Full description
One of the most technical mountain to climb in seven summit list and also Australasia highest Peak. Reaching Carstensz Pyramid peak is not only about climbing the mountain. It starts with a 5-6 days trekking through dense jungle and meadow. The jungle and meadow trek are the toughest part, after that we reach Carstensz Base Camp. And then, it’s just one more day to the peak besides acclimatization day. Climbing Carstensz Pyramid is quite technical cause we have to climb the face using fixed rope. Carstensz appears as a mysterious and relatively unvisited climbing objective, flanked with glaciers and rising like a shark’s fin out of the mist of the jungle. This expedition has the attributes of a classic rock climb combined with a rare cultural experience. It is a journey of discovery and achievement, and most likely your best chance of experiencing this part of the world and standing on the summit of this exotic peak.
Why choosing a helicopter to climb Carstensz Pyramid ? Helicopter transfers allows fast access and avoids extensive treks into the mountain so that you can reach basecamp without wasting your time and energy trekking through dense jungle and meadow. This option also guarantee you with fresh food and high quality logistic support since we only spent not more than a week in the mountain. Those factor above makes Carstensz Pyramid via Helicopter Transfer as one of our 100% summit success trip.
