Description

Mount Ialibu is a volcanic mountain in Papua New Guinea’s Southern Highlands. BMR geological report 1970/79 describes a Pleistocene volcano with strongly dissected summit and northern slopes; its table gives 3,465 m, also used by World Ribus. This elevation is not a Wikidata value: Q34881762 confirms the identity, country and coordinates but has no P2044 claim. PeakVisor lists 3,148 m at a different point; the mapped Wikidata coordinates also differ from the World Ribus summit location and should not be used for summit navigation. During a 2018 journey, Gerardo Lloret climbed from Kero village with community consent and local companions. His account describes steep wet ground and a final climbing section; it does not support calling the whole ascent non-technical. PNG Air also lists tracks around Mount Ialibu among Southern Highlands activities; its page does not establish a specific summit route.
