Denny +6281340798030
Day 1 > Arrival in Denpasar/Bali
Transfer to a hotel near the airport. Bali is well worth a visit, not least because of its charming
atmosphere, sunny weather and sandy beaches. We’ll enjoy the place and explore some of its many
sights. Overnight stay at a hotel.

2
Day 2 > Flight To Timika/Papua
Shortly after midnight flight to Timika/Papua with Garuda Indonesia

A 3-hour flight will bring us to Timika, a small but nevertheless important city. It is the supply point
of the Grasberg Mine. This makes it the workplace of many people, which is why Garuda Indonesia
offer direct flights to Timika. Here, we’ll make last preparations for the expedition. Overnight stay at
a hotel.

3
Day 3 > Flight Timika (80m)–Sugapa (2244m)–Suanggama
(2018m)
We’ll fly across the seemingly impenetrable Papuan rainforest, which gives us the change to inspect
it from above and take in its vastness – we’ll explore it on foot soon enough! Upon landing on the
bumpy runway, we are sure to be greeted by many curious spectators. We’ll continue as soon as
possible, on the back seat of a motorcycle. During the first stretch up to the bridge, which 2011 was
still in construction, we might well be stopped by local landowners demanding payment for crossing
their land. After some discussing and besoothing, however, we should be able to continue on our
way. The end of our adventurous drive is our camp in Suanggama. Flight time: 1h; driving time: 1 h.

4
Day 4 > Suanggama (2018m)–Salt Factory camp (2380m)
From Suanggama, the last village, we’ll descend down to the river. More or less following the course
of the river, we are at times high above it, at times very close to it. We’ll pass a house (Salt Factory)
at a small bridge, from where on we’ll continue for another 2 hours to our camp site in the middle of
the jungle. Chances for rain are very high, after all, we are in the deepest rainforest. Thus, good
preparation and planning at Suanggama are very important. Ascent: 970 m/ descent: 660 m; distance:
15.50 km; hiking time: 6-8 hrs.
 5
Day 5 > Salt Factory camp (2380m)–Indisaga camp (3230m)
This will be the most strenuous of all our trekking days! Our path still leads through the rainforest,
sometimes over, sometimes under the large rootes, around mud parches, then again straight through
the next one – a proper jungle! Swinging through it on vines might be less exhausting… After the
Salt Factory camp, our path first ascends steeply, the goes up, down and steeply up again, until we
reach a small camp (Blind’s camp). Though it may seem as if the Indisaga camp were closeby as
well, that’s sadly not true! We’ll be climbing through the steep rainforest for another 2-3 hours. At
3200m, just shortly before our camp, the rainforest suddenly ends. A large clearing follows, which is
where we’ll set up our camp. Ascent: 1115 m/ descent: 275 m; distance: 17.00 km; hiking time: 8-10
hrs.

6
Day 6 > Indisaga camp (3230m)–Ebay camp (3584 m)
The first hour of our trek will lead through light, open forest to the next plane and finally up to the
ridge, which separates the first valley from “our” valley, where part of our route will lead through.
Following the ridge for 2-3 hours, we’ll reach our penultimate camp after a short descent. Ascent:
760m/ descent: 420m; distance: 11.01km; hiking time: 6-7 hrs.

7
Day 7 > Ebay camp (3584m)–Nasidome (3734m)
We’ll descend into the beautiful valley. The wild landscape here will take us back millions of years,
to a time when ancient beasts roamed the vast forests… Reaching the riverbank, we’ll cross the river
on a natural stone bridge. On top of the next ridge, we’ll meet up with the other route option (via
Illaga). We’ll wade through swampland and shortly reach the last camp before base camp and the
New Zealand pass. Ascent: 780m/ descent: 630m; distance: 13.00km; hiking time: 6-7 hrs.

8
Day 8 > Nasidome (3734m)–New Zealand pass–Base Camp
(4273m)
The most difficult part of this section is the New Zealand pass (you could use the plural form here,
since it is actually several passes following each other). There’s a 50 metre long climbing passage
which may be quite difficult on a rainy day. Once we’ll have mastered it, we’ll descend to the base
camp at the foot of the Carstensz Pyramid. Ascent: 920m/ descent: 350m; distance: 8.64km; hiking
time: 6-7 hrs.

9
Day 9 > Ascent of the Carstensz Pyramid (4884m)
Early morning after breakfast (approximately 02.00 am) start to wall carstensz pyramid, and let’s
dance on carstensz wall. The climbing track has been fixed ropes from bottom to the top, you just put
the jummer tool and push the jummer to add step up.
You will pass the bridge cable (previously tyrolian). Arriving at the top is usually at 9 or 10 am
(please enjoy the natural scenery from the top of carstensz pyramid and do not forget to capture
yourself).

10-13
Day 13-14 > Hike back from base camp–Illaga or Supaga
We will take the same way as on the walk in. Knowing it already, we should be quicker on the
journey back so that we can save one day.

14
Day 14 > Flight Illaga or Sugapa–Nabire or Timika–Denpasar
Today, we’ll fly via Timika back to Bali. We’ll be brought to our hotel, where we can relax, drinking
a toast to our hard but wonderful travel. Overnight stay at a hotel.

15
Day 15 > Flight back
We’ll enjoy a few last hours in Bali in the morning before leaving for the airport in the late
afternoon.

16-17
Day 16-17- Reserve day for bad weather or delayed flight etc.

ARSTENSZS IS AMAZING ADVENTURE

OF THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN SUMMIT PROJECT

Mt. Carstensz Pyramid

4884 m, West Papua
INTRODUCTION

Carstensz Pyramid or Mt. Newang Kawi (local name mountain) is the highest mountain in Australia
and Oceania and it's an amazing mountain magnificent of the famous Seven summits project (7
summits of 7 tallest mountains on 7 continents). Carstensz Pyramid is situated in West Papua. It lies
in New Guinea, which is the world’s second largest island.

Height : 4,884 m (16023 ft)

Locality : West Papua, Indonesia
Coordinates : S 04°04.733 - E 137°09.572
It was visited by many ascents, mainly by those collecting the Seven Summits. In 1992, Budi
Cahyono and Adi Seno (Indonesia Climbers) have successfully opened up new climbing route at
North Face Cartstensz Pyramid (directly to the top which was later known as Norman Edwin
Road). Budi Cahyono have successfully guided international teams to the top of the mountain.

The Carstensz glacier has retreated 1,446 feet in the last twenty-five years. The Meren glacier
retreated even further (2,384 feet). Yet the melting of these giant ice tongues have “ birth” to those
beautiful turquoise colored lakes Morrow admired so much. Furthermore, it is the spring of life for
many species in the jungle below.

The name Carstensz Mountain is actually not quite appropriate. In fact The Carstensz Pyramid is a
part of Sudirman Range same with Nggapulu Peak (4,862 meter), the Sunday or Sudirman Peak
(4,870 meter) and the East Carstensz Top (4,775 meter). There are other peaks in the region, all
above 4,600 meter, which form the Jayawijaya range. Jan Cartensz, The Dutch sailor, has seen both
ranges and he had discovered the middle peaks of third largest island in the world.

 Training for climb Carstensz
PREPARATION FOR CARSTENSZ PYRAMID CLIMB

Climbing Carstensz Pyramid, the highest peak in Oceania (16,023ft / 4,884 m), requires
familiarity with scrambling and rock climbing skills (including rappelling and jumaring) and
comfort with exposure on routes up to 5.8. In addition to climbing skills, you need strength
endurance and strong cardiovascular conditioning. Just because you exercise regularly (four to
six times per week) does not mean you have the conditioning needed to reach the summit of
the Carstensz Pyramid. Plenty of people who have the endurance to run a marathon fail to
summit high-altitude peaks. Pure cardiovascular fitness is simply not enough. This trip requires
stamina necessary to trek 4-5 successive days each way to reach the launching point for a
summit climb. You should build conditioning necessary to ascend two to three,000 feet of
elevation on successive days carrying up to 40 pounds.
Prioritize your training efforts in the following way, assuming that you are in good health and
injury- free:

1. Climbing conditioning – pack-loaded uphill hiking, walking, and stair climbing

2. Strength training for the lower body and core
3. Cardiovascular training, including both aerobic and anaerobic workouts without pack weight
4. Flexibility training

Most people will need to train specifically for their climb of the Carstensz Pyramid for at least
three to four months. During your training, you will need to progressively ramp up your hike
time, distance and elevation gain (at roughly 10% per week) to safely and effectively build your
trekking-specific conditioning. Trying to rush this will increase the risk of experiencing some
sort of training injury and not being ready for your trip. Below are more details of how to
incorporate these four priorities into your program.
CLIMBING CONDITIONING
Hike along outdoor trails, gradually increasing your pack weight until you are comfortable
carrying a 40-pound pack. If you live where it is relatively flat, go up and down stairs or train
on an inclined treadmill or stairmaster. Use whatever varied surface terrain (i.e. gravel beds,
sand dunes, river banks) you have access to. A reasonable goal would be to ascend 3,000 feet
carrying an average pack of 40 pounds in a 3 hour period, or roughly 1,500 vertical feet per
hour. A good training option for pack weight is to carry water in gallon containers or collapsible
jugs, so you can dump water at the top as needed, to lighten the load for the descent.

In early season, start with a hike that gains up to 2000 elevation over 5-7 miles round trip, and
carry a 20-pound pack; each hike try adding three to five pounds until you are comfortable with
a 40-pound pack, then begin increasing the total elevation gain and mileage. When you can
gain 3,000 feet with a 40-pound pack, start decreasing rest breaks and increasing speed on
each conditioning workout. A month from your climb, you should be comfortable hiking on
successive days with a 40-pound pack on one of those outings.

Two training techniques that will be useful for high-altitude trekking are 1) interval training and
2) back to back training (discussed in more detail in “Putting it all together” below.) To include
interval training, find a steep hill or sets of stairs that will allow you to climb steadily for several
minutes. Push as hard as you can going up, then recover coming down, and repeat for
anywhere from 20-45 minutes depending on how close to your climb you are. Gradually add
weight to your pack (no more than 10% per week) until you can carry 40 pounds the entire time.

If possible, participate in as many hikes at altitude as you possibly can to learn how your body
reacts above 13,000 feet elevation. If you have access to a climbing gym, try to include 1-2
weekly climbing sessions working on building strength and endurance in your core, forearms,
calves and legs.

FLEXIBILITY CONDITIONING
Be sure to include at least 5-10 minutes of targeted stretching following every workout,
specifically for the hamstrings, glutes, hips, calves, forearms, lower back and quadriceps. If you
have any areas of concern early season, add emphasis to making sure you have normal range of
motion about all your joints. This will become even more important as you add weight and
distance to your conditioners.
STRENGTH CONDITIONING
Training with free weights, bands, a backpack, bodyweight exercises, or gym machines will help
you build overall strength, particularly in the core (lower back and abdominals), upper back and
shoulders, and legs. Developing strength in your upper back and shoulders will help you with
such tasks as carrying your pack and climbing rock. The calves, fingers and forearms are all
heavily involved in vertical ascending, and hip, core and quad strength endurance is required
for descents.

Training primarily with free weights will give you the functional, trekking-specific strength that
will help you most in the mountains. Free weight-training requires that you balance the weights
as you would your own body, weighted with a pack, in three-dimensional space. When starting
any strength conditioning program, complete two full-body strength workouts a week for 30-
45 minutes each, focusing on compound exercises such as squats, lunges, step-ups, dips,
pull-ups, rows, dead lifts, bench presses, pushups, and overhead presses. A well-designed gym
climbing program can replace one of these suggested workouts weekly.

In the beginning phase of strength conditioning, focus on building a foundation for harder
workouts; to that end, keep the weight light enough to concentrate on good form and complete
2 sets of each exercise for 8-10 repetitions. As you continue to train, you will shift focus to
 building strength (generally lower reps 5-8 with heavier weight). four to six weeks before your
climb, shift your training to focus on strength endurance (higher reps 10-15 with light weight)
to turn the newly gained strength into greater strength endurance. Each training phase should
vary the weight used, repetitions completed, number of sets, and rest intervals. Regardless of
training phase, always be sure you maintain proper form in order to prevent injury or strain.

CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING
Include spinal-loading aerobic training options three to five times a week. Appropriate options
include trail running, walking on an inclined treadmill, doing stair stepping or step mill training,
jogging, working on an elliptical machine, walking up and down hills, or participating in step
aerobic classes. While biking, rowing and swimming are aerobic options for the earliest stages
of training, be sure as you get closer to your trip that you include activities suggested above
that load the spine and legs the same way that trekking will.

When first beginning a cardiovascular training program, begin with three weekly workouts of 30
minutes of sustained activity at a moderate intensity, and build to 4-5 aerobic sessions of
sustained effort for at least 45-60 minutes. Be sure to include a 5-10 minute gentle warm-up
before working at your target heart rate for the day (for most workouts, choose a level of
exertion that allows you to connect a few words together in a phrase, but leaves you feeling
comfortably tired at the end of the workout), and cool down with 5-10 minutes of appropriate
stretching of the muscles you use most in your activity, including lower back, calves,
hamstrings, hips and quadriceps.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Roughly a month before your climb, you should be at the conditioning level where you are
comfortable hiking on consecutive weekend days, what is referred to as Back-to-Back training.
This involves hiking with your target climb pack weight (40 pounds) on the first day for at least
3,500 gain, and a somewhat lighter pack (30 pounds) for greater mileage on the second day to
simulate your approach and summit days of your trip. This will not only be helpful physically
but also prepare you psychologically for the challenge of repeat high-effort days without any
recovery days in between. A sample week of training a month prior to your climb might look
like the chart below, in an effort to help you build as much stamina as possible. Be sure to
include at least one recovery day per week and listen closely to your body. Take the final week
to taper or gradually reduce intensity and volume of training so that by the time you leave for
your trip you are well rested and physically and psychologically up to the challenge.

Puncak Jaya Wijaya

Puncak Jaya Wijaya atau yang lebih dikenal dengan Piramida Carstensz,
begitulah para pendaki dari seluruh dunia menyebutnya. Memiliki ketinggian
4.844 diatas laut dan memiliki salju abadi menjadikan Puncak Jaya Wijaya
menjadi salah satu destinasi dan tantangan bagi para pendaki seluruh dunia
untuk mencoba menaklukannya. Fakta uniknya Puncak Jaya Wijaya yang
berada di Indonesia merupakan wilayah yang di lewati garis khatulistiwa, yang
berarti mempunyai musim tropis dan tidak memungkinkan adanya salju. Tapi
itulah salah satu keajaiban dan keatraktifan Puncak Jaya Wijaya, salah satu
dari 7 gunung tertinggin di dunia.

Puncak Jaya Wijaya atau Piramida Carstensz terletak di Papua, Indonesia.

Nama Cartenz sendiri diambil dari seorang penjelajah Belanda yang melihat
fenomena aneh di sepanjang garis khatulistiwa yang tidak mungkin terjadi,
yaitu turunnya es alami. Jan Carstensz, pada tahun 1623, melihat gunung
yang begitu unik di daerah tropis nusantara, gunung yang tertutup salju dan
langsung saja menamainnya dengan nama belakangnya. Namun seiring
berkembangnya jaman, banyak penjelajah yang menemukan gletser – gletser
lain atau penuruan salju es di daerah tropis yang membuat anggapan bahwa
daerah yang dilewati garis khatulistiwa tidak turun salju dapat terbantahkan.
Adapun lokasi turunnya salju abadi tersebut adalah di Glacier Meren dan
Puncak Trikora yang terekspos antara tahun 1939, 1962 dan 1994 hingga
tahun 2000.

Begitu mendengar 7 gunung tertinggi, para pendaki mana yang tidak

tertantang untuk menaklukannya. Menjerit sekeras – kerasnya di puncak
tertinggi, merasakan kemenangan karena telah berhasil menaklukan salah
satu gunung tertinggi dengan usahannya sendiri. Terlebih di Puncak Jaya
Wijaya medannya sangat sulit, dibutuhkan teknik khusus untuk berhasil
menaklukan gunung ini dan hanya pendaki – pendaki profesional saja yang
diizinkan untuk mendaki Gunung Jaya Wijaya. Karena puncak tertinggi antara
Himalaya dan Andes ini memiliki tiga titik pendakian tersulit dari lima titik
pendakian.

Orang pertama yang menaklukan Puncak Jaya Wijaya adalah Heinrich

Harrer, bersama tiga temannya Huizinga, Kippax dan Temple. Heinrich Harrer
memutuskan untuk menaklukan Puncak Jaya Wijaya setelah kembali dari
tibet tahun 1950, dia kembali dari tibet setelah 12 tahun mengeskplorasi
daerah tersebut dan berhasil membuat maha karya yaitu sebuah buku yang
sangat terkenal berjudul “7 Tahun di Tibet”. Pada tahun 1962 Heinrich Harrer
melakukan perjalanannya ke Papua, Indonesia dan berhasil untuk pertama
kalinya menjadi penakluk Puncak Jaya Wijaya.

Mendaki Gunung yang menakjubkan satu ini memang membutuhkan biaya

yang tidak sedikit. Jadi untuk anda yang berniat mendaki gunung ini maka
disarankan dari sekarang untuk menabung uang agar perjalanan anda kesini
menjadi lancar. Rincian biaya mendaki ke Puncak Jaya Wijaya untuk turis
mancanegara sekira USD 10 ribu sampai USD 11 ribu. Sementara itu, untuk
wisatawan domestik biayanya mulai Rp 30 juta, tergantung dari paket yang
anda minati.

Latihan Fisik dan Mental

Mendaki Gunung Jaya Wijaya bukanlah perkara mudah. Medan yang berat
membuat tubuh seringkali ingin menyerah dengan sendirinya. Jika sudah
begitu biasanya tanpa sadar kita akan terserah penyakit yang biasa diderita
para pendaki, yaitu Hypothermia. Terlebih jika anda sudah melewati
ketinggian 4000 mdpl di Gunung Jaya Wijaya, tubuh akan sangat drop,
karena dari situlah dimulai turunnya salju es yang menyelimuti Puncak Jaya
Wijaya selama bertahun – tahun lamanya. Jadi jika anda yang tertantang
untuk menaklukan atau sekedar melihat keajaiban dari Gunung Jaya Wijaya
maka cobalah untuk memulai latihan fisik dan mental atau kalau perlu
menyewa trainer yang berpengalaman.

Surat Izin Mendaki (SIMAKSI)

Sulitnya perizinan untuk mendaki Puncak Jaya Wijaya ini kerap memunculkan
ungkapan satir: ”lebih sulit mengurus izinnya daripada mendaki gunungnya”.
Begitu banyak persyaratan dan surat izin yang harus dilampirkan membuat
geram para pendaki, yang tidak jarang membuat para pendaki membatalkan
niat mereka untuk mendaki Puncak Jaya Wijaya. Jadi jika anda yang ingin
mendaki Puncak Jaya Wijaya harus bersabar dalam mengurus surat izinnya.

Alternatif lain jika anda mempunya budget lebih dan tidak sabar untuk
mengurus surat izin sendiri, yaitu dengan menyewa operator. Sehingga anda
hanya tinggal menunggu dan biar semua izin diurus oleh operator, karena
mereka sudah berpengalaman dan mempunyai banyak koneksi maka
pengurusan surat izin ini menjadi mudah dan cepat. Salah satu operator yang
biasa menangani pendakian ke Gunung Jaya Wijaya adalah Adventure
Indonesia, Indonesia Trekking dan Rakata Adventure. Paket yang ditawarkan
cukup beragam dan biasanya mendapatkan fasilitas berupa tenda, makanan,
porter, transportasi, pemandu, kemanan, serta bermalam di homestay setelah
pendakian.

Mempersiapkan Alat – Alat Mendaki Gunung Es

Alat – Alat mendaki ibarat hidup seorang pendaki, jika alatnya hilang atau
tidak lengkap maka kemungkinan para pendaki untuk bertahan di alam yang
keras menjadi tipis. Jadi disarankan untuk mempersiapkan peralatan mendaki
yang lengkap dan baik, agar tidak terjadi kerusakan saat mendaki. Dan harus
diperhatikan juga bahwa alat – alat mendaki gunung es berbeda dengan alat
– alat mendaki gunung biasa, jadi cari tahu alat pendakian apa yang bagus
dan cocok untuk pendakian gunung es dan persiapkan diri anda secara
matang. Biasanya toko outdoor yang besar menyiapkan semua kebutuhan
peralatan tersebut atau jika anda tidak ingin repot, anda bisa menyewa jasa
operator untuk menyiapkan semua kebutuhan alat anda.

Jalur Pendakian

Memilih jalur pendakian adalah syarat utama keberhasilan seorang pendaki,

karena tidak bisa dipungkiri kalau berbeda jalur pendakian maka berbeda pula
kesulitan yang akan ditempuh. Ada beberapa jalur pendakian menuju Puncak
Jaya Wijaya, namun saat ini jalur pendakian yang paling ideal dan sering
dilewati para pendaki adalah melalui Sugapa kemudian Ugimba dan terakhir
Puncak jaya Wijaya. Selain menjadi jalur yang paling aman, jalur Sugapa juga
menyimpan banyak panorama yang menarik untuk dilihat. Contohnya seperti
Sungai Kemabu yang memiliki wisata arung jeram, Sungai Nabu dengan
aliran terbalik ke arah Gunung Jaya Wijaya. Bahkan ada sungai yang memiliki
bau harum serta menjadi sumber garam di atas gunung. Ada pula air terjun
dan padang golf di Putigapa.

Apa saja transportasi menuju Puncak Jaya Wijaya?

Biasanya para pendaki yang ingin mendaki Puncak Jaya Wijaya

menggunakan jasa operator yang khusus melayani pendakian ke Puncak
Jaya Wijaya. Karena perjalanan dengan operator atau pemandu profesional
lebih aman dan sangat dianjurkan

Nabire adalah kota yang paling dekat dengan jalur pendakian, jadi biasanya
para pendaki berkumpul dulu di Bali kemudian terbang ke Timika, Papua dan
terakhir Nabire.
Jika anda dari Jakarta atau Denpasar, anda bisa menggunakan maskapai
Garuda Indonesia, Kartika, dan Merpati yang memiliki penerbangan ke
Papua. Biasanya, mereka transit di Makassar sebelum ke Sorong, Timika,
atau Biak, dan sampai di Jayapura.
