HUASCARÁN SUR-(6768 m/22,200ft)
Come to Peru and enjoy with us climbing the highest peak in Peru ,Huascaran,. ( 6768 m/22,200ft).
Our main objective will be the mammoth Huascaran-Sur (22,200ft), Peru's highest peak and one of the most imposing summits in the world. It offers a challenging ascent requiring intermediate level alpine skills, and an unusual opportunity for climbers who want to make an ascent to very high altitude. In order to acclimate, we will also attempt Nevado Pisco (19,188'), which offers breathtaking views all the way to the summit. Previous glacier experience is recommended for both ascents.
