CLIMBING NORTE 6,625MTS

06 Days / 05 Nights

Even though it is the 2nd highest peak in the Cordilera Blanca, it’s only 114 meters lower than Huascaran Sur. the standard route has few problematical crevasses, and it’s not difficult the panoramic of the Cordillera Blanca offered by the North summit has an adventage over that provided by the south peak.

It is technically difficult, and each year conditions vary in accessing it, as in all the mountains of the Cordilera Blanca.
