Carstensz Pyramid 4884 M (16,023) FT)
Carstensz Pyramid is the highest peak in Oceania. Located High in the Indonesia. In Planning for Sometime Soon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puncak_Jaya Carstensz Pyramid is one of the more demanding climbs in one version of the seven summits list. (It is replaced by Mount Kosciuszko) It is held to have the highest technical rating, though not the greatest physical demands of that list's ascents. The standard route is up the north face and along the summit ridge, which is all hard rock surface. Despite the large mine, the area is highly inaccessible to hikers and the general public, requiring a 100-km hike from the nearest town with an airport, Timika, to the base camp, which usually takes about four or five days each way.
