Thanks for your comments, John. It was an exotic and outstanding trip. I might post more pictures of the approach through stunning kart topography soon.

In terms of the highest mountain of the range, it is a matter of naming and semantics. The peak that is highest has not changed, and has always been the one that climbers know as Carstensz Pyramid. When the Indonesians took over the area, they named this peak Puncak Jaya. However, the locals living in the area give that name to another, shorter and flat topped peak nearby (the leftmost prominent peak in this photo). The locals give a couple different names to Carstensz Pyramid depending on the tribe.

Interestingly, East Carstensz Top (hidden behind the leftmost fern tree) is nearly as high as Sumantri) It has two summits of about equal height now that the glaciers have melted from its summit.

Hi John, A great shot. I've just shown Vic!!! My L&YS. Best wishes, David.

Nice picture.
