I am heading down to Peru June 25th-July15th and I am looking for partners. I am looking to acclimatize for the first week on Pisco, Yanapacche, and Copia and after that take a look at the west face of Tocllaraja. Other then the first three my schedule is open and I am totally flexable for just about anything. I can lead moderate ice up 70-80 degree but I am more then comfortable following on harder stuff if need be.

How is winter climbing there different than summer? Is this comparable to N American seasons, or does one just worry about dodging the wet seasons?

feb. mar. are rainy season. more snow in mountains and no sun to consolidate it. from may, there is little rain/snow till sept so routes gets more packed,easier and safer. the season change is not as drastic as us.in huaraz,it never snows.temp drop to mid 60 from 75.
