Peru Technical Ascents

The Cordillera Blanca, with 175 peaks over 6,000 meters, draws climbers from around the globe and represents the heart of South American climbing. The vast range towers above the town of Huaraz and presents infinite challenges, from gentle peaks to cutting-edge test pieces. Our 13-day trip into the Blanca’s most spectacular valley, the Llanganuco, climbs peaks of moderate technical difficulty at altitude.
