Yanapaccha

Height: 5,460 m

Country:

Peru

Yanapaccha, standing at 5,460 meters, is a less-crowded peak in the Cordillera Blanca, known for its challenging crevassed glacier and steep summit headwall. The climb is more technical than others in the area, requiring solid ice-climbing skills and careful navigation through crevasses. It’s a great peak for those looking to push their abilities and gain experience on steeper terrain. The views from the summit are rewarding, with close-ups of the dramatic peaks of Chacraraju and Pisco, as well as the broader Cordillera Blanca range.
