Overall an interesting page. More detail and some better lodistics such as flying into and out of the nearest major city. How much are the helecopter rentals. How may people attempt this peak each year. Stuff like that. Do you have more images?
The Heighest Summit of Oceana is the Puncak Jaya of the Maoke mountains range.
The name Carstensz Pyramid was changed on 1968, date of the officially Orange's recognition of the Indonesia Republic (born on 1945). It's not the name of a summit of the Group of Puncak.........
INCORRECT LOCATION:
The Puncak Jaya is sited in the Irian Jaya Indonesian district, on the New Guinea Island. Papua is extremely wrong. Papua-New Guinea is another country, bordering with the first (Indonesia) one but not the same. The Island is called only and simply: "New Guinea", Papua is an error, a country has this name, not an island.
INCORRECT ELEVATION:
Surveys of 1961, 1971 and 1981 tell about 5030 mts. height. A new laser survey on 1999 by ESA and Nasa's sats confirm the elevation in about 5029.838 meters (about 16503 feet).....
Your improvements were much needed, and helped a lot. You have improved this page very much, but I ask that you continue to keep the page up to date. Realizing that news may not happen all the time, I know that this is not always practical, but I only ask that you make an effort to keep this page a page of the highest quality.
Complete page. Maybe it could be a nice idea to make an sketch of the way up on one of the photos of the mountain to complete the 'Normal Route' description?

Untitled CommentHi Andy,
added more photos, maps are hard as they are unreadable at SP's format, I have them in larger format at the 7summits site.
Best regards,

Untitled CommentGreat beginning info, but for a "Seven Summits" peak, it should have more information. Try to expand on the page.

No 5130, no 4800 or other inventions.....
When did that mountain lose 150 meters?
Please correct the errors.
Thank you.
Friendly.
Marco.

Untitled CommentHi Summitmark,
thanks for your vote; I changed a lot on the page recently
The official name of the area has been changed to Papua a few years ago, see the links at the main page. The information therefore is correct.
Please see my explantion at the comments about the height/name issue.
Best regards,
Harry
