Z-Man Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Trip: Peru - Cordillera Blanca Date: 6/1/2010 Trip Report: Spent six weeks in Huaraz and we mostly got a GI tract/altitude butt-kicking, but it was beautiful good times regardless. Spent an embarrassing amount of time sport climbing, but it was really good sport climbing. Hatun Machay Urus Este Ishinca Maparaju Andavite Vallunaraju Pisco Haumasharaju(sp?)

OlympicMtnBoy Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Cool, what route is that on Vallunaraju? We did the walk up as an acclimatization climb in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 The feature is the North Ridge, its in Brad Johnson's guide, but I don't remember what he labels it as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the North Ridge Route involves sections of steep ice? Me and buddy heading to Vallunaraju among others peaks on mid June. JP.

Z-Man Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 The route can involve steep ice, or possibly not, depends on conditions. Typically in June there will be more snow and not much ice. Last year was very dry so climbing it in May involved some steep ice and mixed. Brad Johnson lists it as one of the easiest technical routes to do down there.
