Pirámide, Mountain summit in Ancash Department, Peru.
Standing at 5,885 meters, Pirámide rises above Lake Parón in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range with steep faces and glacial formations.
The northwest face of Pirámide was first conquered in May 1957 by mountaineers G. Hauser, B. Huhn, and H. Wiedmann during their expedition.
The mountain sits within Huascarán National Park, named after Peru's highest peak, reflecting the region's connection to Andean mountaineering traditions.
Climbers need advanced technical skills to navigate the 60-degree ice couloirs and mixed snow terrain while ascending from the 4,800-meter base camp.
The mountain presents three distinct climbing routes: the northwest face, southwest face, and west ridge, each requiring different technical approaches.
