Is Carstensz Pyramid Open ? 

After the international border is opened, this is the top question from our waiting list registered climbers. Until now Carstensz is still CLOSED. The closing of Carstensz Pyramid is due to security condition since August 2019.  Recently, an operator trying to bring clients to the mountain, but unfortunately they stuck in Timika and going back home. The security situation right now make us impossible to run any expedition, at least till end of this year. The mountain area is among the RED ZONE status in term of security. We have postponed our schedule depatures until further notice.

 

We have good relation with the Army and Police here, and keep in touch regularly, but, none of them able to tell any good progress there.  You are not allow to reach the basecamp without permit.

 

Our Monthly Climbing Departure Dates will be released, as soon as the condition consider safe by Intelligence assessment and climbing permit allows. For new clients  email us to get the expedition update.

Carstensz Overview

For many  7 summit climbers, ascending Carstensz and Puncak Jaya are on the bucket list. These two summits, located in the Papua region of Indonesia, are often thought to be the same. The Carstensz (4,884 m asl) consist of a large limestone with very rough texture of hard rock. The techincal difficulty level is up to 5.8, it is the only of 7 Summits that need more rock climbing skills to climb.  Climbers should be comfortable with a variety of ascent and descent techniques, such as rappelling, mixed climbing, and rock climbing.  The tyrolean traverse method is an amazing part that must be passed before stepping their foot on top of the Carstensz Pyramid.

 

Puncak Jaya, on the other hand, is not technically difficult, and the ascent is non-technical with only a basic scramble to the summit. Since Puncak Jaya is not a technical climb, it's a more straightforward summit ascent, perfect for climbers who want to gain elevation but don't have the skills for a technically challenging climb.
