South America, Peru–Cordillera Blanca, Quebrada Ulta

Publication Year: 1972.

Quebrada Ulta. An Italian expedition led by Giuseppe Dionisi had a very frustrating time. Their objectives were already being climbed by expeditions that had got into the field ahead of them. Expedition members fell ill and the weather was the worst in years. They accomplished very little. Signor Dionisi has written the Editor that he was pleased with training they gave their porters in rock and ice technique.
