Ranrapalca North Face - Mountaineering in Cordillera Blanca (Peru)

Ranrapalca is located in the beautfiul Cordillera Blanca near the peruvian city Huaraz. We managed to beat the north face, though missed the 100m higher main summit due to our time schedule. We were too late and snow conditions were degrading, so we decided to miss it out.
The decent became quite nasty as we got lost in the icefall on our descend route. Finally, after 24 hours of our departure, we made it back to our base camp.

Wow, that was hardcore. Well done, and good call on retreating safely when you did.

[@visualwhiteout6759]

Thanks for the comment :). actually the retreat was not as safe as we would have wished. despite the skipping of the main summit we got lost on the way down in an icefall with some scatchy crevasses and bergschrunds - but in that situation i didnt film anymore. Nevertheless, was an awesome climb - such a beautiful place.

I have a question, What backpack do you use for the expedition, or what do you recomend? The same for the sleeping bag?

[@visualwhiteout6759]

we used Osprey Variant 52. Really like it and has a good size for multiday climbs (If you dont use donkeys/porters). Sleeping bags really depend on what you wanne climb. We were mostly fine with -10C to -18C rated bags (Mountain Hardware if i remember right).

names of the alpinists ?

[@pedropuelles6011]

Nobody has a name

Film has too much emphasis on the people, not enough on the mountain.
