Hi,

I want to do a circuit trek around the Cordillera Huayhuash, a circuit of Ausangate and the Cordillera Real Traverse from Illampu to Illmani. From least difficult to most difficult, what is the best sequence to do these in?

Thanks.

Hi y'all!

I'm looking for climbing partners based in Southern Oregon, Nor Cal, or Central Oregon. I've been building my skills and experience in the mountains - mostly with summits in the summer & shoulder seasons.

I can trade beers, good company, and photo/video capturing in return! ...

Hey everyone, curious when the mountain closes can you still attempt a climb? I mean, once the rangers and search and rescue leave and everything closes can you still summit? Also I have a month before I plan to hike. What are some other good pre hikes around that area in either Chile or Argentina? Thanks a lot for your help and advice. I fly into Santiago on the 1 st of January. J.C.

About me: 29, living in California, an experienced mountaineer (and rock climber/skier) but have never climbed above ~18k before. Likewise ...

As a gift, I received a vintage photo from 1937 of Mt Hood which I am trying to identify for my own personal satsifaction. I have never visited the peak and have no personal knowledge of what I am looking at other than comparing it to images on the Internet. The attached image appears to show the south side, facing in a westerly direction - my best guess. I would like to identify the rock ...
