Carstenz Pyramid
In April 2009, Omar climbed the highest mountain in Australasia (Indonesia) Carstenz Pyramid. To get to the mountain, Omar and team had to trek days through dense jungle and swamps and then do exactly the same on the way back. The trip was plagued from the start with conflicts between the different tribes that made up the porter team. In many cases the team was sent back to their camp with spear wielding locals. The customs of West Papua are a tricky business.

Famous quotes containing the word pyramid:
“So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
