Exactly one year ago I was on a 12-day trek around Cordillera Huayhuash in Peru. I will not have to introduce this place to those of you who read Joe Simpson’s incredible book “Touching the Void”. For those who haven’t: Cordillera Huayhuash is a small mountain range in the center of Perú including 6 peaks higher than 6.000m (one of them is Yerupajá – Perú´s second highest) – known mostly for Joe Simpson’s story of survival (go google it) and its amazing scenery.
What you are looking at here is the SW face of Sarapo (6.127m) seen from Paso San Antonio (~4.800m). Siula Grande (the peak Joe Simpson writes about) lies just behind Sarapo – somewhere hidden in the clouds in the UR corner.
THIS IS JUST A TEASER IMAGE – stay tuned for another shot from up there, showing the epic panorama at sunset.
