Hey friends, back from Peru. A rather unproductive season, for a variety of reasons. You might get more on that later. But for now, I just wanted to share a resource I have been working on: a summary of all new Blanca climbs reported in the American Alpine Journal since 2003, when the last round of guidebooks for the Cordillera Blanca were published.

This is a rough sketch, mostly made for my own reference. It will mean nothing if you don’t speak climber. But since up-to-date information on this region seems so hard to get, I thought I would share. This covers ONLY the Cordillera Blanca, not the Cordillera Huayhuash or the southern Peruvian ranges.

This document is intended to give an idea of reported new routes since the last publication of new guidebooks, circa 2003. To discover more info on a climb, use the AAJ online portal: https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/ The online reports may often include photos and details not noted in my list.

You can find my summary of recent first ascents in the Cordillera Blanca, here.

Thanks to the American Alpine Club Library in Golden, which made compiling this info easy and convenient.
