Climbing in Cordillera Blanca in 2012!
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 7:23 pm
Hi SPers,
like my post said I will be climbing in the CB in early july for a month this summer. I was already been there and I wonder if regulations and permits have change in Huascaran NP.
Does park authorities still have the rule of the mandatory guide? Some of you uses Alpine club cards to enter the park and it seems to work well too.
I also heard that we need permits to climb and have a full sheet of informations to fill... (insurance, experience, etc.) Is that true or just rumors?
Now the fun parts!!
I want to know your plans for this season. Which mountains by which face. New routes. What's in and what's out of conditions (summer 2011)?
My wish list:
Tocclaraju west face direct
Ranrapalca Northeast face
Shaqsha west face (true summit) or south summit
Huandoys??
Quitaraju north face
Artesonraju southeast face
Alpamayo French direct
Huascaran sur Shield route
Planning on acclimatate via Hatun machay's sport routes.
Thanks
