Chequiaraju, Mountain summit in Cordillera Blanca, Peru
Chequiaraju reaches an elevation of 5,286 meters within the Cordillera Blanca range, featuring steep faces covered in snow and complex glacier formations.
Polish mountaineers achieved the first successful ascent of Chequiaraju in 1952, marking the beginning of regular expeditions to this Andean peak.
The mountain's name combines Quechua words representing the natural elements, reflecting the indigenous language preservation in the Ancash region of Peru.
Climbers access Chequiaraju through Huaraz city, where they find equipment rentals, experienced mountain guides, and necessary permits for the ascent.
The mountain presents different technical climbing routes on each face, with the western ridge connecting to peak P.5130 and continuing toward Pariaqaqa.
