Jakarta: Four brothers from Nepal have successfully summited Indonesia’s Carstensz Pyramid, the highest peak in Australia and Oceania. According to Seven Summit Treks, the group reached the summit at 1:50 PM on Monday. Carstensz Pyramid is the seventh and final peak in the renowned Seven Summits challenge, which includes the highest mountains on each of the seven continents.
The four brothers—Mingma Sherpa, Chairman of Seven Summit Treks, Chhang Dawa Sherpa, Expedition Manager, Tashi Lakpa Sherpa, Managing Director, and Pasang Furba Sherpa, Executive Director—achieved this remarkable feat as a family.
Mingma Sherpa and Chhang Dawa Sherpa have already climbed all 14 peaks over 8,000 meters worldwide, a feat few mountaineers can claim. Mingma Sherpa holds the distinction of being the first South Asian to summit all 14 of these 8,000-meter peaks. Chhang Dawa Sherpa has also set a record as the first pair of brothers to accomplish this same challenge.
Tashi Lakpa Sherpa, known for being the youngest climber to summit Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, completed his Seven Summits journey with this Carstensz Pyramid climb. He has also successfully reached the South Pole.
Pasang Furba Sherpa has now completed four of the Seven Summits, including Everest, Mount Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, and Carstensz Pyramid.
Their successful summit of Carstensz Pyramid marks a major achievement in mountaineering history, adding to the family’s impressive list of accomplishments.
