The Cordillera Blanca of Peru

In June/July of 2016 I spent five weeks exploring the peaks of Peru's Cordillera Blanca range.

A full moon sets while sunrise strikes the tops of Raranpalca and Oschapalca.

Cayesh river cuts through the valley and is fed by countless waterfalls and streams from glacial melt.

Granite walls of a steep ravine on the path to Lake Churup.

Ranrapalca (6162m) towers over surrounding peaks.

Huaraz as seen from the Cordillera Blanca, with the arid Cordillera Negra range in the background.

Maparaju's west face looms large in the distance behind a climber.

Sunset on Milpocraju.

Mist envelops Raranpalca.

A bovine carcass lies undisturbed in a river bed at the head of Quebrada Cayesh.

Spots of sunlight strike an unnamed ridge in Llaca valley.

A crevasse appears like a hidden ice cave amid a snowy glacial surface.

Peering into a crevasse near the summit of Maparaju. This one is over 30m deep.

A climber stares into the gaping maw of a minor peak before ascending.

Ice formations on Ishinca.

Ghoulish formations compose the north peak of Vallunaraju.

The summit pyramid of Ishinca resembles a whipped sundae topping when seen from the col on the southwest ridge.

A rosary swings from the rearview mirror of a taxi on the road down from Quebrada Llaca.

Gus, a Norwegian climber, pauses to find the fastest route across a glacial col to limit his time below the seracs above on Nevado San Juan.

Simeón is a porter from Llupa, a small village outside of Huaraz. He proudly states that he has worked with Brad Johnson, the American climber and author of the definitive English guide to climbing in the Cordillera Blanca.

A cook piles on the final layers of a #8 at Sex Burger in Huaraz.

A spectator shields himself from the midday sun while watching a pickup game in Huaraz.
