Carstensz pyramid, Dream The Climber


For mountain climbers, climb the mountain range Jayawijaya and Sudirman (Carstensz Pyramide), Papua, is a dream. Imagine, on one mountain peak (Sudirman) there is the highest point in Indonesia. Carstensz Pyramide (4884 masl) save a lot of uniqueness and challenges. Do not be surprised if the hiker-climber's top world-class racing to climb the highest peak in Australasia this. No less than the climber Heinrich Harrer whose life is played by Brad Pitt in Seven Years In Tibet became the first person to climb the Carstensz Pyramid. Then the first climber Reinhold Messner The 14 peaks above 8,000 meters.

Pat Morrow who launched the Carstensz Pyramid as one of the seven peaks in seven continents of this earth. Irian was part of the continent of Australasia he said. This resulted climbers world-class climbers in droves to follow in his footsteps including Everest climber Junko Tabei the first woman ever to touch the top of this.

Unfortunately, alotnya permit procedures that must be owned, made a lot of climbers have thought better to berekspedisi. Moreover, the central mountainous region of Papua had closed for the ascent since the kidnapping case in Mapenduma.

Among mountain climbers in Indonesia there is satire about climbing the mountain in Papua. "It's harder than taking care of his permission to climb the mountain," they complained. Permission mountain climbing, primarily to Carstensz Pyramide in Papua is complicated and unclear. There is no valid license is a piece of mail such as climbing in Nepal, where climbers are given a kind of passport complete sheet with photos and captions to climb the peak height of how many permits in the area where.

If you want to pass Tembagapura plus the Indonesian Rock Climbing Federation (FPTI). It all must be managed in Jakarta. Then in Jayapura, the recommendations of Bakorstanasda and Police Chief should be bagged. In Timika, PT Freeport Indonesia's recommendation for EPO and permit passage facilities.

"Last in Tembagapura, coordination with the Emergency Response Group (ERG) for the handling of the Emergency Procedure and apparatus Satgaspam to track security issues," explained a climber.

If passed Nabire, a letter from Police Bakorstanasda and Irian Jaya should be reported to the police station and Kodim Paniai Nabire, both of which exist in the town of Nabire. Then last in Ilaga, all letters of recommendation given to the local Tripika (Ilaga), namely police, Koramil and sub-district heads.

But wait, the three leaders would decide whether or not to continue the expedition climbers. It all depends on the security situation at that time. If there is no danger that could threaten the safety of climbers such as tribal warfare, the climber can begin. Well that's a long list of letters of recommendation to climb the roof of Indonesia. Complicated and troublesome.

Most of the mountain guides, professional climber up to class amateurs, had to swallow disappointment. In fact according to them, a lot of foreign tourists who want to reach white snow in the tropics. Paradise Earth vertigo political problem is also undermining efforts to make the Carstensz Pyramid and Sudirman mountains as a tourist destination that could be the mainstay of Papua. For some people, Carstensz is a source of sustenance for itself and have a high selling price.

Scarcity of information about the two mountains that also makes the interest in mountain climbing Carstensz Pyramide primarily in Papua should subside in the middle of the road. Except, for the climbers that sufficient funding and experience. Not many books "output" their own country which is really telling the pleasure of adventuring to reach the roof of Indonesia. At most, only some form of writing the results of the expedition to get there. Finally, local climbers, hikers should be helter-skelter looking for information to several well-known association of nature lovers and experienced in this country. But it's probably not how complicated if compared with the care of permissions.
