  Arrival to Base Camp. This mountain is one of the easy ones in this region. You should keep in mind that it is a real high tour with 30° ice passages and chinks on the glacier. We start at Cebollapampa from where a trail leads us to the basecamp of the Pisco. After the first steep ascend a flatter part follows. After a further ascend and a small waterfall we reach a small area, offering us a perfect place to build up our base camp.

  Quite some time before sunset we start our climb to the top. Our headlamps lighting the way through stony grounds and easy glaciers. Later we pass a field of rocks below the Huandoy glacier where we have to calculate with falling stones. On the other side of the glacier, thankfully, dark rocks serve us a better way to the top of Nevado Pisco. Soon we arrive at the entry to the glacier of Nevado Pisco. In the majority of cases there is a clear trace showing us the way to the saddle. So, we have to follow the steep ascend before reaching the top of 5752 meters. Not only the highest mountain in Peru, the Nevado Huascaran, but also several other mountain giants can be observed from here. Also Huandoy and Chopiqualqui appear in the direct neighborhood.
