Located
in the department of Ancash, the Cordillera Huayhuash is considered
by climbers to be the best of Peru's mountain areas. Huayhuash
features a dozen major peaks which provide difficult climbs
due to the frequency of avalanches of snow and ice. The highest
peak in the area is Mount Yerupajá (6,634 meters);
followed by Yerupajá Chico (6,121 meters); Jirishanca
(6,094 meters); Siulá Grande (6,344 meters); Rondoy
(5,879 meters); Ninashanca (5,807 meters) and Rasac (6,017
