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).

2007/8 SUCCESS - Four expeditions with 100% success including-

1st South African (Sibusiso Vilane)
