  • 476 the AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL Glaciers That Our Access Was Finally Made Through the Mountain Rampart
    476 THE AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL glaciers that our access was finally made through the mountain rampart. One group operated there and climbed some of the high-grade towers by stylish and demanding routes, while the other group climbed from a hid- den loch, ringed by attractive peaks, north of the valley and intermingled with the mountains visited by the 1971 St. Andrews expedition (A.A.J., 1972. 18: 1, p. 156). At the halfway stage we regrouped for new objec- tives in the side valleys close to Base Camp, while for the final efforts we placed another party by canoe amongst the most easterly of the smooth and sheer pinnacles of the “Land of the Towers,” while another canoe party voyaged east to climb on the islands of Pamiagdluk and Quvernit. Weather conditions were excellent throughout the summer: most climbs were done on windless and sunny days and bivouacs were seldom contem- plated by the parties abseiling down in the night gloom. Two mountains may illustrate the nature of the routes: Angiartarfik (1845 meters or 6053 feet; Grade III), a complex massive peak above Base Camp, was ascended by front-pointing in crampons up 2300 feet of frozen high-angled snow and then descended on the same slope in soft thawing slush: this, the easiest route on the peak, became impracticable by mid-July when the snow melted off to expose a crevassed slope of green ice; Twin Pillars of Pamiagdluk (1373 meters or 4505 feet; Grade V), a welded pair of abrupt pinnacles comprising the highest peak on this island, was climbed in a three-day sortie by traversing on to its steep slabby east wall and following a thin 300-metre line to the summit crest.

This trail is regarded one of the most spectacular in the world. It is very popular among mountaineering enthusiasts, since six of its many summits exceed 6000 meters in elevation. Mount Yerupajá (6634 meters) is one such example: it is the country’s second highest peak. Several trails which vary in length between 45 and 180 kilometers are available, with hiking times from as few as two days to as many as twelve. The options include: • Circle the mountain range: (Llámac-Pocpa-Queropalca Quishuarcancha-Túpac Amaru-Uramaza-Huayllapa-Pacllón): 180 km (10-12 days). • Llámac-Jahuacocha: 28 km (2-3 days). Most hikers begin in Llámac or Matacancha. Diverse landscapes of singular beauty are clearly visible along the treks: dozens of rivers; a great variety of flora and fauna; turquoise colored lagoons, such as Jahuacocha, Mitucocha, Carhuacocha, and Viconga, and; the spectacular snow caps of Rondoy (5870 m), Jirishanca (6094 m), Siulá (6344 m), and Diablo Mudo (5223 m).

  • Glacier Recession and Human Vulnerability in the Yanamarey Watershed of the Cordillera Blanca, Peru
    Climatic Change DOI 10.1007/s10584-010-9870-1 Glacier recession and human vulnerability in the Yanamarey watershed of the Cordillera Blanca, Peru Jeffrey T. Bury · Bryan G. Mark · Jeffrey M. McKenzie · Adam French · Michel Baraer · Kyung In Huh · Marco Alfonso Zapata Luyo · Ricardo Jesús Gómez López Received: 7 April 2009 / Accepted: 18 March 2010 © The Author(s) 2010. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Glaciers in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru, are undergoing rapid retreat, in large part due to climate change. These changes are significantly altering water availability in the region and pose critical risks to local populations that are highly dependent on these resources for livelihoods. We examine these issues through an interdisciplinary and linked evaluation of hydrological change and livelihood vulnerability in the Yanamarey watershed. Physical observations of the Yanamarey glacier show acceleration in frontal retreat at a rate of 8 m decade−1 since 1970, accompanied by total volume loss on the order of 0.022 km3. Hydrological and hydrochemical analyses document a possible transformation of stream flow over the past decade as the seasonal storage capacity of the glacier has degraded. Recent stream discharge measurements from the proglacial lake below the glacier are more coincident with the highly variable seasonal precipitation than they were during the 1998–1999 hydrological year. Local household perceptions of glacier recession and seasonal hydrological variability agree with this trend, which is increasing human vulnerability in the watershed. Household case-study survey results demonstrate that J. T. Bury (B) · A.

    New Geographies of Water and Climate Change in Peru: Coupled Natural and Social Transformations in the Santa River Watershed Jeffrey Bury,∗ Bryan G. Mark,† Mark Carey,‡ Kenneth R. Young,§ Jeffrey M. McKenzie,# Michel Baraer,¶ Adam French,∗ and Molly H. Polk§ ∗Department of Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz †Department of Geography and Byrd Polar Center, The Ohio State University ‡Robert D. Clark Honors College, University of Oregon §Department of Geography and the Environment, University of Texas, Austin #Earth and Planetary Sciences, McGill University ¶Ecole´ de technologie superieure,´ UniversiteduQu´ ebec´ Projections of future water shortages in the world’s glaciated mountain ranges have grown increasingly dire. Although water modeling research has begun to examine changing environmental parameters, the inclusion of social scenarios has been very limited. Yet human water use and demand are vital for long-term adaptation, risk reduction, and resource allocation. Concerns about future water supplies are particularly pronounced on Peru’s arid Pacific slope, where upstream glacier recession has been accompanied by rapid and water-intensive economic development. Models predict water shortages decades into the future, but conflicts have already arisen in Peru’s Santa River watershed due to either real or perceived shortages. Modeled thresholds do not align well with historical realities and therefore suggest that a broader analysis of the combined natural and social drivers of change is needed to more effectively understand the hydrologic transformation taking place across the watershed. This article situates these new geographies of water and climate change in Peru within current global change research discussions to demonstrate how future coupled research models can inform broader scale questions of hydrologic change and water security across watersheds and regions.

  • Likely the Most Well-Known Multi-Day Hike in the Area, the Santa Cruz Trek Deserves Every Bit of Its Popularity
    Likely the most well-known multi-day hike in the area, the Santa Cruz trek deserves every bit of its popularity. It is considered among the best treks in the world, treating visitors to amazing views of ice capped peaks as the travel through open valleys, over a mountain pass and past amazing rivers and glacier lakes. An amazing way to take in the beauty of the Cordillera Blanca. Day 1: Huaraz – Cashapampa - Llamacorral Leaving Huaraz by van, we head north, following the Santa River along the Callejón de Huaylas. The great snow-capped Nevados of the Cordillera Blanca tower to the east, while a lower range, the Cordillera Negra, rises to the west. After an hour of gradual descending in elevation, we reach the town of Caraz (7,544’/2,300m). We turn east, and begin to ascend into the Cordillera Blanca, switch-backing up a secondary road for two hours to the village of Cashapampa (9,512’/2,900m). Here we meet our mountain crew: guides, cooks, and muleteers, who commence loading the gear on mules. We begin the trek heading up the Santa Cruz valley through high pasture. After three hours walking we reach our first camp in Llamacorral (11,972’/3,650m). All meals provided on the trek. Day 2: Llamacorral – Arhuaycocha We continue up the Santa Cruz valley, passing Ichiccocha and Jatuncocha lakes. At Quisuar we turn north, and ascend via the Arhuaycocha valley towards Alpamayo base camp (4,000 m). We spend the night with splendid views of the peaks of Quitaraju (6,040m), Alpamayo (5,947m), Artesonraju (6,025m) and others.
