We will trek into our base camp and have access to a variety of nearby peaks. The goal of the trip is to develop high-altitude mountaineering skills or refine the skills you already possess.

The Ishinca Valley is located just outside of Huaraz, and is an excellent location to climb a variety of peaks. This trip will ascend a variety of climbs that are great for beginning high altitude climbers wanting to gain high altitude climbing experience.

The short approach provides for a maximum amount of time to acclimate and learn glacier, snow and ice climbing skills.
