Description

Full of exciting climbing options, the Cordillera Blanca in Peru is an absolute treat for any mountaineer. From intermediate climbers to climbing experts, there are so many climbing options to enjoy that it may be more challenging choosing where to climb than actually climbing!

On this trip, together we will choose the perfect climbing spot in Peru for you. We will discuss everything from your skill level to your personal preferences prior to selecting the right peak. We will also consider weather conditions, snow conditions and other factors well in advance of the beginning of the trip as well.

When it comes to possibilities as to where to climb in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru, the list is as long as it is exciting. Just a few examples of where we can go include the following.

Yanapaccha (5,460m)
Ishinca (5,530m)
Alpamayo (5,947m)
Tocclarajulera (6,032m)
Pisco (5,752m)
Urus Este (5,420m)
Artesonraju (6,025m)

Our base for this climbing trip in Peru will be the city of Huaraz. For the purpose of further acclimatization, along with spending some time in Huaraz, we can also take exciting journeys to nearby spots like Lake Churup or Hatun Machay. After you’re properly acclimatized, our climbing adventure can begin!

Needless to say, due to the demanding nature of the peaks you can choose to climb on this trip, participants should be in good physical condition. Furthermore, it is important that your experience and skill level properly matches the peaks you wish to climb.

Alpine climbing in Peru is a thrilling adventure. The views, the atmosphere, the experience is beyond exciting, it is magical. To feel that magic, all you have to do is send us a request. We look forward to guiding you.

Mountain Guide

At Adventure Spirit we provide Rock, Ice and Alpine Experiences.

Our guide operations are led by Kel Rossiter. After stints in the military, the corporate world, and a Zen monastery, Kel began pursuing climbing as his professional passion. A Washington native, his first summit was an all-cotton ascent of Mt. Adams (12,281'). Fortunately, he went on to get appropriate training and since then he has climbed and guided rock and ice in twelve different countries on four continents. Now based in Vermont for most of the year, Kel owns and operates Adventure Spirit LLC, a rock, ice, and alpine guide service specializing in Northeastern climbing destinations.

Kel is also active in higher education, serving as a faculty member/instructor at several area colleges and holding a doctoral degree in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies. He has complemented his university studies with American Mountain Guide Association (AMGA) training, having become an IFMGA Mountain Guide.

Kel is an Ortovox Athlete/Guide Ambassador, and he also enjoys bringing the mountain experience to people through writing and has been published in Climbing Magazine, Alpinist, and The Seattle Times, among others. In between his stints in the mountains, Kel serves on the boards of CRAG-VT, Vermont’s climbing access organization and the Vermont Outdoor Guide Association. And though he left the Zen monastery long ago, he still does see the value found in just sitting still.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
