Rasac

Rasac rises to 6,017 meters above sea level, featuring a broad profile and multiple climbing routes across its limestone and sandstone structure.

The mountain holds evidence of ancient oceanic floors through marine fossils found in its limestone beds, dating back 90 million years.

The name derives from Quechua language meaning toad, reflecting the indigenous naming patterns of the Andean mountains in Peru.

Climbers require full self-sufficiency equipment and high-altitude preparation, as the mountain receives fewer than one expedition per year.

The Right Buttress remains unexplored while the East Face contains unstable rock formations, limiting climbing options for mountaineers.
