Carstensz Team Last Chance Back in Bali

 

Hello Everyone,

After days of waiting on good weather to fly into Basecamp things happened pretty fast the last couple of days. We flew into Basecamp on the 18th, climbed on the 19th, and flew back to Timika and then on to Bali on the 20th. Tonight we had our celebratory dinner on the beach with a beautiful sunset and meal to wrap up this great adventure! Thanks for following along, it is an amazing climb and always a fun adventure on Carstensz Pyramid!

In the next several days the team will all be heading home.

Until next time…

Ben
