Description

Nevado Pisco (5,752 m) is one of the most magnificent peaks in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru. Only 60 kilometers north of the town of Huaraz, this colossal mountain awaits for you. Stand at its summit and get the most breathtaking views of the region.

This marvellous peak used to be an easy climb. But, the primary route melted considerably, changing the dynamics of the ascent and making it more challenging. Thus, it is the perfect ascent if you are looking for new challenges and of course, stunning sceneries, including views of Alpamayo, Artesonraju, Chopicalqui and Huascarán.

Reaching the top of Pisco will involve mostly walking on snow slopes that reach up to 35º. However, there’s a short section of around 100 meters of steep ice, along with other patches that will require the use of ropes and other technical equipment. We will ascend using the SW Rdige route.

Participants must have a good fitness level, as there will be parts that will be difficult to reach. But the views we’ll get from the top, make it totally worth it!

Besides, I will be there with you throughout the whole journey, making sure you are safe, while having a great time. You’ll only have to worry about carrying your personal climbing gear and taking in the mesmerizing views.

So, if you are up for this adventure, just request to book this trip, and let me take care of the rest. I promise it will be an amazing adventure, you won’t be able to forget.

I also guide this 4-day Santa Cruz Classic Trek in the Cordillera Blanca if you are looking for an easier trip.

We’ll use ropes mainly for glacier travel and for low-angle snow or ice slopes. Previous climbing experience is preferred, but it is not essential. You’ll need a good fitness level (to measure it, you should be able to walk for up to 9 hours carrying a considerable heavy backpack).

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
