Limitless Madness on Mt. Yerupaja, Peru

At the end of July a three-man Slovenian expedition to Peru climbed an impressive new route up the NE Face of Mt. Yerupaja (6617 m), Cordilliera Huayhuash. Matevz Kramer, Matej Mejovsek and Tadej Zorman spent 26 hours forging their way up the 1900m line, grading “Limitless Madness” VI, WI6, 5c.

The trio enjoyed stable and sunny weather conditions but, setting out on 26 July, battled hard against falling rocks and seracs as they made their way up to the summit. The face was last climbed in 1977.
