Yellow Valley (13,700 ft) with Carstensz Pyramid upper left (Rob Seely)
The Carstensz Pyramid Team is on the move today. The Team is up early and will be trekking to Base Camp in Yellow Valley (13,700 ft / 4,175 m). This is a fun trek that takes us over the wall and across the plateau, then through New Zealand Pass. This trek includes our Team wearing the famous mud boots that this trip is known for. The different plants that grow along the way turn to beautiful rock with different lakes to walk beside on the way. The final hill into Yellow Valley is a good push but the reward of Carstensz Pyramid at the end of the day makes it all well worth it!
