Peaks near Ausangate, Cordillera Vilcanota. On June 30 Herman Plugge, Margreet Hogeweg, Pauline Willinge, Bert Vonk and I left the Hacienda Tinqui for the mountains and on July 2 Hogeweg and I climbed Campa I (17,996 feet) on the way to Base Camp south of Ausangate, which we established on July 3. On the 5th all of us but Hogeweg climbed P 5680 (18,625 feet), which has been called Mariposa Chica and Mariposa Sureste; we were told its true name is Wekiriti. From July 7 to 14 we attempted the south ridge of Ausangate but bad snow conditions and weather prevented our completing the climb. On July 16 Plugge, Hogeweg and I climbed Ccapana (18,784 feet) from camp on the Jatunhuma Glacier. Plugge, Hogeweg and I walked up Palomani (17,060 feet) on July 18. In a second attempt Vonk and Willinge climbed the northeast ridge of the steep, isolated rock needle of Surimani (17,865 feet) on July 19.
