| MichaelJ | Route Climbed: rim Date Climbed: May 2004  | |
| The most awesome setting of any of the volcanoes I climbed in Java. I traversed the rim, which was worth the time and trouble. Two weeks later a small eruption killed two visitors. | |

| zaleha | Route Climbed: started from Ranupane and reach to basecamp of Tengger Bromo Date Climbed: december 2003 | |
| During my summit Mount Bromo there are some active gas gushing from the craters of this mountain.We manage to trek halfway because the thick smoke and the sulphur gas choking our breath hinder us to move to the end edge of the peak | |

| Dan Bailey | Route Climbed: no idea, it was dark Date Climbed: some time in 1994 | |
| Setting out in the dark to catch the sunrise, we managed to climb the wrong mountain, and only realised our mistake when daylight revealed a whole bunch of people on a different cone. Then we had to go and climb bromo too, which was nice. | |

| thomas.schmeidl | Route Climbed: standard Date Climbed: OKt 1979 | |
| although more than 20 years ago, I remember sunrise at the edge of of Mt. Bromo crater very well. Mt. Bromo and its caldera are worth a visit for Java tourists | |

| UlrichPrinz | Route Climbed: Down and Up crater interior ;-) Date Climbed: June 2001 | |
| Well, of course reaching the 'summit' is no big deal, It is no 'climb', all you have to do is to walk up some stairs. More interesting and also not recommendable to the average tourist is the descent to the bottom of the Bromo-Crater itself. I knew that religous people do this as a ceremony, so I considered it to be do-able, but I was the only one around with that opinion ;-) I went down and it was an interesting expererience, I stood in the fumes and felt the warmth and the smell very intensively. Don't get too near to the very inner whole, because the faces are a bit instable. (You can go near to some yards) NOTE: This excursion seems to be impossible at the moment, as there were many smaller eruptions since Nov.29.2000 | |
