Carstensz Pyramid, Papua

Carstensz Pyramid is the snow-capped mountains in Papua, Indonesia, which is a lot in dreams by many climbers to be able to set foot on the peak. In addition because he is the highest peak in Indonesia, the climbers will find a different sensation that can not be found in almost all the characters mountains in Indonesia, that Indonesia's roof is covered with snow. 

But the snow is expected to shrink and dry up in 2024, this is due to global warming. The calculation is based on empirical data analysis is done using a linear approach Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics. So it is not impossible that one day these mountains will lose the snow as it does on Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa. 

Peak Carstensz Pyramid has a height of 4884 M above sea level (16,023 ft).  Located to the west of Central High land called as Sudirman Jayawijaya and mountains. Many think that the same Jayawijaya peak Carstensz Pyramide, the two adjacent peaks located. 

In 1623 John Carstensz Navigator of the Netherlands became the first to bring the word to Europe about the existence of the ice caps in the tropical western equatorial line eografis Papua New Guinea. The results of the report met with laughter by the public at the time. New in 1899, the lapse of three centuries of Dutch expedition was to create a map in there to justify what is conveyed John Carstensz.

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 is up and down for about 12 to 15 hours. The level of difficulty ranges from 3-4 standard UIIA. The difficulty is in taking this route is when under peak Jaya. The slope of a steep cliff, up to 10-15 degrees as high as about - about 80 feet, need extra cautious - approach.

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 ofClimbing. 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.
