The most interesting expedition of the year, to Ñarstensz, begins today. Follow the news from New Guinea
Lyudmila Korobeshko, expedition guide and company director of the 7 Summits Club: Today, Monday, March 13, the expedition of the 7 Summits Club to Pyramid Carstensz begins. This is the most mysterious and hard-to-reach mountain from the 7 Summits project.
This morning the main part of the team and most of the expeditionary cargo depart from Geneva. In the plane there will also be a legend of world basejumping and baseclimbing Valery Rozov.
I personally already have halfway to the goal of our trip - the island of Papua New Guinea - specifically, I am in Hong Kong.
And one more participant of our expedition and a part-time star of world mountaineering, a man who made no oxygen climb on all 14 eight-thousanders - Maksut Zhumayev - is already waiting for us on that island, in the town of Timika, where he arrived this morning.
The next day we all should meet in Timika and go straight to the foot of the Pyramid of Carstensz. We'll see how it goes. Follow our news!
