Carstensz Pyramid
Altitude 4884m, Duration 13 days, Grade 4A (grades)
A wild & remote adventure to the true summit of Australasia
Background
Director Dave Pritt continues to lead the way on Carstensz… five with 100% success an in 2008 Adventure Peaks made the first return journey from the remote village of Ilaga, a magnificent trek in its own right supported by the mysterious Dani tribe. 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 the West 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 by trekking, helicopter and through the Freeport goldmine. Notable climbs include the first Irish (Ian McKeever & Grania Willis) and first South African (Sibusiso Vilane) ascents
