Nevado Parón, Huandoy Oeste and Other Peaks. Our expedition was made up of Boštjan Kekec, Franc Langerholc, Željko Perko, Stane Stanovnik, Damjan Vidmar and me as leader. On May 30 Langerholc, Stanovnik and I climbed the middle of the 1300-foot-high west face of Nevado Parón (5600 meters, 18,373 feet). At times it was dangerous since we were below huge séracs. We reached the face from the eastern end of Laguna Parón. After Kekec and Vidmar climbed Huandoy Norte (6395 meters, 20,981 feet) by the normal route on June 5, they made a new descent. From the col between Huandoy Norte and Huandoy Oeste they started in the séracs on the top of the southwest face and continued down the face to a very crevassed glacier, the first 350 feet of which were easy but which became progressively steeper. The middle section was really a hanging glacier before they reached the lower glacier and moraine. We also climbed the normal routes on Artesonraju, Pisco, Yanapatsa and Chopicalqui.
