Alpamayo. On August 20 we climbed Alpamayo. Vitaliano Alvarón was on my rope* and Basques Emilio Hernando and Juan San Sebastián were on the other. Camp was on the north col. We left camp at six A.M., a little late because it had been snowing before dawn. We reached the summit at two P.M. and were back in camp on the col at seven P.M.

* This is the first rope of all Peruvians to have reached the summit of Alpamayo, although a Peruvian, Alberto Callupe accompanied the Yugoslavs a few weeks earlier.
