International Carstensz Pyramid Expedition
Safari Tours & Travel is working closely with Franky Kowaas from Manado in his continuing endeavor to bring climbers to Indonesia. Franky was instrumental in obtaining permission and securing permits on an ongoing basis for the accent to Carstensz Pyramid. As of August 10, 2005 there have been three expeditions to Carstensz Pyramid with more expeditions still scheduled this year. Foreigners are welcomed and encouraged to participate in this portion of the Seven Summit challenge. The trip begins and ends in Manado, North Sulawesi.
"Three were on the ridge on and one on the ground. An arm's-length out and the banked fog held them bound."
Kipling's Rhyme of the Three Sealers is easy to adapt to the first legal climb in years of the Carstensz Pyramid in July 2005. They transmitted the first report to ExWeb from Singapore the climbers are back in California - looking over their pictures.
Although there is still no permit currently available for future climbs according to a commercial outfitter, this ascent was not only a scoop - but possibly a door opening back into Irian Jaya.
Safe, legal and successful - an American team, facilitated by Franky Kowaas of Manado Adventures, re-opened Indonesia's Carstensz Pyramid to foreign climbers with the first successful summit on Friday, July 8th.
Believed to be the first legal foreign expedition since 2002, American climbers James Clarke, Pat Hickey and Randy Peeters teamed with Indonesian (Manadonese) Franky Kowaas overcame significant legal and logistical challenges to gain access to the remote 5000 meter peak, located in the highlands of Indonesia's Papua province.
