Jim23 Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Can anyone recommend a good climbing guidebook and topo maps for the Cordillera Blanca in Peru? I have seen some of the 3a/3b/3c series maps (like, Swiss or something) but they are $20 each out of the map shop in Seattle- I'm hoping they might be cheaper or have local equivalents when I get down to Huaraz... Has anyone experience with the new regulations involving mandatory local guides for climbers in Parque Nacional Huascaran and elsewhere in the Blanca? Thanks for any info/recommendations! --Jim Quote
Hugh Conway Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Buy the Brad Johnson guidebook, Climbing in the Cordillera Blanca I believe the maps you saw are the Austrian Alpine club (OeAv). I paid ~$20 at the clubhouse for them last year, you won't find them much cheaper. They are an old datum. Quote
summerprophet Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 I have the peruvian maps for both Alpamayo and Huascaran. I can copy them if you can deal with black and white. PM re the guidebook. J. Quote
