Climbing Chopicalqui
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.
