Incredible Peru Andes climbs on Chopikalki expedition with Mountain Madness

Chopakalki and Ishinca Valley Expedition

Climb Three Peruvian Summits to Almost 21,000 Feet / 6400 Meters

ClimbĀ­ing expeĀ­diĀ­tions to Peruā€™s Cordillera BlanĀ­ca Range offer chalĀ­lengĀ­ing ascents and a trip with incredĀ­iĀ­ble sumĀ­mits that rival the Himalayas. EleĀ­gant corĀ­niced ridges, delĀ­iĀ­cateĀ­ly flutĀ­ed ice faces, emerĀ­ald green lakes and invitĀ­ing valĀ­leys make the area a mounĀ­taineerā€™s parĀ­adise. SharpĀ­en your cramĀ­pons and ice axes and get ready some tropĀ­iĀ­cal snow and ice. These mounĀ­tains conĀ­tain some of the greatĀ­est verĀ­tiĀ­cal relief to be found outĀ­side the Himalayas, and offer climbĀ­ing chalĀ­lenges equal to those found in the great ranges of the worldā€‰ā€”ā€‰and ChopakalĀ­ki is among the most beauĀ­tiĀ­ful in the range and goal worĀ­thy of any alpinist.

This clasĀ­sic expeĀ­diĀ­tion is well suitĀ­ed to advanced beginĀ­ner and interĀ­meĀ­diĀ­ate climbers, espeĀ­cialĀ­ly those with future goals on bigĀ­ger peaks of the Himalayas. The climbs offer modĀ­erĀ­ate glacĀ­iĀ­er climbĀ­ing chalĀ­lenges with occaĀ­sionĀ­al route findĀ­ing difĀ­fiĀ­culĀ­ties through crevassed areas, and just enough steep snow and ice secĀ­tions to keep things interĀ­estĀ­ing for strong beginĀ­ner-interĀ­meĀ­diĀ­ate levĀ­el climbers. And if youā€™re short on time, climb Urus and IshĀ­inĀ­ca in a 12-day itinĀ­erĀ­ary that includes travĀ­el time.
