Chopicalqui[1][2] or Chopicallqui[3] (possibly from Huaylas Quechua Chawpi "center" kallki "ravine")[4] is a mountain in the Cordillera Blanca area in the Andes of Peru.[1] With a summit elevation of 6,354 metres (20,846 ft) above sea level[1] it is one of the highest peaks of the Cordillera Blanca. It lies in Yungay Province, Ancash, between the mountains Huascarán and Contrahierbas.[1][3]
Climbing
[edit]The standard climbing route is the Southwest Ridge, a moderate snow climb that is popular with climbers and can be crowded at times. It possesses a difficulty rating of PD+/AD- on the French System for grading alpine routes but deep snow on the summit slopes causes most failures for parties attempting the ridge.[5]
Other established climbing routes include the following:
