This mountain is located in the Huascaran National Park and it is 6,162 meters above sea level. With its amazing characteristic shape, it is not as difficult as it seems. The Ranrapalca is often climbed by it northeast face, its normal and easiest route.

Percy is one of the most experienced guide in the area and he planned the trip very well, so I got my acclimatization well and mentally and physically prepared for the climb, and eventually achieved all my climbing goals and summited all peaks. Will recommend Percy to everyone.

Percy is a great guide, climbing with him you fill very secure. Trip itself was organized perfectly, each day you can count on a lot of support and smile.

Percy executed our plan well. He came up with several options after Huascaran was deemed unclimbable. I will be back to climb with Percy again. He runs a great trip.
