Carrizal, Cordillera Central. A German group led by the Austrian, Hannes Gasser of the Alpinschule Innsbruck, was prevented by the earthquake from going to the Cordillera Blanca in June 1970. Instead, they left the Lima-La Oroya road just north of Chicla and drove up a mine road to Laguna Carrizal at 15,250 feet. On June 9, 1970 thirteen climbed Nevado Chuchicocha (c. 17,000 feet) and on June 11 ten climbed Nevado Carrizal (17,392 feet). Both lie just northwest of Chicla.
