Classic Climbs of the Cordillera Blanca, Peru

Classic Climbs of the Cordillera Blanca is, by far, the most beautiful and comprehensive mountaineering guidebook yet produced about Peru's - and South America's - most famous mountain range. This revised edition includes updated information and prices on transportation, hotels, restaurants, porters, burros, cooks, guides costs, Huascaran National Park, rescue information, hospitals, and logistical information, along with new route information on Alpamayo, Huandoy Sur, Yanapaccha, Vallunaraju and Ocshapalca.

With 182 spectacular colour images, including 16 panoramas, and detailed descriptions, author Brad Johnson leads us to the best that the Cordillera Blanca has to offer. Also included are 12 three-dimensional maps, using a cartographic technique never before presented in a climbing guidebook.

Johnson's savvy travel tips and colourful anecdotes support the conventional wisdom that nowhere else are high-altitude climbs so enjoyable, accessible and inexpensive. Here, for the first time, is all the information you need about the Cordillera Blanca under one cover. Foreword by Adrian Burgess.
