Carstensz Pyramid is a dream

Carstensz Pyramid  is a mountain that has always been a dream of mountain climbers in the world. When you hear or read the name, it will come to mind climber, a mountain full of challenges and adventures.

Carstensz Pyramid Expedition starts from Zebra Wall (3,500 m). Zebra name is derived from the unique stone wall motif like Zebra skin, which has created thousands of years ago.


From here, we begin the expedition to Carstensz Base Camp, which will take approximately 3.5 hours by walking in the middle - the middle of the valley around the rocky walls - the stone. Travel a bit difficult, because they have to face the Mud and sharp rocks along the way.

Before entering the Base Camp area, we will pass the 3 lakes, commonly referred to as Lake 1, Lake 2 and lake 3. The lake is derived from rain and Glazer.


The stage was pretty impressive when we had to pass through "Door Wind". This is the gate to enter the valley Base Camp Area, where the wind was blowing very strong there, and therefore we have to go a little faster. After that, then we are passing through a flat area, where there are many small lakes, only then we arrive at Base Camp Base Camp called "Valley Lake - Lake" (4200 Masl).


From Valley lakes, we can see the Carstensz Summit, Puncak Jaya (Ngapulu) and Carstensz East. We will stop for a brief rest for a full day, to prepare themselves for the Summit Attack morning.


To be able to reach the top "Carstensz Pyramid ', we must have the ability to climb using a rope, climb capability thus very important here.


To avoid things that are not desirable, we must use climbing equipment is recommended. We have previously, to ensure that we have brought all of that is in the list of equipment needed. It's all to provide the best security and opportunity of our own, to reach the top.


Cliff first we've come across from the base camp, walk about 1.5 hours drive. We will see a wall with a height of approximately 60 m.


We will do some climbing with ropes, until we get to the spacious terrace, where we can rest for a while, before starting to climb the peak. From here up to the roof terrace will take approximately 15 minutes, by walking on the rocks (on the plains of sharp rocks and wet).


At this stage of climbing to the top, feels it would be difficult, at up to 60 degrees in slope of the wall, with a height of 45-50 m, this is the path leading to the top of the hill.


We must realize our true self with stamina respectively, by adjusting the optimum tempo ourselves.


To reach Carstensz Summit, we had to walk on the ridge of the mountain, where the road only has a width of 2-3 m. For that, we have to walk with extra caution, given the stamina we had already begun to weaken. It should also be remembered, from this point, we still took approximately 1.5 hours, to really get at the summit Carstensz.


With the right strategy, we would be able to survive to reach the peak Carstensz dream of every climber.


With an experienced guide and tough, we can stand up to the peak Carstensz.Carstensz Indonesia SurvivalJemmy "Moose"
