After hours of technical climbing, we emerged onto the summit ridge of Carstensz Pyramid. The clouds that had been our constant companions parted just enough to reveal our position – perched at 4,884 meters (16,024 feet) on the highest point between the Himalayas and the Andes. The weather, as if honoring the magnitude of the moment, gifted us with perfect conditions: cloudy but remarkably still, without the fierce winds that often guard this remote summit. We’ve conquered our sixth of the Seven Summits, a journey that has pushed us to our limits on the highest peaks of each continent. Carstensz Pyramid stands apart. While other summits might be higher or colder, none match the technical complexity of this limestone giant. The climbing that brought us here – the vertical walls, the exposed traverses, the delicate balance of technical skills and high-altitude endurance – makes this achievement feel different. Standing on the summit, we couldn't help but reflect on the five-year wait to even attempt this climb. The mountain's closure since 2019 had made this moment even more precious, more significant. We were among the first teams to stand here since its reopening, on the roof of Oceania, in one of the most remote and wild places left on Earth. Six down. One to go.

Puncak Jaya, atau dikenal juga dengan nama Piramida Carstensz, adalah puncak tertinggi di Indonesia dan terletak di Pegunungan Sudirman, Papua. Berikut adalah beberapa informasi penting tentang Puncak Jaya: * Ketinggian: Puncak Jaya memiliki ketinggian 4.884 meter di atas permukaan laut (mdpl), menjadikannya gunung tertinggi di Indonesia dan salah satu puncak tertinggi di dunia. * Lokasi: Puncak Jaya terletak di Kabupaten Mimika, Provinsi Papua Tengah, Indonesia. * Gletser: Di sekitar Puncak Jaya terdapat gletser Carstensz, satu-satunya gletser tropis yang tersisa di Indonesia. Namun, gletser ini semakin menipis akibat pemanasan global. * Pendakian: Puncak Jaya merupakan salah satu gunung yang paling menantang untuk didaki di dunia. Pendakian memerlukan persiapan fisik dan mental yang matang, serta peralatan khusus dan pemandu yang berpengalaman. * Keunikan: Selain menjadi puncak tertinggi, Puncak Jaya juga memiliki keindahan alam yang luar biasa, dengan lanskap pegunungan yang menakjubkan dan keanekaragaman

One of the most exiting mountain I have travelled in my life. Among all 7 summits this one is the most technically difficult. We have reached the summit in 5 hours 29 minutes. The way back is a bit harder, cause you have to use figure eight on most of the ropes.

Secara administratif Puncak Jayawijaya barada di Range Sudirman atau Dugunduguo, tepatnya di provinsi Papua Barat. Puncak Jayawijaya merupakan puncak tertinggi dari seluruh bagian wilayah Indonesia. Gunung ini masuk dalam deretan pegunungan Jayawijaya yang membentang sangat luas, bahkan menyatukan dua negara. Pegunungan ini memanjang dari provinsi Papua Barat wilayah Indonesia hingga Papua Nugini di Pulau Irian. Namun diantara pegunungan yang luas ini, gunung tertinggi ada di wilayah provinsi Papua Barat, Indonesia. Sehingga secara administratif Indonesia masih sangat beruntung, karena di puncak itulah yang menjadi incaran para pendaki kelas dunia.

Indonesia sendiri merupakan negara yang beriklim tropis. Seperti yang sudah Anda ketahui, negara ini membentang di atas garis Khatulistiwa, maka tidak mungkin jika ada salju di tanah ini. Namun hukum tersebut tidak berlaku untuk Puncak Jayawijaya. Karena dinginnya salju selalu menyelimuti Puncak Jayawijaya. Sungguh aneh, namun inilah yang menjadi daya tarik tersendiri bagi Puncak Jayawijaya. Gunung ini merupakan satu – satunya gunung yang diselimuti salju di wilayah Indonesia. Meskipun tidak semua puncak di pegunungan Jayawijaya...
