Sumantri, Mountain summit in Central Papua, Indonesia

Sumantri Peak rises to 4,870 meters with steep limestone cliffs forming the northern wall of the Carstensz Massif in the Sudirman Range.

The peak received its current name in 1973, previously known as the Northwest summit of Ngga Pulu, and was first climbed by Heinrich Harrer's expedition in 1962.

The mountain stands in the traditional lands of Papua's indigenous communities, requiring local permissions and respecting territorial protocols for access.

Climbers need to plan a minimum seven-day expedition from nearby villages, carrying all necessary equipment through varying temperature zones from 37°C to -8°C.

The north face presents a 600-meter vertical climb that Reinhold Messner accomplished solo in 1971, marking a significant achievement in mountaineering history.
