Hualcan 6122m

Hualcan lies just to the north of Copa in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru. Normally climbed from the wee town of Huaraz, this mountain has become considerably harder in recent years as the glacier has retreated. There is good ski mountaineering on the plateau between this peak and Copa.
