience. And this was our way back from Low Camp to Vinson Basecamp. #antarctica #vinsonmassif #ina7summits #sevensummits #mahitalaunpar #indonesia #canon #adventure #mountain

Sementara Fransiska mengatakan, keduanya selalu membawa angklung saat mendaki puncak tertinggi di dunia. Bagi mereka, ini cara terbaik memperkenalkan Indonesia di mata dunia.

"Kami selalu bawa angklung. Ini alat musik khas dari daerah kami, Jawa Barat. Kami selalu membunyikan angklung di puncak gunung," kata Fransiska .

"Ketika kami bunyikan, pendaki lain selalu bertanya itu apa. Kami jawab ini alat musik tradisional dari Indonesia. Kami ingin memperkenalkan Indonesia ke dunia," ucapnya mengakhiri.
