Climbing Pisco(5,750m)

TIMING: 3 / 4 days
GRADE: Medium

Pisco is an excellent choice for first time mountaineers and as an acclimatisation peak for climbers going on to the higher Peruvian peaks. For keen trekkers and people acclimatised and with no, or limited, experience on snow and ice, this is a must.

This 4 day guided climbing trip is surrounded by beautiful high mintas like Huascaran, Huandoy, chopicalqui and from the top you have a tremendous view of the chacraraju.

Día 3: Summit Day
We climb 40 minutes on moraine until we reach the glacier where we put on crampons and rope up. About 5 hours to the summit. There is a short steep section of around 4m of steep section. The rest of the way is not very steep or difficult.
