Kikash, Mountain summit in Bolognesi Province, Peru

Kikash is a roughly triangular summit of dark rock in the Waman Wiqi subrange, southwest of the main Wallanka range in the Andes of Peru. It rises to about 5,338 m, with a small snow patch at the top and brown and grey bare earth and stone on its flanks, where ridges and gullies run down toward a deep valley below.

The summit has retained its original Quechua name for centuries, linking the peak directly to the pre-colonial heritage of the Andean region. This linguistic connection reflects the continuity of indigenous identity in the area.

The name Kikash is Quechua, Hispanicized as Quicash; in the local Quechua variant the mountain is also called Pampash, from pampa, "large plain". The stream Pampash rises on the west side and flows west to the Patiwillka River. The small subrange holding the peak is named Waman Wiqi, from waman (falcon or variable hawk) and wiqi (tear).

Climbers visit this summit best during the dry season from May to September when weather conditions allow safer ascents. Clear visibility during these months makes navigation and orientation significantly easier.

Kikash also carries the name Pampash, from the Quechua word pampa, "large plain". The stream Pampash rises on the mountain's west side and runs west into the Patiwillka River, while the lake Waman Wiqi lies to the southeast. The subrange itself is called Waman Wiqi, Quechua for "falcon tear".
