Paulo, this is a wonderful report you wrote! I really lived it all the way innerly with you and Pedro! And what an area! I think my favorite of the photos - all of them marvelous! - is that mysterious one of Ciririca Peak in the clouds! And the YouTube videos you posted are very good as well - the summit view above the clouds came out beautifully! One thing I'd urgently like to know: How do you bring the YouTube videos directly on the SummitPost pages? Because I'd like the videos I created (Scriabin+Mountain, etc.) to be visible like that on my profile page. Can you help me?
All the very best to you, Paulo, and I'm flattered that you liked my Hoher Göll panorama,
Eric
Well, thank you for reading and more, enjoy the reading!
Let me tell you about Ciririca Peak. That mountain is one of the most difficult mountains of that area, together with Ferraria they are the most wanted, but almost never summited mountains.
For Ciririca there’s two possible trails.
First one: “Above trail”.
For this one normaly who try does it in 2 or maybe 3 days, bcuz you have to hike and descent 4 summits before Ciririca, and that makes it the 5th summit of the adventure. The altitude difference becuz of that is probably more than 2000 meters!!! It is an exausting pass, but possible. I did it in 14 hours, in just one day! Started at 04:40 am at the road, walked 6kms to the farm, entered the trail at 06:20am. I went up, passed by Camapuan (1706m), Tucum (1736m), Cerro Verde (1650m), Cerro Luar (1653m), descent to about 1300m and only then i started to hike Ciririca itself, and got to the summit at 20:15pm. It was really, really, really hard...he he he
80% of the people who try this route quit at the second day, it rains a lot there and they lose the window of good weather.
Second one: “down trail”.
That’s a direct route to the peak, but also long and chalenging. Takes from 6 to 8 hours of hike, depending on the trekker. Even by that way, 70% of the hikers quit after 5 hours.
