Leader: Robin Beadle
At 7:20am local time Robin & Rick reached the summit of Carstensz Pyramid. They were the only team to climb it this day, depsite it being the best weather in quite a while. They were back in base camp by 10:30 am. I believe this is the completetion of the 7 summits challenge for Rick.
Today, Rboin & Rick have been taking things easy, while getting adjusted to the altitude, and exploring around base camp.
Robin and Rick have made the relatively short flight from Timika over the gold mine and into Carstensz base camp.
Robin & Rick are making their way to Timka. They will arrive into Western Papua on 11th March, where they will make their final preparations before helicoptering to base camp, providing the weather is clear.
