Sumantri (also spelled ''Soemantri'' or ''Soemantri Brodjonegoro''〔(Gunung-gunung Indonesia )〕〔SummitPost.org: (Sumantri - Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering )〕) is a sharp mountain in the western Sudirman Range (New Guinea), it rises . The peak is approximately 2 km northeast of Carstensz Pyramid (4,884 m), the highest mountain of Oceania. The north side of Sumantri is dominated by tremendous cliffs, part of the ''Noordwand'' (North wall) of the Carstensz Massif, that wrap around onto both the eastern and western sides of the mountain. Remnants of the once mighty North Wall Firn still cling tenuously to the southern aspects of the peak. It is unlikely that this ice will last for more than the next fifteen years.〔 ==Name== Before 1973 the summit was known as the NW summit of Ngga Pulu. The 1936 Carstensz Expedition also called it the "Second Peak of the North Wall".〔Jean Jacques Dozy (2002) (Vom höchsten Gipfel bis in die tiefste Grube. Entdeckung und Erschliessung der Gold - und Kupfererz - Lagerstätten von Irian Jaya, Indonesien ), Bull. angew. Geol. 7, pp 67-80.〕 Heinrich Harrer labeled it Ngapalu on (his map drawn in 1962 ), while calling the SE Peak of Ngga Pulu ''Sunday Peak''. Describing his ascent of both peaks in 1972, Dick Isherwood followed this nomenclature, using Ngga Poloe for what is now Sumantri and Sunday Peak for what is now known as Ngga Pulu.〔R.J. Isherwood, (The Dugundugoo ), The Alpine Journal 1973, pp 188-194.〕 The Indonesian government renamed the NW summit after professor , Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia, after he had died in office in 1973 at the age of 47. == Climbing History == The neighboring and at the time higher SE summit of Ngga Pulu was first climbed by a Dutch expedition in 1936 (Anton Colijn, Jean Jacques Dozy and Frits Wissel)〔 The NW summit was first climbed in February 1962 by Heinrich Harrer, Philip Temple, Russel Kippax and Bert Huizenga after their first ascent of Carstensz Pyramid. The 600 m high north cliff was first climbed by Reinhold Messner in a solo effort on 27 September 1971, after he had second-ascended the Carstensz Pyramid with his client Sergio Bigarella earlier in the week.〔Reinhold Messner, ''Die Freheit aufzubrechen, whoin ich will'', Piper Verlag, Munich, 1989, pp. 189-194.〕 A year later Leo Murray, Jack Baines and Dick Isherwood climbed both peaks of Ngga Pulu and found the peg that Meisner had left behind on top of the North Face of what they called Ngga Poloe (now Sumantri).〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sumantri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
