Carstensz Pyramid: Team Checks in after Their Hike
Posted by: Alex Van Steen, Mark Tucker | July 01, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Carstensz Pyramid
Today our team completed a 10 hour hike through beautiful marshland. We are getting into an area with limestone masses, passing by caves in the limestone cliffs. Quite spectacular! Today’s hike was the first we’ve had in the rain. But despite the wet conditions, everyone is in high spirits and doing very well.

Alex, Mark and team, Amakane!Mark your blog reminds of a poem my Mom wrote “Oh give me a mountain to climb! Im leaving the jungle trail, the steamy swamps and the lowlands, give me a mountain to scale. I’ve been cut by the jungle grasses, I faint in the tropical heat, to plow through the mire is exhausting the mud has made heavy my feet….” You will soon be wondering at the towering crags above you, gasping at the vast unclimbed faces! Hey that wall of roots is pretty wild, eh? 5.8 climbing in the jungle! Ka noae!

I hope all’s well with everyone and that it continues to be so!
How wonderful to even be in the vicinity of Carstensz!
Alex: Greetings from your New Jersey friends—i.e., Mark and Jim!
Perhaps we’ll see some posted photographs of the climb upon your return?
Blessings on All,
Jim
