Itinerary
Huaraz (3100m) – Huarapasca (5420m)
Very early in the morning (2 am), we depart with our private transport toward the south side of Huaraz, approximately a 3-hour drive to the base of our mountain at an altitude of 4800m. From here, we prepare our backpacks and start ascending a rocky terrain of about 1 km until reaching the base of the glacier, where we put on crampons, harnesses, and rope up to begin our ascent. We start with the 3 pitches of technical climbing, then reach the plateau and continue ascending to the summit, which offers a splendid panoramic view of many previously mentioned snowcapped mountains, while also observing the Huayhuash Range with its imposing Yerupajá peak. After taking great photos, we return via the same route. On the wall where we climbed the three pitches, we descend by rappels until exiting the glacier, then meet our private transport, which takes us back to the city of Huaraz.
