Just a few days after their first ascents on Urus Oeste in Peru, Iker and Eneko Pou have now forged a spectacular new mixed climb on the north face of Cashan, a 5716m peak in the nearby Rajucolta valley.
The Basque brothers set off early on 21 June from their bivy at 500 meters and required circa 8 hours to reach the summit, having breached difficulties up to M6 85° in the 980m line, and descended down the opposite side of the mountain before returning to base camp in a 13.5 hour round trip.
The route has been named Bizirik, alive in English, and is now the the twelfth climb established by the Pou brothers in the Cordillera Blanca range of the Peruvian Andes, and the third this summer.
