The extraordinary beauty of this place is well known to our friend Sergio Ramirez, founder of the guiding company ourmountain<\/a>with whom he has been organising this and other treks in the Andes for more than 25 years. It is a privilege to be able to share with you the fantastic report that Sergio has dedicated to us about the Huayhuash trekking<\/strong>.<\/p> Text and photos:<\/strong> courtesy of Sergio Ramirez Carrascal (nuestramontana.com<\/a>).<\/p> MESSNER AND HABELER. YERUPAJ\u00c1 GRANDE, YEAR 1969.<\/b><\/p> In 1969, two unknown young mountaineers opened a route on the east face of the Yerupaj\u00e1grande (6.636m)<\/strong> on the emblematic Huayhuash mountain range<\/strong>The expedition was a great success. Years later, one of them, who would participate in this expedition replacing a member of the original team, would relate in one of his books the difficult moments and the \"fear\" they had to endure on this majestic and vertical wall, seen from the beautiful meadows of the village of Queropalca, which remains today, as intact and natural as it was when he was a member of the original team. Reinhold Messner<\/strong> y Peter Habeler<\/strong>They saw it from the crest of Peru's second highest mountain.<\/p> Years later, each would write their own story. The route has never been repeated.<\/strong><\/p>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Yerupaja_Grande_hz.jpg\")
