HUASCARAN (6768 m. - 22 204 ft.), "The Highest Mountain of Peru" |
| |
|
The Huascaran massif is best known and highest elevation of all ranges of the Peruvian Andes, in the Cordillera Blanca, in the Province of Yungay, it's only three snow mountains: Huascaran Soth 6768 m. the highest peak in Peru, Huascaran North 6655 m. and Chopicalqui 6354 m. and its name to the National Park, |
|
and every year there is huge number of ascents, is the tallest tropical snowy land. The north face of Huascaran presents a rock of almost a thousand meters, for excellent climbing.
Its name comes from the Quechua waskha (string) and ran (stones or rocky mountains), so Huascarán means "mountain." Another version says that the name could derive from Huascán snow, which appears on the map of Peru, Ancash Department, Antonio Raimondi (1873). There are several legends about the origin of the name Huascaran, but the most likely is a dedication to the Inca Huascar, "The Inca Huayna Capac when by Yungay Was he named his eldest son Huascar to the highest and beautiful mountain ', so Huascaran that also means "The mountain of Huascar."

The conquest of the North summit, on August 2, 1908, was controversial for having questioned the rise of American Annie Peck, both of Swiss guides R. Taugwalder, G. Zum Taugwald, like his compatriot Fanny Bullock-Workman. Although some photographs of Peck to the Huascaran South could be taken near the summit of the North and the descriptions seem to match existing.
In 1932 he reached the South Summit, H. Bernard, P. Borchers, E. Hein, H. Hoerlin, E. Schneider.
The next climb was in the year 1939 by the Austro-German expedition by W. Brecht, K. Heckler, S. Roher, K. Schmidt, H. Schweiser.

On July 8, 1953 amounted E. San Vicente and M. Villavicencio of the Mexican expedition.
On August 11, 1954 S. Villanueva, G. Cornejo, A. Yanac, J. Acosta and G. Yanac, made the first ascent of Peru, and the fourth recorded at this North summit.
In 1970, an earthquake caused the release of a large mass of ice, snow and rocks of the north summit, causing the complete disappearance of the town of Yungay, killing more than 20,000 people. The earthquake caused extensive damage in many cities of called small north of the Peru, from Huacho in the department of Lima to Trujillo in the department of La Libertad. As the population of Yungay was buried by the avalanche that came from Huascaran North, Musho became the new starting point to normal routes of Huascaran North and South.
