Peru Seminar: Elias & Team Complete Full Circumnavigation of the Mountain

July 1, 2016

Elevation: 18,100'

And we made it! Nevado Ishinca greeted us this morning with more ice and steep terrain than any of the three guides remember. Intricate navigation on its summit pyramid required a good deal of attention to crevasses, moats and leaning seracs, but motivation and performance had us on top at 11am. We passed the only other team on the mountain before summiting, and the descent proved to be another adventure to ourselves; we decided to descend via a different route, completing a full circumnavigation of the mountain... not a piece of cake when the subject is an 18,100' prominence. We're headed to bed as we speak, and a well deserved rest day awaits tomorrow. RMI Guide Elías de Andres Martos and Team -Spanish climbing word of the day; Rimaya (bergschrund)
