Mark Luscher on the Summit


The clouds were building, so we didn't spend too long on top, but the views were spectacular.

Congratulations to Bill and Mark for reaching the summit of the most elusive of the Seven Summits!

The Welcoming Party in Wamena


We visited a small Dani village on the outskirts of Wamena just before flying in to the mountain. The local elders brought out a mummified ancestor to meet us!
