Carstensz Pyramide - West Papua

The beauty of Carstensz Pyramide tour - West Papua : Cartensz name is taken from the inventor of a Dutch sailor, John Carstensz who witnessed the peak of the mountain is covered by ice at the equator. No one believes her peenyataan it. John Carstensz is the first European summit Cartesz witnessed with his own eyes.


Indonesian people call it by Puncak Jaya, Puncak Jaya even though not the highest peak of Carstensz itself. Puncak Jaya is one that is considered the highest peak in the mountains Jaya Wijaya.

There are several differences on the top of Carstensz Pyramid's height. Some claimed that the altitude is 4884 m (16 023 feet, miraculous sources call with 16,013 feet), some are meyatakan that height is 5030 meters (16 503 ft). Australian air navigational maps state that height is 16,503 feet (5030 meters). I do not know which one is correct, but it is certain that the top of Carstensz Pyramid is the highest peak in Indonesia, even in Australia and Oceania.

Puncak Jaya (Carstensz Pyramid, 4884 m, 16,023 ft), Puncak Mandala (4640m, 15,223 ft), and Trikora Peak (4730m, 15,518 ft), are the three main peaks of the famous mountains of West Papua him. Carstensz Pyramid dalah highest peaks, three peaks are located in the western part of the mountainous Jayawijaya.


Of the three peaks above, only the Carstensz Pyramid is always covered in snow. Then whence comes the snow that was da peak Carstensz, which incidentally was in Indonesia, which is the State of the equator? This is an unusual situation. One reason it is logical the tropical snowstorm that sometimes will bring snow to a spot above the height of 4000 m.

There are three main routes to reach the top of this Caratensz. The first is called the route Harrer (Harrer's Route). This route is the easiest route to pass. Although it is easy, does not mean everything will be easy to conquer the peak Jaya.
Harrer's route to travel up and down for about 12 to 15 hours. The level of difficulty ranges between 3-4 UIIA standards. The difficulty is in taking this route is when under glorious peak. The slope of a steep cliff, up to 10-15 degrees as high as approximately 80 meters, requiring extra caution. UIIA standard states that the difficulty in this case is 5-5 +. Dannpengetahuan considerable experience in climbing is the main provision. The rock is quite robust and not prone to landslides / off. Difficulties to be faced will be even greater when it reaches the jagged rocks that overhang the wall ranges from 10 feet, with difficulty levels 6-7 + satandar UIIA. For beginner climbers this can be overcome by using her as a tool Jumar.
The second route is the East Ridge. This route is a route halfway between Harrer and most difficult route. This route will go further and would also be longer.
The third route is American Direct. This route is a route that would travel straight to the top. This route requires skill, experience and adequate knowledge of Climbing. The worst of this route is, the higher the degree of difficulty when approaching the peak, which is a steep cliff, a wall of peaks Cartensz.
If you're lucky, from the Puncak Jaya (Cartensz Pyramid), you will be able to see the ocean. If not, then you can only see the gold mines, and forests around the mountain Jayawijaya
