| Carstensz Pyramid is a wild and remote adventure to the true summit of Australasia.
Background
At 4884m, Carstensz Pyramid is the highest peak in Indonesia and
Australasia, making it a significant challenge as part of the
Seven Summits. The remote Carstensz maintains a sense of mystery,
rising from the dense jungle of Papua and often shrouded in mist.
An expedition to this intriguing landscape is not just a climbing
venture, but a journey back in time through tribal ancestries
and an incredible rich and rewarding experience.
The climbing on this limestone mountain offers a variety of interesting
and challenging routes at varying grades. The standard route up
theWest Ridge is a relatively straightforward but technical scramble,with
the occasional steeper rock pitch at Severe (5.3-5.4) grading.
We have had 100% success on all our expeditions.We have approached
both by helicopter and through the Freeport goldmine (legally).
