Cayesh: The Calling

In June 2005 Steve House and Marko Prezelj climbed a new route on Cayesh, an 18,765-foot peak in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru. The new route on the west face was completed in 16 hours and 30 minutes roundtrip from the glacier. The climbing on this 11-pitch route was uncertain from start to summit: The initial 450 feet of an ice/snow couloir was followed by eleven steep pitches of mixed climbing (M7+), one pitch of pure rock (5.10 at 18,000 feet) and a last pitch of ice/snow that led to the corniced summit. Video shot by House and Prezelj.

I love how Marko is annoyed by the filming… and seeing Steve House this young, what a pleasure!

[@sprucy434]

THAT HANGERRRR NIOCEEE

[@kraljich990]

Awesome! Steve House speaking Slovene!....well that was very surprising. I've read in his book, how him and Marko communicate in both languages, but I did not expect that.

Once you've seen what these guys can do, it is hard to go about your 9 to 5 day. They are masters.

@icychap The DAS parka is amazing, search around and find one on sale, if your an ice climber or a mountaineer you can't do better. Its light, very warm for how thick it is and works very well when its wet. While your getting that you might wanna get an R1 Hoody, steve talks about all these in his clothing system for Nanga Parbat.

[@AdrianCalgary]

Very risky; I was expected a bit better views from the summit, but I imagine it was very narrow hard to film from up there.

[@pikeflyfisherman]

I think Steve House uses Metolius cams, worth a look.

[@tylerars24]

awesome climb. What are those cams?

[@icychap]

How do you like that DAS parka?
