Classic Climbs of the Cordillera Blanca, Peru

2009 revised edition

Classic Climbs of the Cordillera Blanca is a beautiful and comprehensive mountaineering guidebook yet produced about Peru's - and south America's - most famous mountain range.

182 spectacular colour images, including 16 panoramas and detailed descriptions, author Brad Johnson leads us to the bets that the Cordillera Blanca has to offer. Also included are 12 three-dimensional maps, using a cartographic technique never before presented in a climbing guidebook. Johnson's savvy travel tips and colourful anecdotes support the conventional wisdom that nowhere else are high-altitude climbs so enjoyable accessible and inexpensive.
