(UPDATE) BATU PALANO, Indonesia: Rescuers on the hazardous slopes of Indonesia's Mount Marapi have found the body of another climber, the last among the dozens caught off-guard by the volcano's eruption over the weekend, raising the death toll to 23, officials said on Wednesday.

About 75 climbers started their way up the nearly 2,900-meter (9,480-foot) volcano in West Sumatra province's Agam regency last Saturday but became stranded.
