- First Glimpse of Carstensz Pyramid (Jason Edwards)
The Carstensz Pyramid Team stayed on schedule this morning with an early breakfast, followed by an acclimatization hike to the top of the wall. The trekking route takes the Team up the very cool looking ribbed rock and over the ridge where the lake is. From here, the Team treks counter clockwise around the lake and through some jungle area before popping out on the wall. Getting a dry run at the wall is a great way to acclimatize and prepare for tomorrow when they will have heavier packs and move into Carstensz Base Camp. A little afternoon rain as expected, tomorrow they move into Base Camp and improving weather forecasts!
