CARSTENSZ PYRAMID
Carstensz Pyramid — known locally as Puncak Jaya — is the highest peak in Oceania and the most technically demanding of the Seven Summits. Rising above the equatorial glaciers of Papua, Indonesia.
It is the only mountain in the list located in the tropics. Unlike the other Seven Summits, Carstensz demands genuine rock-climbing expertise. Its exposed ridgeline, vertical limestone faces, and unpredictable equatorial weather make it a rare objective for elite alpinists worldwide.
