Siula Grande, Mountain summit in Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru.
Siula Grande rises to 6,344 meters in elevation, featuring steep ice walls and a prominent subpeak called Siula Chico at 6,260 meters.
Austrian mountaineers Arnold Awerzger and Erwin Schneider completed the first successful ascent of Siula Grande via the North Ridge in August 1936.
The mountain gained recognition through Joe Simpson's personal account of survival following a climbing accident, documented in literature and film adaptations.
Climbers accessing Siula Grande typically establish base camp in the Huayhuash Circuit, requiring multiple days of acclimatization before attempting the summit.
The west face route completed by Simpson and Yates in 1985 remains relatively unexplored, with subsequent climbers choosing alternative paths to the summit.
