Per USATODAY:
"Today a rescue team managed to reach the place Juliana Marins was," the post on Instagram reads. "With great sadness we inform you that she did not survive."
Marins, 27, was hiking with five friends on Mount Rinjani when she slipped and fell off the 12,224-foot-high mountain, according to information from Indonesian authorities and Reuters.
Head of local rescuers Muhammad Hariyadi told Reuters Marins "fell off a cliff on the mountain but not into the volcano crater, while noting that the soft sand in the area made it difficult to retrieve her using ropes."
“Two rescue personnel were deployed to reach the victim's location and check the second anchor point at a depth of 350m (1,140 ft)," the park wrote in the post. "However, after observation, two large overhangs were found before reaching the victim, making it impossible to install the anchor. The rescue team had to climb to reach the victim."
But, park officials reported, "extreme terrain and dynamic weather," dense fog conditions, and narrowed visibility have hampered the recovery.
About fifty people were involved in the rescue efforts.
