Abstract :
This abstract reviews the development of the popularity of mountain climbing in
Indonesia since 1964, especially focusing on Mount Slamet in Central Java. Even though
interest in climbing is increasing, there are still many climbers who are not familiar with
the basic procedures and information regarding this mountain. The hiking route via
Bambangan is the main choice, but faces challenges such as a lack of direction markers,
inadequate posts and simple information maps. Incidents of getting lost and even the
death of climbers show the importance of better infrastructure and information in
supporting climber safety. This research proposes designing an Environmental Graphic
Design (EGD) to improve infrastructure, knowledge and comfort for climbers on the
Mount Slamet climbing route. This EGD will include a system of signs, directions and
map information, which is expected to make navigation easier and reduce the risk of
getting lost while climbing.
