Freeport foils plan to climb Cartensz (Puncak Jaya)

All the big talk of Dr. Weiglein, his dubious "clean up Carstensz program", his contacts with the Governor of Papua and senior officials in Jakarta seems to have come to nought. Wonder how he will report this and how his standing and credibility as a tour organiser in the Puncak Jaya (7 Summits) climbing community will be.

One wonders how his building of the shelter will now preceed? Keeping in mind Dr Weiglein will hold the single control of this shelter and who gets to stay there and at what costs?

It's Indonesia after all! I was wondering if Freeport will ever open their access road to regular trips - to much turmoil, enviromental issues ec. Now people are getting crazy about the "seven summits" willing to pay a huge amount of money to achieve their ultimate goal.
