Carstensz Pyramid is a technical route meaning that climbers should know basic skills including rappelling, fixed rope ascension, basic knots and be comfortable moving on moderate rock terrain. Most climbs are accomplished with helicopter to and from base camp, making it a relatively short climbing portion. The summit day is one long climb and you return to base camp. We would recommend having climbed Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, and have taken a basic rock course for skills.
The best time to climb: October and March though the mountain can be climbed year round, there are some months that have much more precipitation.
