French climber Charlotte Durif and American climbing partner Josh Larson have established Vuelo del Condo, an interesting new multi-pitch sports climb in Peru. Located at an altitude of 4600 meters on Kuntur Sayana close to Pitumarca, the pair discovered this immaculate limestone face last year during their A World Less Traveled climbing trip around the world and returned this season with the route in mind.
The seven-pitch route was established over a period of nine days. Swinging leads, the duo freed the line on 19 September, climbing quickly on the upper section to avoid an incoming storm. The route boasts seven pitches of fairly sustained difficulties: 8a+, 7b+, 8a, 8a, 8a, 7c, 5-.
