Puncak Trikora

Puncak Trikora is a 15,584-foot-tall mountain in Indonesia's Papua region. It is located in the Sudirman Range. According to some accounts, it is the second-highest peak in New Guinea, however, the Puncak Mandala is higher. Puncak Trikora, like the other high mountains on the island, has lost its ice cover in recent decades. On February 21, 1913, the peak was first summited.

There are numerous fore-summits to conquer before reaching the real summit, and scrambling abilities and a strong constitution are essential; there is some exposure. The main top is not made of solid limestone but rather resembles a plateau with loose boulders. It takes roughly 3 hours to climb the Western ridge from the short chimney that leads to the summit ridge from the grassy Northern side. According to Christian Stangl's GPS readout, the distance is 1,6km as the crow flies on a difficulty rating of 3.
