About Peaks Podcast, the exploration of climbing the highest peaks in each of our seven continents.
Peaks Podcast is A detailed description of the adventure climbing the 7 summits of the world that's the highest peak on each of the 7 continents of our planet Earth:) Denali, Vinson, Carstensz, Elbrus, Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro and Everest. Also included our training climbs around the world in preparation for each of the big peaks. Both family friends and long time climbing buddies are featured throughout the years this podcast spans.
Wow...it's great when a plan comes together:) Years and years of planning and preparation are now coming to the final challenge. It's wet and cold, the armed guards are watching area with their manned look out stations and drone surveillance. On summit day I am awaken by the sound of rain hitting the tents surface several hours before departure. This is truly a climb like I have never dreamed of and no research could fully prepare me for. PLEASE enjoy this unique adventure.

Season 6 episode 75
One of the most dangerous and exciting mountains I've ever been on. What makes this once in a lifetime experience is Papua New Guinea is definitely one of the most remote places in the world. There are dozens if not hundreds of individual tribes that still practice head hunting in these jungles surrounding Carstens. Combine the Primitive natives with a hostile political environment because of mining in the remote areas of this country and you have a recipe for disaster. We have armed guards we have a mountain that's been closed for years we have a mountain with old ropes, what else could you ask for in a high mountain Adventure. All I can say is I'm glad with the number one concessionaire here in Indonesia that is Indonesian expeditions. Combine all this with one of the highest peaks in the world and you have a real live seven Summit Adventure.
Carstensz Pyramid (locally known as Puncak Jaya) is the highest summit of Mount Carstensz in the Sudirman Range of the western central highlands of Papua Province, Indonesia.
It is best known as one of the Seven Summits (the highest peak on each continent), representing the Oceania/Australasia continent.

This it's definitely one of my favorite podcasts because it was one of my more difficult climbs. It was only one full day but 5 years in the making.
