| Carstensz Pyramid is a wild and remote adventure to the true summit of Australasia.
Background
Director Dave Pritt continues to lead the way on Carstensz ...
four expeditions 100% success and no problems with access.
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. Our entry is guaranteed for
the future as we made a pact to work with the 'Chief' of the Dani
tribe to develop tourism! Adventure Peaks will be taking
one of the Dani tribes people to Nepal in Spring 09 to help them
understand the needs of trekkers and to assist them to build their
first lodge!
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
both by helicopter and through the Freeport Goldmine (legally).
