Technical Skills Ice Climbing Intermediate or Advanced level. Our climbing route consist of a vertical 50 -60 degree angled wall, where with the use of ice axe we climb on forzen pathway with ice formation on both the sides. Climbers should be efficient with kick step and balancing with ice axe on icy slopes to ascend on vertical climb. Abseiling. This is the simplest yet the one of the most important skills to master. Some multi - pitch abseiling knowledge/experience are also required. Your prior experience in climbing should give you a good understanding of how your body copes in high altitude. You are responsible to build you fitness up to the best level.

  • 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.

  • A Journey Through the Cordillera Blanca of Peru
    88 A JOURNEY THROUGH THE CORDILLERA BLANCA OF PERU A JOURNEY THROUGH THE CORDILLERA BLANCA OF PERU BY H. L. STEMBRIDGE (Six illustrations: nos. 30- 35) • F the nine weeks that Alf Gregory and I were together in Peru in the middle of 1963 five were spent among the mountains of the Cordillera Blanca, two in the 'hotlands ', the lush, humid forests bordering the Alto Madre de Dios river, the remainder in the central uplands where the great ruined cities of the Incas ar.e to be found. Each phase had its attractions. If the ruins enthralled us, the jungle~ was far and away the most amusing, though a trifle uncomfortable, but for unalloyed pleasure a three weeks' journey through the Cordillera Blanca takes pride of place. I suppose that most of us, at some period in our lives, find that the urge to lay siege to a peak diminishes that our happiness among mountains spreads itself to embrace everything that surrounds them, that to travel along the valleys and ridges and over the passes camping, photographing, meeting a people whose history and customs intrigue us, gives to us as much pleasure as do the mountains we manage to scale. For people who enjoy this sort of thing, there can be nothing better than the Cordillera Blanca. Greg says the peaks there are as fine as any in the world, and he should know. Equally impressive were the accessories the flowers in late spring, more colourful than the Alps, birds amazing in variety, a climate set fair from May to August, unexploited antiquities and, of course, the Indians, primitive, splendid, colourful, dirty, completely uninhibited ,.---most of all the Indians.

  • INVITATION to the ANDES. John C. Oberlin
    INVITATION TO THE ANDES INVITATION TO THE ANDES . • BY JOHN C. OBERLIN (Names of mountains printed in italic are unofficial.) ......... Scottish Himalayan Expedition and other similar small parties have stimulated the hopes and aroused the ambitions of young · mountaineers, not only of Great Britain, but also of North America. lt demonstrated that the right sort of amateur party with limited funds could nevertheless explore and· climb in a remote region with eminent satisfaction and success. Many are eager to follow the example. I suggest that the Andes of Peru may offer what they seek. Peru ~s a magnificent country, bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west but largely draining into the Atlantic. This apparent anomaly is due to the extensive series of mountain ranges relatively near the coast which rise above 2o,ooo ft. and separate the strip of dry coastal plain from the luxuriant forests of the Amazon basin. .Most of the higher peaks are sheathed in snow and ice and many remain unclimbed despite the ready accessibility of their bases, for the simple reason that they are both difficult and dangerous. Other very large peaks, such as the volcano Coropuna (6,613 m.), offer no real problem other than their size. If the proper time of year is s~lected the weather is both com­ fortable and reliable, despite proximity to the equator, due to the effect of the cold Humboldt Current along· the coast and to the altitude of the valleys from which the peaks are reached. The Peruvians are friendly and most hospitable, and living and travel expenses are low.

  • INTERMEDIATE LEVEL CLIMBS Grade: PD+/AD Altitude: 6354M
    INTERMEDIATE LEVEL CLIMBS Grade: PD+/AD Altitude: 6354m.a.s.l. Chopicalqui is located in the Llanganuco valley, between Huascaran and Contrahierbas mountains. With a summit elevation of 6,354 meters (20,846 ft.) above sea level it is one of the highest peaks of the Cordillera Blanca. This climb has some technical sections and requires some climbing experience. There may be some steep sections depending on mountain conditions, and climbers will use their alpine climbing, glacier travel, rope and rappel skills. Climbers are rewarded with spectacular views of Huascaran, Yanapaccha, Chacraraju, Pisco, and the Huandoys. Day 1: Huaraz - Chopicalqui Base Camp This morning we’ll pick you up at your hotel and head towards the Callejón de Huaylas on the north side of Huaraz. As we head out of Huaraz the scenery quickly changes to beautiful traditional Andean villages and farmland. We’ll pass through Carhuaz, its name derived from qarwash which means yellow, and the color of the retama flower (broom flowers) known to the area (2650m/8692ft). Here we will find traditional homemade ice-cream, fresh milk, and the freshest local fruits. We continue and eventually reach the small town of Yungay. This town was completely buried by an avalanche that crashed down from Mt. Huascarán’s north peak in 1970. From here we begin our climb up the Llanganuco Valley to the entrance to the Llanganuco Valley where we will register at the National Park Control station. After we will visit the two sublime lakes of Llanganuco and pause for lunch. After we’ll continue driving up the Ancush Valley between Huascarán and Chopicalqui.

Enjoy the grand Cordillera Blanca mountain scenery, crystal blue lakes, local village and friendly people at your own pace in the company of your private Peruvian Andes Adventures guide & driver. Most of our hikes and tours depart Huaraz early morning (around 07:30am to 08:00am) to allow you to take advantage of the (generally) morning nice clear skies offering the clearest mountain views before the afternoon warm haze descends over the mountain tops. Note 1: Hike grading and walking times are average estimates only for people of average to good fitness. Some people will be faster and others will find it more difficult and be slower. The effects of altitude do make hiking much harder than a similar hike closer to sea level and different people adjust to the altitude in a different timeframe. Note 2: Most hiking options in the Cordillera Blanca should be considered to be physically demanding owing to the altitude and the mountainous nature of the terrain. There are very few flat hiking options and trails on some hikes are steep – both ascending and descending and can be slippery & rocky in places.

  • PERUVIAN ANDES ADVENTURES Climbing Two Peaks From
    PERUVIAN ANDES ADVENTURES Climbing Two Peaks from Demanda / Llanganuco valley PISCO & CHOPICALQUI CLIMBS 09 Days or YANAPACCHA & CHOPICALQUI CLIMBS 07 Days A challenging program climbing two peaks, both conveniently accessed from the head of the Demanda Valley, location of the famous twin Llanganuco Lakes. PISCO 5753m (18875 ft) Grade: PD / Moderate snow climbs – Physically hard Pisco is an achievable climb for anyone who is well acclimatised and fit. It is a suitable climb for beginner climbers and is also a rewarding climb for experienced climbers and it is an ideal preparation peak for the demanding Chopicalqui climb, providing extra acclimatisation and strength. Most years, there is no technical climbing on Pisco. Some years or months there are short steep sections, some hard ice to negotiate or a crevasse to navigate around. From the summit you are rewarded with magnificent views of the many surrounding peaks, including the beautiful Chacraraju and massive Huascarán (6768m), the highest mountain in Peru. Pisco YANAPACCHA 5460m (17913 ft) Grade: AD- / some steep climbing Yanapaccha is located very close to popular Pisco but is much less known and less frequented by climbers than Pisco. It is a moderately difficult climb with some steep sections and a final slope of up to 65 deg. to the summit. Yanapaccha is a superb preparation peak for more technical & physically demanding climbing on Chopicalqui. Yanapaccha Summit CHOPICALQUI 6354m (20847 ft) Grade : TD / Difficult, long serious climbs Chopicalqui, at 6354m, is sometimes referred to as the "third peak of Huascarán". It is a demanding peak to climb, with sections of steep climbing.

  • 2017 Peru Trip Proposal
    Harvard Mountaineering Club – HMC Proposal for summer trip 2017 Andes Editing: Alar, Feb 23rd, 2017 Introduction Here we propose a HMC summer trip to South-American Andes, with focus on Cordillera Blanca in Peru. Why Cordillera Blanca? There is number of reasons, which are listed here: 1. Cordillera Blanca is a premiere range in Andes for mountaineering. 2. Our recent trips have been focused on North-America and Alps and in last years HMC has not arranged expeditions or trips anywhere in Andes. We believe that expanding our geographical reach also to other areas would enrich the overall experience and promote discovering mountains more globally. 3. Cordillera Blanca provides experience with high altitude mountaineering, which is not possible in North-America, and particularly in US outside of Alaska. It is therefore good preparation and practice for high altitude mountaineering also elsewhere, like Alaska and Himalayas. 4. Owning to its location in tropical areas high mountains can be climbed lighter, with equipment and style similar to that of Alps or Cascades, while reaching much higher altitudes. 5. It is one of the most popular areas in Peruvian Andes for mountaineering, which gives somewhat better infrastructure in Huaraz, such as accommodation, mountain guides, other climbers (to get advices etc.), better mountain rescue services than elsewhere in the area. 6. Easily accessible. Transport from Lima to area, but also availability of minibuses, taxes, “burros” to help to trailheads and base camps. Most routes do not need long approaches. 7. Seasonal match. Good climates at the end of May and beginning of June, which would suit for HMC summer trip.
