Chopicalqui is
a mountain located just at the back side of
the highest peak of Peru Huascaran 6768 and
Huandoy mountains. Chopicalqui seems to be
less significant on height than those big
peaks but Chopicalqui is pretty high and its
elevation is 6350m. It does require a great
deal of technical ability, it is necessary
to have experience on snow climb, ice axe,
crampons and rope. Glacier conditions change
and what was an easy walk across a glacier
one year may be a difficult passage through
crevasses for the next season. It offers superb
views of the two Huascaran peaks, the Huandoy
group, and Chacraraju.
Before to attempt Chopicalqui we suggest that
you should trek 6 days minimum and have climbed
a 5000m peak for a good acclimatisation and
fitness.
