Climbing Tocllaraju Climb - Cordillera Blanca

Summit: 6032 meter (19.790 ft)
Difficulty: moderate (D)
Duration expedition Huaraz - summit - Huaraz: 4 Days

Good to combine with Ishinca 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.
Ishinca combined with Tocllaraju takes 5-6 days.

Day-per-day itinerary

Tent       Breakfast       Lunch       Dinner

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.

Day 2
Today we take our time and by 10-11 AM we start hiking to the Tocllaraju high camp where we arrive approx. 2-3 hours later. Porters help us carrying food, equipment and tents.
Briefing about the attack with your guide and preparation of your pack for tomorrow.

Day 3
We get up at 0:00 AM to have breakfast (or maybe only drink a cup of coffee) and get dressed. At 1 AM we start hiking towards the glacier to reach the summit approximately 5-7 hours later. Descend to basecamp. Porters help us carrying food, equipment and tents.

Day 4
From the basecamp hike back to Pashpa from where our private transport will take you back to Huaraz for your well-deserved shower.

Included:
  • Mountain guide, cook & Porters
  • Donkeys & donkey drivers (amount depends on the group size)
  • All food during the expedition (good, healthy and varied food. Vegetarian option.)
  • 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.
  • Entrance fee National Park Huascaran

  • Return or abortion otherwise as planned itinerary: transport & possible accommodation costs (also for staff)

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).
