Nevado Chicón, Southwest Face of South PeakPeru, Cordillera Urubamba
On June 3, Andres Putallaz (Argentina) and I left Urubamba at noon and traveled up the ChicónValley. Climbing up the east side of the valley brought us to the glacier below the south peak ofNevado Chicón (5,526m), where we set a bivouac at 7 p.m. [The north-south ridgeline of Chicón spansabout 2 km. The southern summit is approximately 5,380m.) At 3 a.m. we crossed the glacier, passingsome crevasses, and started up the southwest wall. After about four rope lengths of climbing wearrived at the ridge leading to the south summit. We descended the same route, arriving back at thebivy at 4 p.m. and continuing to Urubamba that evening.
