MOUNT TRIKORA CLIMB
Mount Trikora Expedition
PuncakTrikora
was until 1963, known as Wilhelmina Peak, Puncak meaning Peak. Its exact height
has been of some debate over the years but the accepted height of the summit is
4750m. Perhaps one of the factors in this debate is the fact that it is the
third highest peak on the continent of Oceania, only just behind Puncak Jaya
(4884m) and Puncak mandala (4760m).
The
name Trikora was chosen in 1963 to commemorate a speech by the first president
of Indonesia, Kusno “Sukarno” Sosrodihardjo. The speech is known as the
Trikora, Tri Komando Rakyat, or “People’s Triple Command”.
The
local Dani people who live near Lake Habbema at the foot of the mountain call
it Ettiakup.
Trikora sits in the Maoke/Jayawijaya Range which forms part of the mountainous
the spine of New Guinea, running East-West across the island.
Despite
being in the tropics the peak does occasionally receive a blanket of snow on
the summit. At the time of its first recorded ascent in 1913 the upper regions
still hosted a permanent ice cap. From around 1936 the ice cap was observed to
be in retreat and around 1962 it had disappeared altogether.
