Carstensz Pyramid (4884 m.)

 

Carstensz Pyramid (4884m) is:

The highest peak of Australia and Oceania

One of the 7 summits peaks

Exciting climbing 600- metres wall !

The summit was reached by Hainrich Harrer, who climbed the North Wall of Eiger and the hero of the movie: 7 years in Tibet.

In 2007 and 2008 our expeditions successfully climbed the top !

 

There are 2 ways to reach the base, or a very exhausting 8-day passage through the tropical jungle, in which there are often problems with porters, and tribal conflicts often break out. However, jungle crossing will forever remain an adventure of a lifetime. Alternatively, a helicopter flight to the base, which, however, is devoid of jungle adventure, but gives you peace of mind. After reaching the base, we will be climbing a 600-meter wall with max V + difficulties. And at the end a steep gran with 1 rope bridge. All climbing is insured with handrail ropes.
