Описание книги

Few people have heard of Carstensz Pyramid, a sharp fin of limestone 16,000 feet above sea level, surrounded by mountainous jungle in Papua, a part of the world wracked by political and tribal violence, where kidnappings of climbers still occur. Why bother to climb such a troublesome, little-known peak? This book describes Carol Masheter's decision to climb Carstensz Pyramid at age 65, how she prepared for and experienced the strenuous hike through the jungle, the steep climb up a limestone wall of 2,000 feet, the hand-over-hand Tyrolean traverse, the challenges, joys, and lessons learned on the "other side of nowhere."

Отрывок из книги

Many people helped to make this book possible as well as the experiences upon which it is based. I owe them deep gratitude. I would like to acknowledge at least a few of the many.

Thank you, Linda, for your tolerance of my passion for climbing mountains. I am blessed to have a sister like you.

Anna, your patience was awesome during our practice rock climbs. Alex, during our climb, I sometimes felt like a fool, but you never treated me like one. You both are awesome guides.

Thank you, John, for locating the only size small, 50-liter Gregory Alpinisto pack in North America and getting it to me before I left for Papua. The pack performed admirably in challenging conditions. Its bright yellow color made me very visible both in the jungle and during the climb, which the guides appreciated.
