Vallunaraju Climb
Vallunaraju Climb 5’686m
Vallunaraju is one of the few peaks in the Cordillera Blanca that can be climbed from Huaraz in two days. It is suitable for both first time climbers and also experienced climbers. A good peak to include at the end of your trek or for acclimatization for climbing bigger peaks. Although graded as an easy climb, the high altitude and long and in places steep snow slopes do make Vallunaraju a physically demanding climb. It is also necessary to carry all equipment up to Moraine Camp on the mountain on a steep trail. Porters carry tents, food, climbing rope up to Moraine Camp and back, but you need to carry your own personal gear.
Itinerary
Day 1:Huaraz - Moraine Camp
From Huaraz we drive 1.5 hours to the Llaca Valley (4350m). Then we climb steeply up a ridge for 2 to 3 hours to Moraine Camp (4760m). During this hike we will see mountains in the east site like San Juan, Ranrapalca, Ocshapalca, and Leon Dormido.
Day 2:Moraine Camp - Vallunaraju Summit - Moraine Camp - Huaraz
Early in the morning around 4:00 am we start a short climb over the rocks for about 25 minutes to get to the beginning of the glacier. We put on our climbing gear and climb around 4 hours up. A steady and not steep on good snow slopes towards the summit (5686m). The last 60m is steeper and will feel exposed – the guide will help you with this. After enjoying the views and taking pictures, we go back down to the Moraine Camp (4760m) for about 2 hours. Then we return back to the road in the Llaca Valley and drive to Huaraz.
