<div id="ygrps-yiv-1378690278">it is not easy to pinpoint but the high point of papua<br/>
new guinea & the most prominent internal tripoint of<br/>
that country<br/>
as formed by chimbu & madang & western highlands<br/>
provinces <br/>
aka pg2chmdwh <br/>
is evidently at the peak of mount wilhelm<br/>
whatever that may precisely mean<br/>

below maps <br/>
just wnw of goroka<br/>

<br/>
but just to give you an idea how shifty it is<br/>
this 1963 map shows mt wilhelm as the tripoint of<br/>
eastern highlands with madang & western highlands<br/>
provinces<br/>
or pg2ehmdwh<br/>

a few years before chimbu was carved out of eastern<br/>
highlands & inserted there<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but anyway <br/>
would you guess this best known visitation pic is a<br/>
multiple class a<br/>

or is the true tripoint actually situated on top of<br/>
the marker sign<br/>
& did these folks thus neglect to climb all the way up<br/>
to it<br/>
<br/>
determining & reaching this tripoint looks more<br/>
challenging than just climbing the mountain itself<br/>

<br/>
maybe it would be easy tho if we could just read what<br/>
the sign says<br/>
<br/>
& yikes <br/>
it also just occurred to me<br/>
maybe they werent even trypointers but lost clavers or<br/>
something<br/>
<br/>
