Description

At first, when looking upon the mammoth peaks in the Cordillera Blanca in Peru, it would appear that every snow-capped peak is difficult to climb. However, there are actually some relatively easy, yet still giant, mountains in the range that you can climb, in just a single day! One of those mountains is Huarapasca (5,418m).

Incredibly accessible, Huarapasca has 3 slopes of 60 to 70 degrees, which make them perfect to gain experience with climbing. Climbing this mountain is also a perfect way to get properly acclimatized if you have ambitions on climbing other, larger peaks in the area. Finally, the views you will get from the summit, not just of the Cordillera Blanca, but also Huayhuash, Negra and Hualcan, are incredible.

Our trip will begin in Huaraz, very early, at 3:00 am. From there, we will go to the Campo Morrena (4,950m). After that, we will climb to the summit of Huarapasca, which you will reach in the morning, where you can see the sun shining. We will then descend the mountain and return to Huaraz.

While this trip is available to climbers of various levels, it is important that all participants are in good physical condition.

Would you like to climb a 5,000 meter plus peak in Peru in just 1 day? If so, send a request and join us on this trip to the summit of Huarapasca.

Are you looking for a much more challenging climb? Then join us on this 6-day expedition to the summit of Huascaran.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.
