Mt. Wilhelm in late December


Gavin and Isaac took an epic trek up Mt. Wilhelm, the tallest mountain in PNG. It's over 14,000 ft. so it's also the coldest part of PNG by far! It can get below freezing at night.

The lake at base camp. It's a grueling hike up there, taking around 4 hours.

You can see part of a landslide that has been mostly cleared behind Isaac. Rainy season + dirt roads on steep mountains = landslides!

A helpful crowd towing a car through an exceptionally muddy area. (This is not the main highway in PNG, but rather a bush road going up to the mountain, so certain extreme conditions are expected! The people were lovely.)
