Trip: huaraz peru part 6 - Date: 2/12/2008 Trip Report: left huaraz , the other day to go climb 2 , 5000m easy rock peaks i had seen from valluna; i took a cab to go to ishinca valley but bailed after 10 minutes when the price changed!! i just took to the hills in the general direction...i left in shorts, with gloves,paclite jacket and camera. just 3-4 hours in the sun.after an agonising 6hours i finally got to the first summit.srambling 101. from there i eyed 2 more along a ridge. after clearing a few steps i got to the second one. a snow capped 5200m. the third was more challenging. vertical chimney to the summit. that day i was not feeling well and it took a lot of effert to get there. just plain awfull. i was panting like a first weeker ar altitude..wtf??. 10 hrs later i was back in huaraz. missed the hard rain by 3drops!!! peaks 10/11/12 more pics to follow? unamed 5200m peak (i'm sure the locals got a name) Gear Notes: shorts,poly top,pack light jacket,naljean,camhd.pic. Approach Notes: follow the hills to the rock thingys

Trip: huaraz/peru part 7 - huapi/quinarumi Date: 2/12/2008 Trip Report: wow! met some guys in huaraz who were going trekking which is my queue to get out of town.!i told them i'd go if i could climb a couple peaks. they did the quilcahuanca valley with the high pass (5000m) to cojup valley to return.we got to the end of the valley in about 6hrs.from there i saw a rock peak that looked over 5200m.next day i told my pals to go ahead and i would climb this and join them later. they had to cross over the pass that day. i hid my pack close by and took nothing!well.. my camera, and gloves.i was doing a rock scramble peak. 3-5 hrs roundtrip. proverbial yaaaaaH! i left at 8am on a nice clear day. i had scoped a route up the grass slopes to the rock cone.sort of worked. i had to improvise.got to the rock in about 2hrs of 40% grass/moraine slopes.the rock was pretty bad. would'nt want to have to protect that stuff!! .i moved up following obvious lines.got stuck a couple times on vertical sections that thinned out or crapped out but traversed to better options.really had to pay attention to loose holds.i got to my first summit (5200m)after 4hrs.fine . only thing is, there is no way i'm downclimbing that!! fortunately i'm on a ridge and there is another peak about 1hr up.bag it in the name of love.(5275M).no real descent route in view.but , there, in plain view ,up the ridge about 2hrs, is a real sweetie...! looks like it goes . i am starting to hit snow but its just below feezing and i'm confortable. a series of vertical steps/blocks and i'm getting close. the final hour i have to alternate to the snow fields (50/70%) for short stints .the snow is perfect . punch some deep steps and go...as i punch hand holds with my fingers i remember the scene from kill bill...in the coffin.. i am so happy to be given this....i summit after 7 hrs..what a treat..(Quinarumi 5455m). throughout i scoped a descent route to the left on the snow slopes.....i worked out a series of 'tongues to rock step' etc...from the summit i downclimb a short vertical rock step to the snows. i glissade most of the way.i am soaked in minutes as it is 3pm and sunny. no harm cause its 3pm and sunny.the previous climbs here have thought me to take great care descending to the valleys. you dont want to add 3-4 hours on a slope that ends in a cliff..now.... 3hrs later i find my pack.its 4pm and no way i'm goona catch my pals at the next camp.i realise that they got all the food minus a bag of oatmeal...rich...i eat some.i got 100g of raisins and some cytomax..i start to climb up to the pass.i take a different route up cause it will take me closer to HUAPI, my next goal. i get up 2/3 way by night fall. i pitch in the trail.the night is clear.alpenglow.next day i leave by 6 to get a shot at my pals if they camped at the col.they are down the other side.i climb up to a platform of moss by a small pond (5100m)i eat some more oatmeal and rest.by 9am i leave for the summit. this time i bring one tech axe but no crampons.i want to got up the rock buttress and descend by the glacier.pretty straight forward until the final cone, where the rock is visibly broken up.sure enough i get in a nearly vertical line that's all crushed. i have my cam in a belt pouch with a nalgene on the right and my axe on the left. i pull the axe and start swinging. works. i cam it in.i use the hammer. i get up.one move i am all on it and i remember my coach telling me to test my placements and then TRUST them!! ya baby!! i zigzag my way up and finally get to the summit snows. beautiful day! i take pics galore.. all the giants are here...chinchey,ranrapalca,sanjuan,and the "k2 of peru", senor' HUANTSAN...i start down the summit snow slopes..after a while i jump down onto a lower snow slopes, traverse under the iced corniche for 100m to get to a glissadable slope.its all wet and mushy.soaked in minutes but it's controllable stuff. after a series of glissades/rock steps, i am back on the morraine slopes and at my tent in an hr. i look back and smile in gratitude...... PS. these peaks (all 5000m +) are part of a memorial i am doing here in peru to honour the memory of my great friend and mentor,who passed in oct.76peaks for 76 years of service to humanity. i does? does i muster the will? does he line up the stars? does i choose the god-hour? does he stirs in me the call? not sure yet i love it all........ virendra quinarumi ridge next day after a snow fall the final ridge to summit HUAPI THE rock finish.. Gear Notes: boots,paclite pants and jacket,gloves,cap and tuque, one quark,high def camera.avatar picture. Approach Notes: at the end of quilcahuanca valley, 8 hrs from huaraz.

stew from the trek and i decided to go to vallunaraju. it is rainy season here so it was imperative to get to 5k meters quickly. better snowed on than rained on!! we left huaraz at 4am and after a 20 min cab ride started walking. is was cloudy but rainless... we moved well and got from 3000m to 5000m in 6hrs... we set up camp next to the glacier.went to bed early and the next day woke at 5am to find clear skies!! we got out a little late ..6h30. we started up the iced up slopes with no problems. stew was doing excellent for his first time on crampons.years of sailing will teach you balance i guess...we moved well and got to the summit cone in about 3-4 hrs.we took great pics on a great day!! we could see huaraz all clouded up but up here it was sun and fun!! the summit ridge has changed a lot since 4years ago and is now much more difficult.deep snow on a 40% slope way up above the valley floor.!stew wisely declined...i carefully made my way up the delicate first part. an avalanche block test revealed a potential layer so i stayed right on the ridge , where it was icier..after about 100m i got to the summit ridge and followed it to the top.i returned quickly as stew was waiting at the beach.(well, close to it.) i eyed the second summit and asked stew if he would wait. i raced up/down in 20 min!! we started down and encountered the dreaded conditions i feared our late start would garantee only in the last 1/2 hr!! we started sinking to our knees on every step. i used a sidesliding four legged technique perfected on deep NE snow... a great climb in great company.

trekking?? santa cruz, oh yeah , thats the sport....well i got invited to join 2 guys to do that trek. i dont trek! unless it takes me to a peak... stew,petar and i went to vaquaria to start the trek. its a very nice trek with lots of spectacular snow capped mtns... if you can see them.they sell it to gringos as a 4day thing. its a 8/10hrs trek.(quick) . i decided to go after i saw i could do 1 or 2, 5000m peaks on the way.i reached the first camp in 2;30hrs, stew from hollandia in 3h and petar in 7hrs!!, right at nightfall. we had a slight problem... next day we would climb over the pass at 4700m and petar was obviouslay not acclimatized. i suggested he go back. no avail. next we agreed that i would go to the col,drop my pack and come back to get his. stew went ahead to next camp. i climbed towards the col.at about 4000m i traversed left and went to climb 2 , 5000m peaks connected by a ridge.i left my pack (30lbs) at 4600m. it was a cool,exposed, rock ridge.about 1000yds long .i passed the first one with no problem but the second was steeper and covered in wet snow.i had to climb a short vertical section to get to the summit. pics and turned back.i was back at my pack in 1h30 round trip. i now had to traverse about 1000m to go put my pack at the col and go get petar's. that was more tenous than expected.lots of ups and down. i got to the trail, hid my pack and started down.it was now 4h30 from petar's start and i expected to see him on the trail, down there. i could see about 2hrs back. no sign. i climbed down 1h ,to the end of the flat part i could see...no sign.it started to hail/rain.i figured he was in trouble somewhere lower.i had nothing with me.pointless to go join him.i HAD to go back up and get the tent and stuff . when i reached my pack the cold rain doubled. daing!! it went down fast to get to him and to stay warm!after about 1h30 i heard a faint hey!! it was his voice coming from a cave along the trail.he was about a mile from the camp!!in 6 hrs!! i pitched the tent made soup and tea i told him the trip was over and i would go down with him next day .the next morning at 7 he awakens me and says he's ready to go up or down, whatever i think. i go back to bed. 45 min later a guide going up asks if i'm ok. i say yes but my pal is a little sick so we're going down.he looks inside the tent and says where is your friend?.oh ,in the cave, i reply..(petar wanted to stay in there)he checks and says ,well, there's nobody there... he gone up!! i packed the wet tent quickly and started up after him.my pack felt heavy this time.i patiently climbed back up to the col. i caught up to him close to to it. he was fine. i was angry. told him he was on his own and i was going ahead to next camp.i ended up waiting at the col to take pics . i was happy for him..i went ahead to next camp. i got there , set up the tent made water, tea, soup for him. he got there later. next day i hooked up with a french couple who could really walk and we got out in 4hrs.! (reg 6-8hrs) it was a cool finish (running the last mile !) to a otherwise rainy/plain/frustrating trek. i took few pics of the mtns we could see.
