Elegant and perfect to learn and practice glacier climbing skills.
Climbing Mt. Yanapaccha
Slightly lower than its nearby neighbor Mount Pisco, and a bit more technical, it’s not as popular. But the view from this summit could very well be one of the most spectacular in the Cordillera Blanca. The initial approach is concise and moderate from where the glacier offers an excellent opportunity to learn and practice glacier skills. The upper slopes will teach and test front-pointing and other steep-slope climbing techniques—also, a good acclimatization climb.

This was the first mountain climb in my life as result I got a great experience. I chose Akilpo for a reason, definitely, all was handled very professionally. not just caring about the main tour that I booked, all the processes that I needed before were organized in the most proper way to be ready to attempt this mountain. Akilpo´s guide was fully certified and very knowledgeable about this mountain, he was patient enough, careful, and above all very safe to lead me to the summit. Now just making my plan to go back and choose this Company again for multiple mountains in this great mountain range.
