Not even three months after the impressive first ascent of the northwest face of Chamlang in Nepal, Czech mountaineer Márek Holeček has struck again with another impressive new route up Huandoy North in Peru. Climbing with Radoslav Groh, Holeček climbed the 6360m with two bivouacs in 55 hours, past difficulties up to M6, WI6 on the 1200 meters route
Details of the first ascent will follow in due course - currently the duo are aiming to establish something new on Huascaran - but the new route Huandoy North called Boys 1970, in remembrance of the approximately 70,000 victims of the 1970 Ancash earthquake which included 14 climbers from the Czech Republic.
