ARTESONRAJU (6025 m. - 19767 ft.), "The Mountain icon of the Paramount Pictures" |
|
|
The Artesonraju mountain belongs to the massif of the Huandoy, the North is bordered by the Santa Cruz Valley, by the East with the Huaripampa Valley and South the streams of Morococha and Llanganuco, surrounds as a horseshoe the Parón Lake, with its form triangular in its slope, is one of the most beautiful snowy world and |
|
especially of the Cordillera de los Andes. This magnificent ice pyramid is located in the white mountain range of Peru, between the streams of Santa Cruz by North and the halt on the South. To the North, its spectacular shape reminds the characteristic "Paramount peak" "Paramount Pictures" seen from the Alpamayo Base Camp.
The name owes it to his form of coffer, this polygonal embellishment in the ceilings and vaults of some buildings. |
|
On August 19, 1932, e. Hein, and e. Scheneider reached the Summit for the first time from the vicinity of the Jatuncocha Lake, they climbed the spur East. and the North ridge.
Its two main routes. The first corresponds to the N edge; accessible by the Santa Cruz Valley and la Artison Valley, and the second by the face, to which it is accessed by the Paron Lake, located at the end of the Creek of the same name. The latter is renowned for excellent ice climbing that requires approximately 1200 meters of slope and slope sustained from 45 to 55 °, sometimes surpassing the 70°.
There are four main routes, the variant of the South Ridge (climbing for the first time by T. Sbrizaj, S. Semraj, and B. Naglić |
|
on July 18, 1993) and the Normal or wall South East, climbing for the first time by k. Schreckenbach, H. Saler and k. Süssmilch on June 24, 1969. The East Ridge and the last, a combination of edge and wall East (access from Santa Cruz Valley, in the North), are less frequented.
It is important to remember that the ridge to the Summit of the "Arteson" is known for, due to the fragile conditions of its cornices. In the same way, there is enough risk of avalanches at the beginning of the season. At the end of 2008 an avalanche leave without ice almost 200 m. to the beginning of the wall, making the route made more complicated.
