Mount Suckling or Goropi,[2] is the highest peak of the Goropu Mountains, part of the Owen Stanley Range in south-eastern Papua New Guinea.
Situated on a relatively narrow peninsula, it lies only about 60 km (40 mi) from the sea to both the north-east (in the direction of Collingwood Bay) and the south.
[5] Norman Cruttwell initiated an expedition to the peak, which eventually reached the summit after several unsuccessful attempts.
They found the peak "so inaccessible that [they] had to be dropped by helicopter into a gorge at 1500m and find [their] way to the top."
They climbed via the south spur of the mountain, named "Goe Dendeniwa"; the second word means "red" and refers to the uniformly red color of the rocks and vegetation on the spur.
