We have another Tales from the Trails for you this week! This time, Kenton travels to West Papua to climb Carstensz Pyramid with 'the twins' who are ticking off their 'seventh summit' on this expedition.
Travel to and from Indonesia is severely impacted by the war in Iran and this adds a variety of challenges to the trip. However, they are all surmountable and the trio make it to base camp with only one major drama. Carstensz Pyramid is the lowest of the seven summits at 4,884m and the climb to the top can be done in one push from base camp, but is heavily reliant on good weather.
Kenton takes us up the mountain with them, describing the equipment, the route, the weather and the views.
Listen now for a taste of a mountaineering expedition, narrated in real time.
