Nevado Jancarurish. Fortunato Mautino and I made this ascent between August 10 and 20, 1965, having approached from Tarica through the Punta Carbón, Quebrada Racuay, Quebrada Quitaracsa, Quebrada Mayobamba and finally the Quebrada Tayapampa until after two days’ travel we reached the eastern slopes of Alpamayo. On the 14th, after setting up camp near the glaciers, we explored the col between Jancarurish and Tayapampa and climbed a peak of 5300 meters (17,389 feet) on the east ridge of Jancarurish. We returned to the col on the 15 th and climbed the north ridge of Jancarurish, reaching the summit at 2:35 p.m. Our altimeter recorded 5825 meters (19,193 feet) but I am sure this is too high and that it is about 5700 meters (18,701 feet). (This is the peak connected to Alpamayo and north of it. — Editor. )
