Puncak Trikora, Mountain summit in Papua, Indonesia

Puncak Trikora rises to 4,750 meters within the Sudirman Range of the Maoke Mountains, featuring steep limestone cliffs and exposed ridge sections.

The first successful climb to the summit occurred in 1913 during the Third South New Guinea Expedition led by Alphons Franssen Herderschee.

The Dani people near Lake Habbema refer to the mountain as Ettiakup, considering it a significant element of their natural environment.

The ascent requires a two-day trek to Semalak Cave base camp, followed by an 8-12 hour climb through technical rocky sections.

The mountain's ice cap, present in the early 1900s, completely disappeared between 1936 and 1962, marking substantial climate changes in the region.
