Carstensz Pyramid, Indonesia's highest peak located in the Jayawijaya Mountains, always offers unique stories along each of its trails. One of the most iconic parts for climbers is the Tyrolean Traverse, a path across a ravine supported only by steel cables stretched between cliffs.

Now, with improvements in safety systems and crossing methods, the Tyrolean Traverse experience is slightly different. Climbers can walk on the cable with better safety equipment harnesses, carabiners, and lanyards that attach the body to the main cable. This method not only makes the journey more efficient but also provides an opportunity to enjoy the panoramic view of the Jayawijaya Mountains from an unmatched angle.

Although safer than the old method, the Tyrolean Traverse still requires focus and courage. Every step on the rope is a combination of technique, balance, and confidence. The strong cold wind and towering cliffs on the right and left make this moment feel so special.

For many climbers, crossing the Tyrolean Traverse is one of the highlights of climbing Carstensz Pyramid. It is not just a way to cross the ravine, it is a symbol of courage, innovation, and the spirit to continue conquering challenges in a wiser way.
