Climbers at the base of the Carstensz PyramidAt 16,024 feet tall, the Carstensz Pyramid is the expedition for climbers excited about ascending technical rock terrain that is unlike any of the other Seven Summits. Rising out of the heart of a jungle and flanked by glaciers, this peak is also the most remote of the Seven Summits and is the highest mountain in Indonesia and on the Australasian continental plate. This expedition offers an experience in a stunning environment that redefines adventure, as well as immersing climbers in the rich culture of Papua New Guinea.
- Location:Papua New Guinea
- Season:February-March, August-October
- Length:11 days
- Cost:$26,900
Mt. Vinson Base CampThe ascent of Mt. Vinson is not a technical one, nor is its altitude, at 16,050 ft (4892m) particularly challenging compared to the other Seven Summits. The peak's location in Antarctica's Sentinel Range, however, is where the challenge, and the reward lies. The Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains is the most remote on the world, and the weather conditions around the massif can be extreme--this is an expedition for those who desire to explore the majestic interior of Antarctica.
- Location:Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica
- Season:November - January
- Length:16 days
- Cost:$52,000
