Thank you! It's my pleasure! Was a nice trip despite the fact that I only had one summit this year.

Thanks Vitaliy!

Love it!!! Are you on Huascaran? I recognize Pisco and the Huandoys (spelling?). We did Pisco end of July.

Pisco and the Huandoys taken from Yannapacha and Chopicalqui. Cool on your Pisco climb! I was up there last year. Thanks for your comments!

Very cool! I'm hoping to go back and do one or two more peaks (time permitting). It was a very short visit: less than 2 weeks (partly due to plane delays going there).

Ah yeah, 2 weeks is short. We were there for about 3 weeks and I was just starting to feel really good again at the end of the trip. Did a little too much early and then didn't get enough rest, so I didn't feel up to doing Chopi or Huascaran. I did learn a lot about what type of schedule I can do.

Great shots! Add a few that relate to Yannapaccha to the Yannapaccha page.

Nice shots, brings back some good memories.

On another note...HOLY HELL the Huandoys are dry. The route up Sur that I attempted last year looks like it's practically a rock climb!

Yeah, they had almost no rain or snow this last wet season. Bummer....

Ok Buz, will do. Thanks!

Yeah, acclimating seems to be the key. So, the longer the better. We started our short trek the next day after arriving with the night bus in Huaraz. Other than that, the distances and elevation gain all seem pretty modest compared to some Sierra slogs

Yes on acclimating. That was a quick start to your trekking...did you do the Santa Cruz?

We only had 3 days. We did Quilcayhuanca valley and Cojup Pass. Day 1 to 14k, day 2 to 16.5k . Luckily we hiked Gorgonio the weekend before so we probably were still a bit acclimated.

Yikes! It does not take much of a hike to get up high there.
