Hi Scott, As my YouTube video in the links section shows, I climbed to the summit ridge to an altitude of 4,639m during a solo expedition to the New Guinea highlands (see 19m 49s on the video). I also attempted to climb Puncak Mandala but was denied access by local tribal elders. The next year, I returned to Papua province and climbed Carstensz Pyramid. It's a work in progress but I'm pretty busy as I work for the Red Cross in Haiti and my internet connection is pretty slow so uploading photos is time-consuming, for example.
Thanks. For the time being I've added a link to my expediton facebook page gallery for this mountain to the 'links' section. You can also find those photos here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.476888983683.265649.275168878683&type=3

Re: Summit ridgeAwesome! Thanks for clarifying things.
I wish you the best of luck. I can't wait to see more photos. New Guinea is sort of a dream destination for me.
