Expedition to Huascaran Sur, Cordillera Blanca

Huascaran Sur, Cordillera Blanca, Peru 1989 (RockClimbing.com): "In 1989, I joined an American expedition to climb in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru, a lofty mountain range with 66 glaciated yearround snow-capped peaks over 20,000 feet elevation."

This account "recaps that ascent which was followed by a visit to Cuzco and then by train to the famous Inca ruins, Macchu Pichu before returning to the US."
