Another Successful Carstensz Climb!

Bill called earlier today from the summit of Carstensz Pyramid!

Carstensz expeditions are never easy, and can often be plagued by unecpected challenges that we have little control over. This particular climb was all that and more. We want to really commend our climbers for keeping faith in Bill and in the trip and for being flexible and committed enough to get their opportunities to reach the top. Patience, grit and determination are crucial for any expedition, and these climbers displayed those qualities in exemplary fashion.

Great work, team!!!
