Dru Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Does that mean the white stuff on it is alpomayonnaise? Quote
Bob_Clarke Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 That's Alpamayo - I did that peak a couple of years ago. Great climb. [ 07-11-2002, 12:39 PM: Message edited by: Ropegun2002 ] Quote
fern Posted July 21, 2002 Author Posted July 21, 2002 it´s not Alpamayo, it´s Chopicalqui, mas facile, mas grande y menos peligroso. just got back from 2 weeks in the Huayhuash. Crap weather, many storm days spent baking donuts and making Jello, got halfway up a small mountain before getting avalanched so went trekking instead. 2 more weeks in Huaraz ... maybe rockclimbing will be more fun, snow and ice conditions are not so great.

fern Posted July 27, 2002 Author Posted July 27, 2002 tried one more peak in the Cordillera Blanca ... got to 200m from summit, not that close I guess, but the glacier was very broken and tedious and the ice that we brought screws for turned out to be snow that we didn´t have so many pickets for. No more snow and ice, I´m tired of being cold in the tropics. Bring on the rockclimbing. I´ll be home soon and probably give a little slideshow in Squamish mid=August so if anyone wants to see pictures PM me and I´ll let you know details ... maybe I will even invite Dru Quote
