South America, Peru, Cordillera Blanca, Peaks in the Cordillera Blanca

Publication Year: 1978.

Peaks in the Cordillera Blanca. Our expedition consisted of Hansjörg Jesacher, Heinrich Renzl, Albrecht Thausing, Franz Gruber, Helmut Hüttinger and me. We traversed the entire Urus ridge and continued on towards Tocllaraju but did not get to the top of the latter because of bad weather. From Auquiskocha on July 27 while the others climbed Chekiacraju by its south side, I climbed its west ridge and continued over the intervening peak and on to Tulparaju. We finally all climbed Hua- scarán. The four climbers of the Salzburg Naturfreunde expedition climbed Copa and Alpamayo by the normal routes.
