  • 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.

  • Carhuascancha : Chavin Trek
    PERUVIAN ANDES ADVENTURES OLLEROS : CARHUASCANCHA : CHAVIN TREK 6 days (7 day option and also 5 day option) Grade: Medium Highest Point: 4850m Note: The Chavin Ruins are not open on Mondays, if you are planning a trek with a visit to Chavin, plan the trek dates so you do not finish in Chavin on a Monday Our Olleros Carhuascansha trek is a magical journey into a remote and beautiful unspoilt area of the Cordillera Blanca not known to many other trekking groups. We follow an ancient pre Inca route and are treated to fantastic mountain views, waterfalls many small crystal blue mountain lakes and traditional Andean mountain villages where there are no roads and very little contact with foreign tourists and trekkers. On the return to Huaraz from the finish of the trek we stop first to visit the new and modern museum where we will have an insight into the technologically and culturally advanced Chavin Culture the oldest major culture in Peru existing from around 1000 to 300 BC. Then we go on to the archaeological site of Chavín de Huántar which was the administration and religious centre of the Chavín culture,. The site of Chavín de Huántar is an incredible feat of engineering, with most of the construction being built underground in an extensive labyrinth of interconnecting chambers, tunnels, ventilation ducts and water canals. Chavin Peter from the USA: Having done treks in the Cuzco and Abancay region, I have to say that this little Cordilleras Blancas trip was my favourite And the Morales brothers were by far the most professional operators I worked with.

  • A Survey of Andean Ascents 1961-1970
    ML A Survey of Andean Ascents 1961-1970 A Survey of Andean Ascents: 1961~1970 Part I. Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru. EVELIO ECHEVARR~A -,!!.-N the years 1962 and 1963, the American A/pine Journal published “A survey of Andean ascents”. It included climbs dating back to the activity deployed by the Andean In- dians in the early 1400’s to the year 1960 inclusive. This present survey attempts to continue the former by covering all traceable Andean ascents that took place from 1961 to 1970 inclusive. Hopefully the rest of the ascents (in Bolivia, Chile and Argentina) will be published in 1974. The writer feels indebted to several mountaineers who readily pro- vided invaluable help: the editor of this journal, Mr. H. Adams Carter, who suggested and directed this project: Messrs. John Ricker (Canada), Olaf Hartmann (Germany) and Mario Fantin (Italy), who all gave advice on several ranges, particularly in Peru. Besides, the following persons also provided important information that helped to solve a good many problems on the history and geography of Andean peaks: Messrs. D.F.O. Dangar and T.S. Blakeney (Great Britain), Ben Curry (Great Britain-Colombia), Ichiro Yoshizawa (Japan), Hans-Dieter Greul and Christian Jahl (Germany), J. Monroe Thorington, Stanley Shepard and John Peyton (United States) and Christopher Jones (Great Britain- United States). The American Alpine Club, through its secretary, Miss Margot McKee, helped immensely by loaning books and journals. To all these persons I express my gratitude. This survey has been compiled mostly from mountaineering and scientific literature, as well as from correspondence and conversation with mountaineers.

  • Peruvian Andes Adventures Olleros to Chavin Trek 3
    PERUVIAN ANDES ADVENTURES OLLEROS TO CHAVIN TREK 3 days Grade: Easy to Medium Highest Point: 4700m Laguna Huamanpinta Note: The Chavin Ruins do not open on Mondays. If you are planning a trek with a visit to Chavin, plan the trek dates so you do not finish in Chavin on a Monday. For 3 days, we follow an ancient, pre-Inca pathway through a remote area of the Cordillera Blanca, a long way from the range’s busier trekking circuits. As we go, we will encounter traditional communities where locals still live as their ancestors did. The trek ends at the enigmatic archaeological site of Chavín de Huántar, the religious and administrative centre of the Chavín culture. This feline-worshipping culture thrived from around 1000 to 300 BC, making it the oldest major culture Peru ever had. Chavín de Huántar is an incredible feat of engineering, with most of the construction being underground in the form of an extensive labyrinth of interconnecting chambers, tunnels, ventilation ducts and water canals. Our trek offers an exciting mix of hiking through beautiful and remote countryside, encounters with the local culture through meeting local people in remote communities, and ancient Andean history. If you are looking for a short, relaxing trek away from the busier circuits, then you are sure to enjoy this cultural trekking itinerary. Testimonials: Olleros to Chavin Trek: Allan Willocks from Australia:“Overall this was an excellent trip. It was great to do a trek where the only people that we saw were the locals going about their daily lives. I am surprised that this isn’t a more well known trek!” Peter from the USA: Having done treks in the Cuzco and Abancay region, I have to say that this little Cordilleras Blancas trip was my favourite And the Morales brothers were by far the most professional operators I worked with.

  • South America 1982
    208 AREA NOTES South America 1982 Evelio Echevarrfa Generally speaking the past Andean season was rather disappointing. The trend to open new routes in the Cordillera Blanca and in a few Patagonian districts has continued unabated, but in the remaining areas repeat ascents have been the rule. New peaks climbed have been few and mostly in Chile. The following activities deserve reporting. All refer to 1982 unless otherwise stated. Venezuela A new field for new routes, if not for unclimbed peaks, has been found among the rocky walls, ridges and outcrops of the Sierra del NQrte (also called Sierra de la Culata), located N of the Sierra Nevada de Merida and of the Andean city of Merida. Often led by the very active Jose Betancourt, small groups of local climoers have been seeking out new routes on steep, albeit short, walls. The E faces of La Vieja I and La Vieja III (ca. 4300m) and the SE face of La Torre (4311m) received in 1982 their first climbers. In the Sierra Nevada de Merida the same Betancourt, with Gustavo G6mez, made a new route on the well known rock peak of Vertigo (ca. 4900m); they climbed the E face on 6 March. Peru Cordillcra Blanca The past year saw another crop of new routes in this range. The following are particularly noteworthy: Chopicalqui, 6354m, NW face (left ofthe 1981 French route), Eric Doussin, solo, 26 July; and E ridge, 6 Chamonix guides led by R. Desmaison, 25 August.

  • Yahuarraju and Rurec, Cordillera Blanca
    Yahuarraju and Rurec, Cordillera Blanca H . A d a m s C a r t e r Our expedition was not so much distinguished for the technical brilliance of our climbing ability as for the advanced age of its members. I sat, securely wedged between the highest tiny outcrop of dark red, rotten rock and the extremely steep snow slope, a few feet below the summit of 18,620-foot Yahuarraju. As I belayed my Brazilian friend, Domingos Giobbi, up to me and then above while he led through to the highest point and as I then tended the rope for the Peruvian Emilio Angeles, I made a quick calculation; the combined age for the three of us totaled 131 years. Domingos Giobbi probably knows the southern Cordillera Blanca better than any man, dead or alive. There is no one, perhaps no two people combined, who have made as many first ascents in the sector from Huantsán south. He has also solved numerous geographical problems in the area. For a number of years he has been leading expeditions into the range, systematically working his way from south to north. Normally he enters the mountains with a mobile, small party, more often than not consisting of himself and several Peruvians. Though recruited from the ranks of the excellent porters of Huaraz, one or more may be elevated to the position of full-fledged climbing member. Thus it was that our fellow expedition partner, Emilio Angeles, was on the rope with us. Emilio is doubtless the foremost member of that indominable Angeles family which for years has been helping climbing expeditions to Andean summits.
