About the Author: Carol Masheter
Carol Masheter, Ph.D., has been a research chemist, university professor in human development and relationships, and epidemiologist in public health. In spite of fear of heights, stage fright, and writers block, she is now a mountaineer, motivational speaker, and author. In 2013, at age 66 ¾ years, she became the oldest woman in the world to summit the highest peak in each continent plus Carstensz Pyramid in Papua and Mont Blanc in the Alps. Dr. Masheter lives in Salt Lake City and enjoys mountain sports, yoga, writing, and sharing lessons learned in the mountains about living life to the fullest.
Few people have heard of Carstensz Pyramid, a sharp fin of limestone 16,000 feet above sea level, surrounded by mountainous jungle in Papua, a part of the world wracked by political and tribal violence, where kidnappings of climbers still occur. Why bother to climb such a troublesome, little-known peak? This book describes Carol Masheter's decision to climb Carstensz Pyramid at age 65, how she prepared for and experienced the strenuous hike through the jungle, the steep climb up a limestone wall of 2,000 feet, the hand-over-hand Tyrolean traverse, the challenges, joys, and lessons learned on the "other side of nowhere."
