Description 

Some ok boulders about 30 minutes east of Huaraz. Watch out for the cows. Picturesque as hell. Nice day hikes in the area too.


Getting There 

From Lima you can take a bus overnight up to Huaraz. I think it's about a 12 hr bus ride.

Cool features, some stemming, a spike or tufa, and then the crux at the top. This route is a bit sportier than most we climbed that day....[more]   Browse More Classics in International

Huaraz is the climbing capitol of Peru and a super cool town nestled at the base of some of the most spectacular mountains in the world. From the above description I'd think it was a lame bouldering area full of ornery cows. Also, when I think of picturesque, hell isn't the first place that comes to mind.

No doubt, Kurt. The above description definitely doesn't do the place justice. Huaraz is THE hub for trekking, mountaineering and climbing in the Cordillera Blanca, Negra, and Huayhuash. Ridiculously sick mountains all around Huaraz but be clear, Watch out for those Cows!
