Yerupajá, Mountain summit in Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru
The Yerupajá peak reaches an elevation of 6,634 meters, making it the second-highest mountain in Peru and the highest point of the Huayhuash range.
Jim Maxwell and Dave Harrah completed the first successful climb of Yerupajá in 1950, marking the beginning of mountaineering expeditions on this peak.
The mountain serves as a natural boundary between the Ancash and Huánuco regions, representing a geographical marker for local communities in the central Andes.
Climbers access Yerupajá through the town of Chiquian, with May through September offering the most suitable conditions for mountain expeditions.
The mountain contains multiple glaciers and technical climbing routes, with its southwest face presenting the primary path for mountaineers attempting the ascent.
