On the Summit!!!!

Bill just called from the summit of Carstensz Pyramid!

He reports that all the climbers made it to the top by 8:30 in the morning. It was a cloudy day, but so far it has not rained on the group. There was a fair amount of snow on the route, which made the fixed lines pretty tricky to negotiate.

They will descend in a few minutes and probably head back to Timika this afternoon.

A hearty congratulations to all the climbers on gaining the top of this most elusive of the 7 Summits!
