PISCO ASCENT
Huaraz - Cebollapampa in vehicle ( 3 hs. aprox.)
DAY 1 .- The walk to Pisco base camp path meanders from the valley floor, crossing several rivers, before ascending the hillside. Finally, the sparse trees give way to an open valley at the head of which we will find the base camp and refuge "Peru". (4750 m.)
We follow the morain terrain to "morain camp" (4900 m.) The camp will be close to little lake.
The view from there are really amazing to Yanapaccaha, Huandoy, Chopicalqui, Huascarán ...

DAY 2 .- 3 a.m. start the ascent to the summit.
We will gain the glacier just beyond the lake and follow it without difficulty to the Huandoy-Pisco Col (5,350m). From here, the route climbs broad slopes towards the summit. Although never steep (up to 45°), we will need to be careful in picking our route through crevasses and over snow bridges before approaching the final summit section. Here we may encounter the steepest snow slope, a short pitch of 50 - 60 º, before pulling on to the summit. Our ascent will be rewarded by absolutely brilliant views ( 360 °), especially of Chacraraju and Huascaran.
