Climbing Ishinca Climb - Cordillera Blanca

Summit: 5530 meter (18.143 ft)
Difficulty: Easy (F)
Duration Expedition Huaraz - Summit - Huaraz: 3 days

Good to combine with Tocllaraju and perhaps Mount Urus (5423) to start with. Urus is a very easy mountain but due to the decrease of the glacier there is only little snow left on the way to the summit. While one has to take off and put on his crampons several times Urus has become a lot less interesting, especially in comparison to Ishinca.
Tocllaraju with its 6032 masl is one of the easiest 6000ers on earth and therefor very popular among adventurers. Ishinca combined with Tocllaraju takes 5-6 days.

Day 1
Pick up from your hotel at 8 AM and private transport to Pashpa where our donkeys and donkey drivers will be waiting for us. From there we walk approximately 4-5 hours to the Ishinca Basecamp.
Briefing about the attack with your guide and preparation of your pack for tomorrow.

Day 2
We get up at 2 AM to have breakfast (or maybe only drink a cup of coffee) and get dressed. At 3 AM we start hiking towards the glacier to reach the summit approximately 5-6 hours later. Descend to basecamp.

Day 3
From the basecamp hike back to Pashpa from where our private transport will take you back to Huaraz for your well-deserved shower.

  • Private transport to/from Trailstart/end.
  • All cooking equipment, social tent, bathroom tent, foldable chairs, ...
  • Sleeping tents (Mountain Equipment Coop, Salewa, Northface) depending on the necesity of the tour, Thermarest inflatable mattresses.

Comment: at Ishinca basecamp you could also stay in the Refugee if desired. Extra pay to do so is approximately US $ 15 per night. We will still carry all tents and mattresses though - quite often they have a lot of people and it is too noisy to actually be able to sleep (and hence, clients return to their tents).
