HUARAZ ICE CLIMBING - PERU

The summits of Cordillera Blanca constitute one of the most attractive targets for climbers worldover. Ice climbing is popular here due to the ease of access which allows doing various climbs and coming back to the town of Huaraz to rest between climbs. The climbs range from short climbs of a few hours to unexplored vertical faces of rock and ice, little frequented by climbers. Ice climbing activity is one of the most important tourist activity, but has some important requirements. Since Peru is one of the best well-known countries in the world for alpinism, it's necessary to make known these requirements for safe climbing.
