The 5500-6000m peaks of the Andes - page 1
This page last updated 6th July 2007
This page lists the peaks of height 5774-5999m in the Andes, peaks number 103-200 in our lists. We have now listed and located all the 5000m peaks in the Andes (with over 400m re-ascent) on this website, about 855 peaks over 5000m, spread over four big files!!!
We are currently researching a new list which will contain a few corrections to this list and our 6000m peak list due to new information from the 2000 SRTM data. This should be published later in 2006.
Heights in red below have already been revised due to the SRTM data. Many thanks to Jonathan de Ferranti for help with this.

This list © 2001-2007 John Biggar. This list is now
believed to be about 99% accurate i.e. there are probably 10 or so peaks not
included that should be and perhaps one or two included that should not be. All
heights are in metres.
We also now have a list of all the 300 or more
peaks on this website in alphabetical order
The grid co-ordinates are included to help distinguish
un-named and similarly named peaks. They are for the top right (i.e.NE) corner
of the latitude-longitude block in which the mountain appears, this is the usual
convention on South American maps. Peaks in brackets have uncertain re-ascent. In many areas of South America, particularly in parts of Argentina, the
heights of many peaks are subject to debate. Some peaks having quoted heights
that differ by 300m or more. The heights given here are thought to be the most
widely accepted figures, many are taken from the most recent Argentine surveys.
The peaks are arranged in groups of ten. An asterisk by the date of
first ascent denotes a peak known to have had a Pre-Columbian ascent, or on
which ruins have been found high up. The date of the first modern ascent is also
given when known. Dates in brackets indicate a disputed first ascent.

SOURCES FOR HEIGHTS USED ON THIS WEBSITE In areas of South America the
heights of some peaks are still subject to debate. Some Argentine peaks have
AIGM survey heights that are 300m higher than the Chilean heights. The main
areas for which no accurate survey maps exist are the Mercedario to Tupungato
area of Argentina and the Patagonian ice-caps area. The heights given on this
site are thought to be generally the most accurate figures taken from the
following sources. In all areas Neate?s book was used when no survey height was
available. In the most uncertain areas detailed above confirmation of many
heights has been sought from the SRTM 2000 data. Venezuela and Colombia - Neate,
confirmed where possible in Colombia by CIGM 1:100,000 Ecuador - IGM 1:50,000 newest
sheet available. Peru - IGM 1:100,000 sheets. The
AV 1930?s surveys of the Cordillera Blanca have been used where the PIGM sheets
do not give a height (Note - the AV heights are mostly 20-30m higher than PIGM
heights) Bolivia - The AV maps for the
Illimani and Ancohuma areas, otherwise BIGM 1:50,000 sheets or 1:250,000 sheets.
Argentina - mostly Argentine IGM
1:250,000 sheets. SRTM data was used to confirm or change many heights in poorly
surveyed areas. Chile and Chile/Bolivia and
Chile/Argentina border peaks - Chilean IGM 1:50,000 or 1:250,000 sheets, which
are generally much more modern than Argentine surveys in this area. Patagonia - ChIGM 1:250,000
sheets where possible, Andes Patagonicos sheets for peaks on the icecaps,
Fitzroy area and Cord. Darwin with some more important heights confirmed (where
possible) by the SRTM data.
The criterion used to select this list is a re-ascent height of 400m from any
higher peak. Peak numbers follow on from our list of the 102 peaks over 6000m,
so should start at number 103.
