Baboso 6070m
(also known as Veladero N.E.)
In the southern Puna de Atacama in the province of Catamarca. We made the first known ascent of this peak with four clients on one of our First Ascents expeditions in November 2000.
Baboso (a.k.a. Veladero N.E.) from Veladero. The ascent was by the prominent half rock, half snow ridge facing the camera
The summit of Veladero northeast, 6070m, four "Andes" clients make the first ever ascent, November 2000. A cold and windy day ... unusual for the Puna!!?
We can organise guided ascents of this peak. For details of how to climb Veladero, Baboso and the neighbouring peaks of the Puna, please see our guidebooks, which are available in English, Spanish and French editions, direct from us or from all good bookshops and mountaineering shops.
