One of the most dangerous and exciting mountains I've ever been on. What makes this once in a lifetime experience is Papua New Guinea is definitely one of the most remote places in the world. There are dozens if not hundreds of individual tribes that still practice head hunting in these jungles surrounding Carstens. Combine the Primitive natives with a hostile political environment because of mini...

This it's definitely one of my favorite podcasts because it was one of my more difficult climbs. It was only one full day but 5 years in the making.

After many years of patiently waiting it looks like I might finally get my opportunity to head to the remote nation of Papua New Guineain in search of The elusive Carstensz Peak.

Our ceremony takes about 45 minutes and is conducted by the local monastery Lama. The chanting ceremonial cymbal and gon...
